power and pistols

you send me to orbit but you shoot me down, you bury my name underneath the ground, this land of the free doesn't mean anything, you bargain for life, for a silver coin you plead, much too far, looking for a righteous man but we choose to be gods, mercy, she left us long ago, but i know there is one we still call a hope, your power and pistols, oh, that's all you know, power and pistols, yeah, power and pistols, that's all you know, power and pistols, yeah, greedy little finger, you rob and you kill, yeah, well, you still got the nerve to call me a nigga? uh, this holy grail you've placed on your head, you seek life, but you also seek death, much too far, looking for a righteous man but we choose to be gods, mercy, she left a long time ago, but i know there's one that we still call a hope, your power and pistols, power and pistols, yeah, power and pistols, that's all you know, power and pistols, blacker the berry the sweeter the juice, oh, you break me down, down to my roots, ah.
