I got a letter from the government
The other day
Opened it and read it
It said they were suckers
They wanted me for their army or whatever
Picture me givinâ a damn, I said never
Here is a land that never gave a damn
About a brother like myself
Because I never did
I wasnât witâ it, but just that very minute...
It occurred to me
The suckers had authority
Cold sweatinâ as I dwell in my cell
How long has it been?
They got me sittinâ in the state pen
I gotta get out, but that thought was thought before
I contemplated a plan on the cell floor
Iâm not a fugitive on the run
But a brother like me begun, to be another one
Public enemy servinâ time, they drew the line yâall
They criticize me for some crime
I got a letter, I got a letter, I got a letter
Picture me givenâ a damn, I said never
Mmm...mmm...mmm

Nevertheless they could not understand
That Iâm a black man, and I could never be a veteran.
On the strength of situations, Iâm real.
I got a raw deal, so Iâm lookinâ for the steel
Looking for the steel.
