Get In The Way Lyrics - Trees

A voice of reason in all this insanity 

So the lock him yeah they lock him up 

In maximum security 

They lock him up to shut him up 

Found guilty in Philly for shooting a cop 

Evidence of innocence but charges don't drop 

No matter what's right or wrong 

They've been after him for too damn wrong 

YOU GET IN THE WAY YOU GET WASTED 

IF YOU GET IN THE WAY 

A Black Panther at the age of fifteen 

Born to rage against the racist machine 

Laying down the facts what it's like to be black 

Not treated like a human being 

A love for life is something that he proved 

Wrote about John Africa 

He wrote about Move 

Wrote about the Philly cops 

And the bomb they dropped 

Burned down a city block 

YOU GET IN THE WAY YOU GET WASTED 

IF YOU GET IN THE WAY 

You can cage my body but my spirit flies free 

Your bars made of steel can not hold what feel 

Living in this country well I've got pray 

Because they crucify a Christ every single day 

Sabo let the heads roll 

Death row what a brother know 

So quick to execute before they give a new trial 

That's capitol punishment American style 

They've done it once they'll do it again 

They'll execute an innocent man
