I know I have never been able
To walk alone on my own two feet
And that's why I have never been stable
Enough to defy what was written on the sheet
But I live while others are dying
Alone in a cell, shackles on their feet
It ain't right to wake up every morning
A stranger at home in the land of the free
Let them be (Beggin please)
On my knees (Set them free)
We don't need another detention
Can't you see it's a matter of intention
That's why Arpaio can tell you
That you don't belong in your own backyard
By and by, nobody will fool you
With another distraction to keep your eyes on the stars
Let them be (Beggin please)
On my knees (Set them free)
We don't need another detention
Can't you see it's a matter of oppression
Yeah yeah yeah all the time we've been strangers at home
Tell me why have we been killing our own
We been killing our own
Let them be (Beggin please)
On my knees (Set them free)
Talkin' bout let me be (Beggin please)
On my knees (Don't take me)
Set them free (You better)
Let them be (You gotta)
Set them free (We gotta)
Let them be (We better better)
