Paroles
«When you were over in American Samoa, what surprised you the most?»
«I guess what hit me the most was the condition of the factory that the workers
were in
The factory was surrounded by a fence and barbed wire on top, and on the bottom
And they have a chain linked fence around the whole factory, and military
compound
The gate has a guard shack where the guard sit there and control…
the worker movement
In and out of the factory, the factory made of tin panels, tin roof,
it’s really hot
The temperature over there is regularly ninety degrees, and inside the factory
It reach way over a hundred degrees»
Yeah, it’s a contemporary form of slavery, they call it slave labor
But they don’t prosecute them cause it’s how they make paper
When you rocking that fly shit that’s made in China
By an eight year old child trying to feed his mama
He exposed to contamination and disease
And only fifty-five percent of them will get degrees
And the women have to try to placate the boss
Because of sex discrimination in the labor force
The slave master only let them speak in sign language
And they suffering from lung disease and eye damage
Fourteen hour shifts, seven days a week
Two shitty meals a day, very little sleep
Human life only worth three cents an hour
All human rights lost, no sense of power
Working for a hundred years in the grave passes
Only the improved cleverness of slave masters
Is life worth living if you living in Hell?
When the mind is confined to a prisoner cell?
And the lies they devise and the system, it fail
But I expect the system to fail
Is life worth living if you living in Hell?
When the mind is confined to a prisoner cell?
And the lies they devise and the system, it fail
But I expect the system to fail
«Many Chinese workers are forced to sign secret agreements
Known as „Shadow contracts“ before they leave China
Severely, and in some ways, illegally restricting their activities while on
American soil
Workers are forbidden to participate in any religious or political
Activities
Or to ask for a salary increase, or even to fall in love or get married»
It’s 1.6 million people locked in jail
They the new slave labor force, trapped in Hell
They generate over a billion dollars worth of power
And only gettin' paid twenty cents an hour
They make clothes for McDonald’s and for Applebee’s
And working forty-hour shifts in prison factories
And while we sit around debating who the wack MC’s
They have to work when arthritic pain attack the knees
Slavery’s not illegal, that’s a fucking lie
It’s illegal, unless it’s for conviction of a crime
The main objective is to get you in your fucking prime
And keep the prison full and not give you a fucking dime
But they the real criminal, keeping you confined
For a petty crime, but they give you two-to-nine
And ain’t nobody there to protect ya
Except a bunch of incompetent human rights inspectors
«The sweatshop situation kind of conveys it and kind of take advantage of
The people that are poor and at an economic disadvantage»
«This Chinese woman made t-shirts and pants at the factory
Until she became pregnant … says she refused to have the abortion
And has now been barred from entering the factory»
«Allowing them to bring that onto US soil is a very big concern
We’ve now documented the fact that management coerces female workers
Who become pregnant into having abortions»
«Human rights workers say it’s common practice»
«Inside that factory, Chinese law applies, and Chinese law is supreme»
«Even though it’s the United States of America?»
«The flag doesn’t fly inside there»
Traduction des paroles
Sévèrement, et à certains égards, illégalement restreindre leurs activités pendant
Le sol américain
Il est interdit aux travailleurs de participer à des activités religieuses ou politiques
Activité
Ou pour demander une augmentation de salaire, ou même de tomber amoureux, se marier»
1,6 million de personnes sont enfermées en prison
Ils la nouvelle main-d'œuvre esclave, pris au piège en enfer
Ils génèrent plus d'un milliard de dollars de puissance
Et on ne paie que vingt cents de l'heure
Ils fabriquent des vêtements pour Mcdonald's et pour Applebee
Et travaillant des quarts de quarante heures dans les usines pénitentiaires
Et pendant que nous nous asseyons autour de débattre qui les wack MC s
Ils doivent travailler lorsque la douleur arthritique attaque les genoux
L'esclavage n'est pas illégal, c'est un putain de mensonge
C'est illégal, sauf si c'est pour condamnation d'un crime
L'objectif principal est de vous amener dans votre putain de premier
Et garder la prison pleine et ne pas vous donner un sou putain
Mais ils le vrai criminel, vous garder confiné
Pour un petit crime, mais ils vous donnent deux contre neuf
Et n'est-ce pas personne pour les protéger ya
Sauf une bande d'inspecteurs incompétents des droits de l'homme
«La situation de sweatshop le transmet et en profite
Les personnes pauvres et défavorisées sur le plan économique»
"Cette femme chinoise a fait des T-shirts et des pantalons à l'usine
Jusqu'à ce qu'elle tombe enceinte ... elle dit qu'elle a refusé d'avorter
Et a maintenant été interdit d'entrer dans l'usine»
"Leur permettre d'apporter cela sur le sol américain est une très grande préoccupation
Nous avons maintenant documenté le fait que la direction contraint les travailleuses
Qui tombent enceintes en ayant des avortements»
"Les travailleurs des droits de l'homme disent que c'est une pratique courante»
"A l'intérieur de cette usine, la loi chinoise s'applique, et la loi chinoise est suprême»
"Même si ce sont les États-Unis d'Amérique?»
«Le drapeau de ne pas voler à l'intérieur»
