- When you in American Samoa, what...what surprised you the most?
- I what hit me the most is the condition of the factory that the workers were in:
The was surrounded by a fence and barbed wire on top and on the bottom. And they have a chain-linked fence surround the whole factory and, and dormitory compound. The gate has a...has a guard shack, where the guard sit there and control the worker movement in and out of the.. of the factory

It's the contemporary form of slavery, they it slave labour
But they don't prosecute 'cause it's how they make paper
When you rocking that fly that's made in China
By an eight old child tryna feed his mama
He exposed to and disease
And only fifty-five percent of them get degrees
And the women have to try to placate the
Because it's sex discrimination in the force
The master only let them speak in sign language
And they're suffering from lung disease and eye
fourteen shifts, seven days a week
two shitty a day, very little sleep
Human life only worth cents an hour
All human right laws sense of power
What did four hundred in the grave passes?
the improved cleverness of slave masters.

Is life worth if you living in hell?
the mind is confined to a prisoner's cell?

And the lies they devise in the system that
But I expect the to fail!

It's one point six million locked in jail
They do new slave labour trapped in hell
They generate over a billion dollars worth to
And only getting paid cents an hour
make cloths for McDonald's and for Apple Bee's
And working hour shifts in prison factories
And we sit around debating who the wack emcee is
They have to work when arthritic pain the knees
is not illegal, that's a fucking lie!
It is illegal, it's for conviction of a crime
The main objective is to get you in your prime.
And keep the prison full and not give you a dime
But they the real criminal you confined
For a petty crime but they you two-to-nine
And ain't nobody there to ya
Except a bunch of incompetent rights inspectors

Is worth living if you living in hell?
the mind is confined to a prisoner's cell?
And the lies devise in the system that fail
But I the system to fail!
Is life worth living if you in hell?
When the mind is confined to a prisoner's
And the lies devise in the system that fail
But I the system to fail!
