Above The Law The O'Jays

[Chorus]
How much money would you give to live above the law?
How many souls would you sell to dwell above the law?
As long as it's working in your favor, you love the law
Making our lives a living hell, above the law

[Verse 1]
So now man with pen in his hands
Changes the lay and the law of the land
Abe helped out a bit, Martin did would he could
And it might've worked out but evil exists as well as good

[Pre-Chorus]
Reinvent slavery, erase the war on poverty
Separate primarily (By class)
(Stealthily, carefully)
Go on and ring that bell, an open market
Do the ones that work the most get to put any money in their pocket?

[Chorus]
How much money would you give to live above the law?
How many souls would you sell to dwell above the law?
As long as it's working in your favor, you love the law
Making our lives a living hell, above the law

[Verse 2]
So now you say we're all created equal
But a sound of the gavel tells quite another sequel
Black boy on drugs, imprisonment and a heavy fine
White boy on drugs, rehab and treatment to restore his mind
