Legal Property

[Verse 1] I was the cargo of a ship, Born without a name, Fabricated to life, As the sea man proclaim, Floating in my vessel, The ports open to me, Delivered yes I was, but I wasn't free. [Verse 2] The Dock master cut me cord, Tying me to the ship, The informants signed me up, and I was in the dip, Lost at sea that I am, I will return one day, Coming back from the dead, That's what they'd say. [Chorus] I'm a man of the land Not cargo of the sea, Lawful is my nature, Not legal property, I am not a corporation, I have my own liberty, Not bonded to your service, I can finally be free. [Verse 3] The letters are all capital, What have they done to it, Stole my name of honor, Don't they ever quit, Made me dead in the water, Out into the current sea, Watched by one eye, I became a nobody. [Verse 4] Anywhere that I went, A ship was there, Floating on land, Since when is that fair, I joined the ship, And went to school, But what did I even learn That the world is so cruel. [Chorus] I'm a man of the land, Not cargo of the sea, Lawful is my nature, Not legal property, I am not a corporation, I have my own liberty, Not bonded to your service, I can finally be free. [Verse 5] After getting out of school. They expect me to pay tax, When they steal all my money, And leave a monster in their tracks, They make up all the rules, And give me all the fines, Shipping all my packages, As my happiness declines. [Verse 6] You mind control the people, With what's being said, I'm not one of those, With air in their head, You expect me to buy a house, That I don't even own, Then you tell me to put a sail on it, And give me a loan. [Chorus] I'm a man of the land, Not cargo of the sea, Lawful is my nature, Not legal property, I am not a corporation, I have my own liberty, Not bonded to your service, I can finally be free. [Verse 7] I see what your doing, Pretending your not there, Running things from the shadows, Hiding in your lair, Well I'm not just your fiction, My body is a fact, You don't have any claim on it, And my statement is backed. [Verse 8] I'm the owner of the crown, an equal Sovereign, Not held down by your shackles, You forgotten Foreign, I'm not owned by your trust, Nor debted to you for life, I don't need the credit, Nor your slaved strife. [Chorus] I'm a man of the land, Not cargo of the sea, Lawful is my nature, Not legal property, I am not a corporation, I have my own liberty, Not bonded to your service, I can finally be free. [Bridge] You tried to kill me, Yet here I am, Now I'm going to show the world, All your scams, Down in deep water, I will not drown, And I'll show the world, That you're a clown. [Chorus] I'm a man of the land, Not cargo of the sea, Lawful is my nature, Not legal property, I am not a corporation, I have my own liberty, Not bonded to your service, I can finally be free. [Outro — music trails off] I'm a man of the land... Not cargo of the sea... Lawful is my nature... Not legal property... I am not a corporation... I have my own liberty... Not bonded to your service... I can finally be free... [End]
