Ain't Right to Beg

[Verse 1] I was born with a right, that’s what they said, Passed down from the ink where the forefathers bled. But now I gotta pay, just to carry my name, Feels like freedom’s for sale, and it’s a crying shame. [Chorus] It ain’t right to beg for what’s already mine, To stand in a line, to pay for the time. A right ain’t a privilege, no fee to hold tight, But they’re making a buck off what’s in plain sight. [Verse 2] The law’s been written, it’s carved in stone, But they act like it’s theirs, not ours to own. Permits and papers, they stack ‘em high, While liberty waits and watches the sky. [Chorus] It ain’t right to beg for what’s already mine, To stand in a line, to pay for the time. A right ain’t a privilege, no fee to hold tight, But they’re making a buck off what’s in plain sight. [Bridge] We hold these truths, self-evident and clear, But somehow they twist ‘em, year after year. A scheme in their pocket, our rights in their hands, It’s time we remind ‘em where we stand. [Verse 3] They say it’s for safety, they say it’s for peace, But liberty sold ain’t a gain, it’s a lease. No price on freedom, no chains on my soul, The Second ain’t a favor, it’s a God-given goal.
