For America I went to VietnamAgent Orange has a hold on me still
Freedom movement made me an organizer
While I was studyin' on the GI bill
Luck of the leader is to be locked up25 years, counting eight in the hole
I am not famous, I'm not MandelaBut I am imprisoned in a jail
My name is Geronimo ji Jaga, And my soul is not for sale
Computer programmer was my occupation
I heard about civil rights down in the SouthI could not keep my mind on my program
I had to use my heart and my mouth
I lived in Harlem, I was Black PantherI looked for answers for my people
I am not famous, I'm not MandelaBut I am imprisoned in a jail
My name is Sundiata AcoliAnd my soul is not for saleCho:
Down at the market, no one talks about it
On the TV you won't see this tale, but
If you can see me, then they must free me
So won't you please lift up the veil
They call me terrorist for conspiring
Against the government and companies
Who strip mine pollute and destroy
In Puerto Rico they do as they please
They like to talk about freedom fighters
But not in their own back yard
They took my sister and me, we're doin' 83
And there will be no bail
My name is Ida Luz RodriguezAnd my country's not for sale.
Driving cab is a good way to pay the rent
For a journalist who tells the truth
They been after me since I been after them
No I did not waste my youth
In Philadelphia, police won't help ya
Except to beat you to the punch
They beat my brother, there was another
Shot the policeman, but I'm doin' the time
My name is Mumia Abu-JamalAnd the system is the crimeChorus
Once proud nations reduced to reservations
Government goons come to terrorize
We had a duty to defend our family
From corruption, guns and lies
The FBI came, they played that old game
Divide and conquer to maintain their power
I am not famous, I'm not MandelaBut I am imprisoned in a jail
My name is Leonard, Leonard PeltierAnd this land is not for sale
Chorus
