Master - Beaten for the Possibility Lyrics

At crossroads I made some mistakes,
decisions were all made in vain
Fighting for justice and change,
everything remained the same
Faces had all sympathized,
they wanted me dead or alive
Then I just simply escaped,
eluded all with my own fate

Discouraged with false hopes,
caught in the crossfire of insecurity
Encouraged to revolt,
held down beaten for the possibility

Behind the bars I was chained,
it's the American Way...
Guilty of sins I was charged,
prejudged was feathered and tarred
With only moments to spare,
a miracle that I was cleared
Another culprit confessed,
the last seven years I had wept
