    A friend of mine teaches English as a foreign language (I'm from Germany) and he used this song as material for his 10th graders to analyse. The music video is a masterpiece and so are the lyrics. Rap is IMO by far one the most interesting, significant modern/contemporary English literary traditions.

And because of they do not want us included, we are all criminals and get punishment harder every time. Harder Medication then. Then harder judgement. Then harder medics again and then something like the Biker-Gangs, the Native-Gangs, the Street-Gangs and those cartellas like ISIS rise up big. More suffering, more medication again.
