When you over in American Samoa
What what surprised you the most
I guess what hit me the most is the condition of the factory that the workers were in
The factory was surrounded by a fence
And barbed wire on top and on the bottom
And they have a chain-linked fence surround the whole factory and
And dormitory compound
The gate has a has a guard shack where the guard sit there
And control the worker movement in and out of the of the factory
The factory are made of ahm
Tin panels with tin roof
It's really hot
The temperature over there is verily ninety degrees
And inside the factory or the dormitory
It reaches way over a hundred degrees
Yeah
It's the contemporary form of slavery they call it slave labour
But they don't prosecute them 'cause it's how they make paper
When you rocking that fly ****that's made in China
By an eight year old child tryna feed his mama
He exposed to contamination and diseas
And only fifty-five percent of them will get degrees
And the women have to try to placate the boss
Because it's sex discrimination in the labour force
The slave master only let them speak in sign language
And they're suffering from lung disease and eye damage
Fourteen hour shifts seven days a week
Two ****ty meals a day very little sleep
Human life only worth three cents an hour
All human right laws loose sense of power
What did four hundred years in the grave p***es
Only the improved cleverness of slave masters
Is life worth living if you living in hell
When the mind is confined to a prisoner's cell
And the lies they devise in the system that fail
But I expect the system to fail
Is life worth living if you living in hell
When the mind is confined to a prisoner's cell
And the lies they devise in the system that fail
But I expect the system to fail
Many Chinese workers are forced to sign secret agreements
Known as shadow contracts
Before they leave China severely and in some ways
Illegally restricting their activities while on American soil
Workers are forbidden to participate in any religious or political
Activity or to ask for a salary increase or even to fall in love or get married
It's one point six million people locked in jail
They do new slave labour force trapped in hell
They generate over a billion dollars worth to power
And only getting paid twenty cents an hour
They make cloths for McDonald's and for Apple Bee's
And working fourteen hour shifts in prison factories
And while we sit around debating who the wack emcee is
They have to work when arthritic pain attack the knees
Slavery is not illegal that's a ****ing lie
It is illegal unless it's for conviction of a crime
The main objective is to get you in your ****ing prime
And keep the prison full and not give you a ****ing dime
But they the real criminal keeping you confined
For a petty crime but they give you two-to-nine
And ain't nobody there to protect ya
Except a bunch of incompetent human rights inspectors
Is life worth living if you living in hell
When the mind is confined to a prisoner's cell
And the lies they devise in the system that fail
But I expect the system to fail
Is life worth living if you living in hell
When the mind is confined to a prisoner's cell
And the lies they devise in the system that fail
But I expect the system to fail
The sweatshop situation's kind of cohesive
And kind of take advantage on the people
That are poor and at an economic disadvantage
This Chinese woman made T-shirts and pants
At the factory until she became pregnant
When I told them I was pregnant
They told me to have an abortion
Tu Xiao Mei says she refused to have the abortion
And has now been barred from entering the factory
To allow them to bring that on to US soil is a very deep concern
We've now documented the facts that management
Coerces female workers who become pregnant into having abortions
But human rights workers say it's common practice
Inside that factory Chinese law applies and Chinese law is is supreme
Even though it's the United States of America
The flag doesn't fly inside there
