Geto Boys lyrics went far beyond the realm of shock value, with many of their raps dealing explicitly with politics and systematic oppression. "F**k a War" screeches with Public Enemy-style samples while Bushwick Bill spits all the reasons he'll never fight for Uncle Sam to a military recruiter. "Free," from 1998, is more melancholy, with Scarface and Willie D criticizing the American Dream as they recall the poverty of their childhood.
