- 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. [Verse 1]: Yeah It’s the contemporary form of slavery, they call it slave labour But they don’t prosecute them cuz it’s how they make paper When you rocking that fly shit that’s made in China By an eight year old child tryna feed his mama He exposed to contamination and disease 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 shitty 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 passes? Only the improved cleverness of slave masters. [Chorus]: 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 fell? 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 fell? 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. [Verse 2]: 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 fucking lie! It is illegal, unless it’s for conviction of a crime The main objective is to get you in your fucking prime. And keep the prison full and not give you a fucking 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 [Chorus]: 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 fell? 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 fell? 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.

Review about Shadow Business really good song | Reviewer: Martin | 9/24/09 hi, i really like this song, but it amkes me quite sad sometimes that this cruelty is known about and permitted. Could someone explain to me though what it means in the chorus when it says: "And the lies they devise in the system that fell?" thanks Dope | Reviewer: FewL One | 5/21/09 The harsh reality..."the flag doesn't fly there". We as a people need to stop being so materialistic and dependent on unnecessary goods that harm not only the environment, but other humans as well. Pretty sad how corporate America controls things while everyone is too busy trying to "look good" to notice. If we want a good future for our children...or in this case a future for our children, we need to put an end to these malicious actions by not giving in to the need to buy useless accessories. Remember we the people are the real power...only when we gather and work as a whole will we progress towards a better way of living. Watch your kids while they are in front of the television...Do you notice how many commercials they see a day? Do you ever wonder why they nag so much for little things, which parents usually give in to? These decision making processes will more than likely stay with them unless you teach them otherwise. Don't spend too much time blaming politicians for as you may notice all they do is argue on the same issues in the past which are still going on. They then blame the other political party when they were not successful. use logical reasoning, facts and maybe then if we are determined enough...we may actually start seeing a change in life =) America needs a slave labor force for the new world order? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/9/07 The stats Vinnie spits in this are all true accurate stats, and thats a scary thing. Every year Prison Factories generate over a billion dollars worth of power for private businesses.... Is it just me or is that a fucked up statistic.. Take jobs away from people who are starving out on the streets and give them to people who have no say in the matter and then pay them nothing for their labors, and get earn over a billion dollars wort of profit a year. Thats fucked up. Pesho | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/11/07 Hey can somebody tell me whats the spanish or chinese or else at the intro of the song, right before the "The factory are made of ahm.." Thanks! :) heart breaking | Reviewer: DJ:L | 8/29/07 i didn't know this was true until i researched it and it's cruel but i do think that the politicians can stop it but like it says in the song inside that factory the chine, and Chinese law is supreme Even though it's the United States of America? The flag doesn't fly inside there.se law applies fuck the u.s | Reviewer: adam | 7/19/07 fuck bush. fuck america. we have the power to change this. but because our fucking country is run by a bunch of conservative christians we dont want to change anything! this is the evil way to make money! fuck that! i wont stand for this shit. im proud to announce that im embarrassed to be called an american!
