I’m in a prison that’s about two hundred years old All bones No soul No wonder why this place is so cool
No hope in this place only despair Releases from here is rare This air is stale The tension is thick NO Shank I move with a black fist held high Black pride
Even though in his prison I might die I’ve been denied my rights By a stenographer who was white The prosecutor is related to her He whispered in her ear Nepotism put me in here They did it with no regard for the law
My only recourse I wrote to the court But, no one’s listening to them I’m just Nigga In prison
Deadlocked jury Judge stole my glory Called juror number nine into his chambers this is the new way that they hang us this system is dangerous
In this prison so many Who are actually innocent The judge gave them a sentence That they would never finish Same judge give me 130 years That’s when my soul disappeared I’m still here Just a shell — Oh well What the fuck– what the hell I’ma fight Till they get it right No justice, no peace black lives matter Motha fucka
