I got a letter from the government
The other day
I opened
and read it
It said they were suckers
They wanted me for their army or
whatever
Picture me given' a damn - I said never
Here is a land that never gave a
damn
About a brother like me and myself
Because they never did
I wasn't wit' it, but
just that very minute...
It occured to me
The suckers had authority
Cold sweatin' as
I dwell in my cell
How long has it been?
They got me sittin' in the state pen
I gotta
get out - but that thought was thought before
I contemplated a plan on the cell floor
I'm
not a fugitive on the run
But a brother like me begun - to be another one
Public enemy
servin' time - they drew the line y'all
To criticize me some crime - never the less
They
could not understand that I'm a Black man
And I could never be a veteran
On the strength,
the situation's unreal
I got a raw deal, so I'm goin' for the steel
They got me
rottin' in the time that I'm servin'
Tellin' you what happened the same time they're
throwin'
4 of us packed in a cell like slaves - oh well
The same motherfucker got us
livin' is his hell
You have to realize - what its a form of slavery
Organized under a
swarm of devils
Straight up - word'em up on the level
The reasons are several, most of
them federal
Here is my plan anyway and I say
I got gusto, but only some I can trust -
yo
Some do a bid from 1 to 10
And I never did, and plus I never been
I'm on a tier
where no tears should ever fall
Cell block and locked - I never clock it y'all
'Cause time
and time again time
They got me servin' to those and to them
I'm not a citizen
But
ever when I catch a C-O
Sleepin' on the job - my plan is on go-ahead
On the strength, I'ma
tell you the deal
I got nothin' to lose
'Cause I'm goin' for the steel
You know
I caught a C-O
Fallin' asleep on death row
I grabbed his gun - then he did what I said
so
And everyman's got served
Along with the time they served
Decency was
deserved
To understand my demands
I gave a warnin' - I wanted the governor, y'all
And
plus the warden to know
That I was innocent -
Because I'm militant
Posing a threat,
you bet it's fuckin' up the government
My plan said I had to get out and break north
Just
like with Oliver's neck
I had to get off - my boys had the feds in check
They couldn't do
nuthin'
We had a force to instigate a prison riot
This is what it takes for peace
So
I just took the piece
Black for Black inside time to cut the leash
Freedom to get out - to
the ghetto - no sell out
6 C-Os we got we ought to put their head out
But I'll give 'em a
chance, cause I'm civilized
As for the rest of the world, they can't realize
A cell is
hell - I'm a rebel so I rebel
Between bars, got me thinkin' like an animal
Got a woman C-O
to call me a copter
She tried to get away, and I popped her
Twice, right
Now who
wanna get nice?
I had 6 C-Os, now it's 5 to go
And I'm serious - call me
delirious
But I'm still a captive
I gotta rap this
Time to break as time grows
intense
I got the steel in my right hand
Now I'm lookin' for the fence
I
ventured into the courtyard
Followed by 52 brothers
Bruised, battered, and scarred but
hard
Goin' out with a bang
Ready to bang out
But power from the sky
And from the
tower shots rang out
A high number of dose - yes
And some came close
Figure I trigger
my steel
Stand and hold my post
This is what I mean - an anti-nigger machine
If I
come out alive and then they won't - come clean
And then I threw up my steel bullets - flew
up
Blew up, who shot...
What, who, the bazooka was who
And to my rescue, it was the
S1Ws
Secured my getaway, so I just gotaway
The joint broke, from the black smoke
Then
they saw it was rougher thatn the average bluffer
'Cause the steel was black, the attitude
exact
Now the chase is on tellin' you to c'mon
53 brothers on the run, and we are gone | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
