Yo
Want to talk about numbers
I served the numerals (me)
I've seen the funerals
Locked up and seen a room
Full of institutional
Convicted juveniles
Anybody saying death is beautiful
Never wanted to protect the youthful
That blood on your hand aint refutable
Try to cover it go get the luminal
Look
No charge as usual
No guard as usual
No tape to investigate
The death of inmates
So its not disputable
That's not excusable
Lowlifes that's not presumable
It's our lives that's not confusable
Its our rights that's constitutional
Look
I remember the days
Of getting led to a cage
And all the venomous ways
I got a pen and a page
I wrote a letter and they said
They wouldn't send it away
Got us working getting
10% a minimum wage
Got a temper and they said
I got a bit of a rage
When a dog in a pack
Went a bit of a stray
Don't want to get in his way
But it's poison that you gave him
When you fed him his plate
Look
Ya We made some mistakes
But we raising the steaks
How it feel getting tazed in the face
White guard gettin' praise cause he's racist
White judge get the case and erase it
No chance to press for litigation
No chance the press to hear the cases
Just unknown death
And swept it in the basement
Where the person is justice
Might as well have been dead when they cuffed us
Rehabilitation just fucked us
Overcrowded in cages in clusters
Now they say you can trust us
Gettin' paid to inflate the injustice
Front page would it say found dead in a cage
August 10th that's prisoners justice
Why you're keeping me locked up
I don't know
But I've waited forever
For my collect calls
And I promised I'd be there
For someone very special
I'm Afraid of being forgotten
On the inside
And I've waited forever
6 months in segregation
All loss of concentration
And the docs evaluation
Is to start the allegations
Overcrowded populations
Just hit the government for compensation
Inmates just use for observation
Malnourished and consumed to isolation
Now they put us in the yard
And The guards throw knives thru the bars
Only way that we leaving is with a scar
And we threw them right back to the guards
That's honor amongst thieves
For all of my young G's
Consequences all of our lungs bleed
Cause we still getting killed
From all of the drugs seized
Look
I Remember the days
I catch a federal cases
Getting led through a maze
They never fed him for a days
And now his vision gettin' blurry
In your head it was Haze
And no matter your solidarity
Your Mentally phased
And then your head gettin' caved
Its a federal fade
In a cinderblock tomb
Or Cement in a cave
And how you Treat an old dog
When he set in his ways
And now it's freedom he craves
Look
Look
Code red turns to code blue
But
18 was a known youth
Killed himself with the cord
From the phone booth
Asked for help
There was nothing that you're gone do
Man
No report there was no proof
And Cell cleaned there was no noose
C.O. was a known goof
And there was still no trace
Of his lace from his old shoes
Why you're keeping me locked up
I don't know
But I've waited forever
For my collect calls
And I promised I'd be there
For someone very special
I'm Afraid of being forgotten
On the inside
And I've waited forever
Why you're keeping me locked up
I don't know
But I've waited forever
For my collect calls
And I promised I'd be there
For someone very special
I'm Afraid of being forgotten
On the inside
And I've waited forever
