Lucky Dube - Prisoner lyrics

Artist: Lucky Dube

album: Serious Reggae Business


Somebody told me about it
When I was still a little boy
He said to me, "Crime does not pay"
♪
He said to me, "Education is the key," yeah

As a little boy
I thought I know what I was doing, yeah man
But today, here I am in chains
I'm a prisoner (prisoner)
I am a prisoner (prisoner)
I am a prisoner (prisoner)
♪
I looked all around me but to see nothing
But four grey walls staring at me
The policeman said to me, "Son"
"They won't build no schools anymore"
"All they'll build will be prison, prison"
They won't build no schools anymore
All they'll build will be prison, prison
They won't build no schools anymore
All they'll build will be prison, prison
'Cause today, yeah
I am a prisoner (prisoner)
I am a prisoner (prisoner)
Dear Lord
I'm a prisoner (prisoner)
Dear Lord
♪
I asked the policeman and said:
"How much must I pay for my freedom?"
He said to me, "Son"
"They won't build no schools anymore"
"They won't build no hospitals"
