Prison Song

They're tryna build a prison

They're tryna build a prison

Following the rights movements, you clamped down with your iron fists

Drugs became conveniently available for all the kids

Following the rights movements, you clamped down with your iron fists

Drugs became conveniently available for all the kids

I buy my crack, my smack, my bitch

Right here in Hollywood

Nearly two million Americans are incarcerated

In the prison system, prison system of the U.S

They're tryna build a prison

They're tryna build a prison

They're tryna build a prison

They're tryna build a prison

For you and me to live in

Another prison system

Another prison system

Another prison system

For you and me

Minor drug offenders fill your prisons, you don't even flinch

All our taxes paying for your wars against the new non-rich

Minor drug offenders fill your prisons, you don't even flinch

All our taxes paying for your wars against the new non-rich

I buy my crack, my smack, my bitch

Right here in Hollywood

The percentage of Americans in the prison system

Prison system has doubled since 1985

They're tryna build a prison

They're tryna build a prison

They're tryna build a prison

They're tryna build a prison

For you and me to live in

Another prison system

Another prison system

Another prison system

For you and me

For you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I

They're tryna build a prison

They're tryna build a prison

They're tryna build a prison for you and me

Oh, baby, you and me

All research and successful drug policy

Shows that treatment should be increased

And law enforcement decreased

While abolishing mandatory minimum sentences

All research and successful drug policy

Shows that treatment should be increased

And law enforcement decreased

While abolishing mandatory minimum sentences

Utilizing drugs to pay for secret wars around the world

Drugs are now your global policy, now you police the globe

I buy my crack, my smack, my bitch

Right here in Hollywood

Drug money is used to rig elections and train brutal

Corporate-sponsored dictators around the world

They're tryna build a prison

They're tryna build a prison

They're tryna build a prison

They're tryna build a prison

For you and me to live in

Another prison system

Another prison system

Another prison system

For you and me

For you and I, you and I, you and I, you and me

They're tryna build a prison

They're tryna build a prison

They're tryna build a prison for you and me

Oh, baby, you and me
