[Fela Kuti]
11
When you're king of African music you're the King, because music is the king of all professions
12
N.U. Music
13
[Verse 1]
14
Best laid plan make a mess made
15
Damnation, let's play hands, sans spades
16
That's without, a boycott and a sit-out
17
Afro-Black pick in with a fist out
18
From the "welcome home" to the kick out
19
Reach into a rabbit, pull a trick out
20
Preacher preaching to a faggot with his dick out
21
Hard times call for armed time
22
Sick, sick, sick eyes from the nose pressure
23
Police snip, zip ties on the protesters
24
Six wives in the fry of a molester
25
Met him at a caviar bar out in Odessa
26
Dirty needles breaking all the old records
27
A hundred hoes, one shovel and some old treasure
28
Ole Zeke use teeth as a gold tester
29
Finger rolls, finger waves, closet full of old leathers
30
Old sweaters, old boots, that's a whole suit for some cold weather
31
New sale, two L's and some old letters
32
Now he doing double life, while she lead a double life
33
Man, he need another wife
34
New approach might help a nigga bowl better
35
New hoes might help a nigga hold together
36
Or will the new lane lead em' to the same pen
37
And the hunger strike in em' to the same tin
38
[Hook 1]
39
Love is Looking Over Various Errors
40
And Hate is Habitually Accelerating Terror
41
Everywhere but the mural
42
I just wanna be collected when I call god damn
43
I don't wanna be accepted; not as all as I am
44
Visitor, visitor, prisoner, prisoner, land
45
[Verse 2]
46
Getting slammed from the protest, no food
47
Force fed him like OB with a nose tube
48
Visions say consult the yogi with the gold shoes
49
With the Rollie going bowling for the old school
50
I need more for the Michaels
51
That's a loss for the class, and a score for the rifles
52
Three hots and a cot, and some cops
53
Trying to find dinosaurs in the Bible
54
It's all quiet in the jail-house
55
Then they ride in to find the empty cells out
56
They was looking for the swords, they was looking for the swords
57
I'm just looking at they feet, cause I'm looking for the lord
58
Looking in the library, looking at the law
59
10 years deep, now I'm looking at the bar
60
Claim sovereignty, because I'm bunkin' with the moors
61
They degenerate, they ain't looking at the game
62
They just looking at the scores, they be putting on my books
63
Cause I'm looking at the stars, trade a shank for some crank
64
Now I'm looking at a war, BGF got the yard
65
AB got the kitchen, snitches on PC
66
MM on a mission, but CO's got the prison
67
God got us all, God set us free
68
God is the key, but the guards got the doors
69
[Hook]
70
[Verse 3]
71
Punching on the glass
72
Scared that some killer might fuck him in the ass
73
Staff getting rigid, wasn't gonna take away the visits
74
Segregate niggas by theyself and make 'em stay with it
75
Wicked, swung the shank around on a mop string
76
They had to pull him out the cell with a SWAT Team
77
That's a cop team, they sent hella cops, to stop, the helicoptering
78
Man, he thought that he'd fly away, like a kite, take flight
79
Like a letter on a string, like propellers on a wing
80
But the kite was the key
81
They made electric chairs for his dying days
82
Last meals, no appeals for him to try and stay
83
On Death Row like Suge and the late Pac
84
Maybe he could dig a tunnel out of A Block
85
And wear gloves for the razor-wired gate top
86
Scared thugs going crazy in a caged box
87
Looking at the world through the TV
88
And they gone, rapping over beats from the tabletops
89
Ay! That's how it is in a police state
90
When your life is just a number and release date
91
When you're rehabilitated so correctly
92
And let's hope that's how you're living when you're set free
93

[Bridge: Ayesha Jaco]
104
The orange wings of the new Jim Crow are dyed Klansman sheets and court papers, Dreadlocks nooses hang from his neck as the new Jim Crow Corporations feed him seeds, yet unborn
105
He'll be captured by Mya, in a ruby-encrusted cage
106
I see the light at the end of the tunnel, and answers that I leave in empty pages to be written. Where is your pen? The new Jim Crow
107
[Verse 1]
108
They sell they souls, they sell their selves
109
They ain't twelve, they old, niggas old as hell
110
Old as jail, old as cells
111
Sold so much salt, ain't no more salt on the shelves
112
You a prisoner too, you living here too
113
You just like us, til' your shift get through
114
You could look like us, you know shit get through
115
You should be in cuffs like us, you should get strike 2
116
You should get like life, you should get like woo!
117
You should get that twice! You should get refused
118
The open road, that's no parole, and no control
119
Over your own soul, so control, your own remote control, that your folks can hold
120
[Hook] x2
121
You better watch these niggas (en garde)
122
If it was up to me, I would never unlock these niggas
123
Wouldn't rehabilitate, man, I would just box these niggas and throw away the key
124
I'd throw away the key like the coast guard watching me
125
I'd throw away the keys
126
I'd throw away the keys, I'd throw away the keys
127
Better watch these niggas (en garde)
128
[Verse 2]
129
5th year with the DOC
130
You can see what's CO see
131
Robocop opt his COP
132
3 hots and a C-O-T
133
Lived in a small town, his whole life
134
Never left, soundin' like the hole, right?
135
Either working at the prison, or it's no lights
136
In the system working with the po-lice
137
In the prison stripping niggas phone rights
138
Got a malice, on the other side of the bars
139
Watching niggas get smart, watching niggas get strong
140
Watching niggas get home, he jail us
141
But deep down he jealous
142
With each sweep down, he tell us
143
With each beat down, he help us
144
Wrong one gon' knock his ass out though
145
It's why he gotta lock all the niggas out for
146
Warden told the boy he better calm down
147
Step back from the brink and put the bomb down
148
But how the whole world in your palm sound?
149
It's why they treat niggas like shit
150
Writing raps to the taps
151
Keep the face mask on 'em these niggas might spit!
152
