I am a prisoner
I was defiled
By the flow of the street.
Lost
But found by the rhythms
Of the puffs I sniff.
No free education
Hooliganism is a craft to learn too.
Soon, cuffed by the trade of picks and pluck
I was defiled
By the flow of the street.
Lost
But found by the rhythms
Of the puffs I sniff.
No free education
Hooliganism is a craft to learn too.
Soon, cuffed by the trade of picks and pluck
A mastery at out-smarting.
I started breaking bottles
To hit the pages of the dailies.
Machete raising-
Gun TOTING-
Man slaughtering.
They forgot me on the street of hustle
But needed my strength with fights to bustle.
We both were avarice.
I killed them, he ordered me to
Steal their ballots too
Not for money, a better future for all.
He failed!
I smoked Indiana
To shake away my pain
Yet, my puffs still have the blood in its veins.
I butchered him
Plucked his heart.
Arrested!
Judged by the same men
That begged for a deal.
Jailed! For life!
Pathetic Law enforcers!
I am a prisoner now.
But I wonder who
Shall jail them.
Those who took our future
And drank it like a wine
Into their bellies of greed.
I am a prisoner
What say I've I owned?
