and that's
my motherfucking life.

1:24:11
# You can't do #
1:24:13
# No, you just can't do. #
1:24:19
# In jail you subjected
to be neglected #

1:24:21
# Subjected to write #
1:24:22
# In order to speak to your family
on the other side #

1:24:24
# Locked up here
and your baby die #

1:24:26
# No soul's going to hear your cry,
forever dwell in the cell #

1:24:29
# It's 2002 and they still able
to keep slavery alive and well #

1:24:32
# Everything that used to happen
still happens #

1:24:34
# Can't you tell?
Heaven and hell #

1:24:36
# Who did I fail?
God didn't make no jails #

1:24:38
# He created life,
what part of the game is this? #

1:24:40
# When the system's set up
to have our dead ancestors #

1:24:43
# Flip out their graves
returning to physical #

1:24:45
# Our babies having their soul
and their ways #

1:24:47
# The pain never goes away #
1:24:48
# Whether it's happening now
or back in the day #

1:24:50
# The shackles still remain,
and money's the root of all evil #

1:24:53
# With dough you could bleed too,
got moolah? People need you #

1:24:56
# Dead presidents feed you #
1:24:57
# Seem like with cash,
everybody want to be you #

1:25:00
# They stretch you out,
you're in, then the game begins #

1:25:03
# First time,
I was losing my mind #

1:25:05
# They stretch you out,
you're in, then the game begins #

1:25:08
# Second time,
evidence wasn't mine #

1:25:10
# They stretch you out,
you're in, then the game begins #

1:25:13
# Third time,
confined and doing hard time #

1:25:16
# They stretch you out, you're in,
then the g-g-g-game begins #

1:25:19
# You're black, it was in Watts
with them let me out the joint #

1:25:22
# 'Cause they fail to realize
I'm not on point #

1:25:25
# I just might flip... -
1:25:27
# The judge said seven years time
to pay for the crime #

1:25:31
# Did dirt on the street,
had to take the heat #

1:25:34
# But this incarceration
is exploitation #

1:25:38
# Brutality is the sentence #
1:25:41
# Working under the whip,
rape on a whim #

1:25:44
# No reason for open season
on women behind bars #

1:25:48
# Critical resistance #
1:25:50
# Petitions for respect denied #
1:25:52
# Forced a violent decision #
1:25:55
# Whoever heard of women
taking over a prison? #
