Jail
I miss my incarcerations
out there I'm anonymous
another a blackface
in a white crowd
a double felon
on borrowed time
been in the rathouse
for six months
couped up like a chicken
no dignity
no privacy
no justice
in some ways, it's home
familiar surroundings
bars you can not get a wild turkey in
not even before closing time
circumstantial evidence shows
a life sentence with no life
no plea bargain
it looks grim
odds..........s

No Bars Will Hold Me
We is microwaved daily
By lizard aliens fuckin scaly
It's scary
It's hairy
It's a shakedown
A takedown
Fo shoo
Glued become unglued
Creation of hedonism
Is an Armagedonism
End times approaching
It doesn't need coaching
As globalisation
Leads to mass manipulation
No more nations
Required associations
The antichrist is on the throne
Slaughter all just blood and bone
Brainwashing on your I-phone
In god we do trust
Salvation robust
I pray from my jail cell
Please Lord, save me from hell ...

Them
Them walls is black
them keeping us back
them bars is white
them let in no light
them leg irons is rusty
prison duds crusty
them meals will not fill us
them guards simply kill us
them cops frame us up
them judges is corrupt
them sentences longer
them punishments stronger
I wakes again in jail
them keeping us back
them bars is white
them let in no light
them leg irons is rusty
prison duds crusty
them meals will not fill us
them guards simply kill us
them cops frame us up
them judges is corrupt
them sentences longer
them punishments stronger
I wakes again in jail

Pops
Rest in pieces my father
We have nothing to say
These thirty years
Nothing to say even now
Me father used to say
“Spare de rod and spoil de child”
Her reads from the big black book
Visiting hell down on me back
The switch it crack
He say for every sin
The switch has an answer
For every sin it cracks
It cracks, I say fuck
For that it cracks again
Me father brutal
More brutal when full of de rum
Me father loses count
Memory misty on alcohol
In me head I say
The day is coming
Me...

Yo Mama Knows Best
be polite when you request
always be smartly dressed
never let stress get you distressed
always remember yo mama knows best
crisp and juicy leg or breast
she done told me breast is best
quay lime pie with extra zest
always remember yo mama knows best
eat too fast you indigest
don't be a hater, don't detest
always be at her behest
always remember yo mama knows best
respect all women, don't molest
fight for your rights, nonviolent protest
loving Jesus should be your quest
always remember yo mama knows...

The Life
a prison harmonica plays the blues
chewing tobacco he chews
etched on skin prison tattoos
in with ma Bloods my ink accused
victims get abused and used
often get bruised and accused
I am a purp who's amused
the mark is defused
comps are taken
the weak are shakin
make no mistakin
yo ma bitch
don't be bitchin
dare not snitch
wounds need stitchin
dead in a ditch
bleeding
its the meth you misuse
topped up with the booze
It's a life that you choose
so you choose and you lose
your...

Prison Song
the bars are not set firm
although they are of fired steel
risin and fallin, infirm
expandin and contractin
like actions reactin
like Gods breath of life
moving in time with rib cage
there is no time like prison time
where the few freedoms by the man granted
are bleached away with a single flush
a disinfected pine smelling gush
the mark of a man tattooed
man forced on man like bitches
rules apply snitches get stitches
shanks approved
the singin stoollie's song
is not prevented by bars
but...

Royalty
The King say I am like no other
He say I am not your brother
He say he don't like my mother
He say I want your sister
As a whore I think I've kissed her
He say I killed your father
He also kill my uncle
He say he will make a slave of my mother
He will rape my sister and my cousin
He say he will kill and torture me
But then he say he is the King
He say I am not your brother
He say he don't like my mother
He say I want your sister
As a whore I think I've kissed her
He say I killed your father
He also kill my uncle
He say he will make a slave of my mother
He will rape my sister and my cousin
He say he will kill and torture me
But then he say he is the King

Barnyard Life
the rooster scratches
puffs out his chest
struts his stuff
shrills defiantly
base not baritone
proud as a peacock
he scans his ladies
he's a looker
not a toucher
that is to his credit
The Hen is the heavier
featherweight v.s heavyweight
outcome always same
the cock gets strangled
this is how it was
with Mama and pappy
puffs out his chest
struts his stuff
shrills defiantly
base not baritone
proud as a peacock
he scans his ladies
he's a looker
not a toucher
that is to his credit
The Hen is the heavier
featherweight v.s heavyweight
outcome always same
the cock gets strangled
this is how it was
with Mama and pappy
