For My Bro in PRISON
Instead of being bought and sold
Your being moved like precious cargo...
From prison to prison,
Wall behind wall,
Families left torn.
How many years will they take away from you?
Try to use those same years to break you.
Down into a better criminal...
Train you...
Just to catch you and put you where you just left
This time...
Your stay is longer.
Your sentence is much stronger...
That is the way the “system” operates,
How the hell is that a way to rehabilitate?
They just want to humiliate,
Eradicate your pride.
Put you in a place where you have to hide.
Be yourself and you will die.
