Prison Systems - Deniro Farrar

Slave to our tables, no, we don’t know why

Yeah we’re listing to the devil, no, we don’t know why

Oh naw, another prison system, no, we don’t know why, yeah

For you and me to live in, no, we don’t know why, mhm

Woo, yeah, no, we don’t know why

Woo, yeah, no, we don’t know why

Woo, yeah, no, we don’t know why

Woo, yeah, no, we don’t know why

Sitting in the courtroom, tune on the stand

Hoping that his story get believed by a man

Took his life from him he didn’t even understand

Victim of they system it was all in they plans

Police under oath but be lying on the stand

Say he shot him down seen a gun in his hand

Tell me how a cell phone look like a pistol

Swept under the rug as a up resolved issue

His momma wanting justice but she still gon' miss him

Wishing she can have him back just so she can kiss him

Federal conviction rate 98%

Meaning they can take your life with none of the evidence

If the state give you life boy you gotta do all that

Praying for appeal now you hoping you crawl back

Lynching with no rope, nigga, that’s what you call that

Our prisons obsolete, I just want to ask y’all that, yeah

Slave to our tables, no, we don’t know why

Yeah we’re listing to the devil, no, we don’t know why

Oh naw, another prison system, no, we don’t know why, yeah

For you and me to live in, no, we don’t know why, mhm

Attorney want to win like he trying to get a ring

Cut a nigga time but first they make him sing

Even paid lawyers playing on the same team as the DA and the judge nigga shit

ain’t what it seem

A public defender won’t get you shit a conviction

Ain’t trying to discredit them ones handeling they business

Cutting off your hair it ain’t gone change your complexion

I know you nigga lost let me give you some direction

Seen the face tatts now they making a connection

Cooperate for they crime pat em down then arrest em

We hate our own skin but this melanin a blessing

Judge give you 50 years call it teaching you a lesson

Doing all the labor they paying you a dollar

But they making mills read the message In the bottle

Educated scholar doing time in Angola

Tell 'em abolish the prisons and free all the soldiers yeah

Slave to our tables, no, we don’t know why

Yeah we’re listing to the devil, no, we don’t know why

Oh naw, another prison system, no, we don’t know why, yeah

For you and me to live in, no, we don’t know why, mhm

Say yo shit, my nigga

Say yo shit

We livin' in a time (No, we don’t know why)

Where the police killin' us (No, we don’t know why)

The things they teach us in school to brainwash the mind (No, we don’t know why)

Then tell, why we have a record before we ever have a degree (No,
