about

A large problem in America today. Get profits out of prison.

lyrics

1st day out of jail, I ain't going back
Beating down the block, in my lumberjack
Listen to me dawg, crime don't pay
They want to see you in a prison cell locked away
Everyday on the yard is a profit 4 them
If you're doing 40 years who gives a damn bout a gym
who gives a damn bout a gym yeah who gives a damn bout a gym Prisons 4 profit, they really need to stop it, bail price high, refusing to drop it
Yeah, people locked up just because they couldn't pay
The people locked up just because they couldn’t, people locked up just because they couldn’t, yeah pay
Just because they couldn’t pay
Prison reform, or reform the prison but doing that means they'll lose money so they don't listen
Don't get me wrong if you do the crime do the time, but the sentence and the crime don't always align
And when you take time to look sometimes you'll see the reason prison numbers climb
With every new inmate, prison stock increase, so why would they want peace?
So why would they want peace, with every new inmate, prison stock increase
So what is the motive, I'll tell you, "getting money", there's no other way around it
Their morality's corrupt just wrong, and their judgment's cloudy
So next time you wanna say "hi" to da bad guy
Point out all the flaws with the look in my eye
But before you do that, and beat me blue/black
Take profit out of prisons, and bring the truth back
