The Cell
Pop pop.
Gunned down.
Hands up.
On the ground.
I never seen a prison cell
Accept my own house.
‘cause as soon as I step out side
police come out.
I never seen a prison cell
accept my own mind
As soon as we have some fun
They creep up from behind.
Pop pop.
Gunned down.
Hands up.
On the ground.
I did an extra 7 years
Just to make sure they don’t mess with me.
But the color of my skin
aint a match for my master’s degree.
I make a lot of money
and I’ve never sold D.
But I know they gunna
find a reason eventually.
Pop pop.
Gunned down.
Hands up.
On the ground.
They never have to put the cuffs on me
for me to be in jail.
because i’ve seen it so many times,
the memories are my cell.
Pop pop
A response to the "black lives matter" protests.
