| I served my time like a man
|
| Get up and take a stand
|
| My life is in your hands
|
| And that ain’t right
|
| (it ain’t easy)
|
| I don’t want no complications, no isolation, (it ain’t easy, no no)
|
| I’m just doin my time
|
| (it ain’t easy) it ain’t easy when your facin incarceration for a victimless
|
| crime (it ain’t easy)
|
| Now I’ve seen a lot of people who got it worse than me
|
| Strugglin to survive, fightin just to feel free
|
| Incarcerated over dealin with a plant
|
| Or standing up for themselves for dealin with the man
|
| Its hard to think in a world of today
|
| That people get locked away for a victimless crime
|
| Doin serious time we must be out of our minds
|
| We need to stand up and get the laws refined
|
| Its up to us to stop writtin the tracks
|
| Start demanding the facts make the right decision
|
| A country run by the people was americas vision
|
| A democratic society where we’re in a positon
|
| Thats why we have the right to vote
|
| But look what happened
|
| We legalize weed and the governments laughin
|
| Bush is still in office so we still in iraq
|
| We need to open up our eyes and take the power back
|
| I served my time like a man
|
| Get up and take a stand
|
| My life is in your hands
|
| And that ain’t right
|
| In this world its all contained
|
| From time to time we all make mistakes
|
| Sometimes in life you can’t catch a break
|
| Living hand to mouth going day to day
|
| And your personal lives start to get you down
|
| And there’s not enough goodness to spread around
|
| All the views of the world start sleepin in
|
| And the sides of the walls start creepin in
|
| Now your thinkin crazy thoughts of desperation
|
| And your faced what you dont want to be facin
|
| Situations, sticky situations
|
| Freedom dead now incareration
|
| How come the government can send us to fight
|
| But i can’t do the things that i want like smoke a pipe
|
| Its punishment, crazy and people lose their rights
|
| Over something so simple that grows from the sky
|
| Keep askin my self the same old questions
|
| No answers just a bunch of complications
|
| Its confusin but oh well
|
| This lifes a trip with so many stories to tell |
