Me, do what they wanted me to do
The revolution was on in
the jailhouse too
See a brother like me with sins
Is a threat to everything the
system represent
An d they knew they couldn't stop it I called a case
for a gun and they wasn't gonna drop it
Getting free to me, that was my assignment I
spent a lot of time in solitary confinement
Many attempts was made to keep me quiet
I brought fear to the ears to hear a sign of a riot
I gave the black power salute
to my troops I raised
Now on the side of a ride along
Now I know they gonna
throw me in a hole
I gotta do a couple of weeks
in solitary control
I've been locked down,
tripped around from cell to cell
Through my years,
no tear fell from these black eyes
As they rise towards the ceiling,
I'm feeling aggression
Capitalism is a cause
of my oppression
Many times I try to pray
They say the only one
they hear my prayers is me
I went to court, I looked in the judge's eyes
I saw hate, he tried to fake me
He made me a warden of the state
Warden of state being locked down
Locked down,
a motherfuckin' warden of state
Warden of the state
being locked down
Locked down,
a motherfuckin' warden of the state
Warden of the state being locked down
Locked down,
a motherfuckin' warden of the state
Now I'm a warden of the state,
and it's simple
But I'm not a house nigga,
so it's gettin' to my temper
I don't say yes or no, sir
I don't like white folks,
so I don't let them close, sir
In three feet, any closer,
they sleep on the concrete
Gettin' woke up by my feet,
cuz I remember I wasn't tellin'
December
The pigs came into my room
fast and kicked my as s
Just because I exposed them
All the brothers know now
because I told them
The pigs ain't nothin'
but another
Organizer pressive army occupy
ing our community
So now I'm sittin' in the courtroom
And everything is quiet,
they tryin' to get me for excitement
Rhyme, they told me that
there was a homie
Since I'm 18,
they checked my records and they seen
Through my past behavior,
the way I direct my anger
That I'm a major brick to the
white folks' safety
So they sentenced me to the
California
Youth
Authority
It don't feel great being locked down
A motherfuckin' wanted estate
Wanted estate,
being locked down, locked down
A motherfuckin' wanted estate
Wanted estate,
being locked down, locked down
A motherfuckin' wanted estate
Wanted estate, being locked down,
locked down
My time, 89, growing up in a jail,
doing push -ups in my cell so my chest can swell, living life
as a trooper, now I'm locked down,
it got me going insane, what can I maintain, as I
close my eyes I'm hoping when they open,
it's a dream but it's the same old thing, now I'm
looking at the four walls, and it seem like they closing on me,
I'm dozing off to sleep,
I toss and turn through the night, my mama
used to tell me it's gonna be alright, but
And now they don't even let
me see her I'm going to
Y -8 from
Y -8 to
Santa
Maria
And peeing to the pen
It's like tor ture
Taking or der from my oppressor
Now I'm thinking of a
way I could end this
Wrap the sheet around my neck
And then my rest will be end less
But I can't pretend this is the way I
know that revolution is the only solution
For me to be free I heard the news,
it didn't shock me
My public defender was a pretender
He was in it to watch me
So I'm sitting in a jail for a
crime that I didn't commit
And I'm mad as shit, I know I gotta get away
If I don't, they gonna lock me up,
N -C -Y -A
So I'm thinkin' of a master plan,
but I gotta think faster
Damn, cause my time
is comin' up for sure
On the 24th,
they gonna ship me to the airport
And it all feels great, bein' locked down
A motherfuckin' ward of the state
Ward of the state,
bein' locked down, locked down
A motherfuckin' ward of the state
They won't let me get a phone call,
but they better
Not let me ride a ladder, I wrote the
Uhuru
House and I talked to him
To bring the helicopter to the
courtyard and drop the rope
And I'll be right there when my
black pie fits on him high in the air
I told the crew that the answers
was coming to get me
And they said they was down to come with
me, the time to leave was 4 o 'clock
We got our door open cause he stuffed a lot
I walk to the corner and I'm hoping
that the night man'll sleep
He got his back to me, he's watching
TV
I snuck up on him like a creeper,
banked to the grill, then I got him in a sleeper
Now it only takes 5, 4, 3,
2, 1, now the job is done
I grabbed his keys and I
opened up the door
Thinking of freedom as I'm
trapped in a courtyard
I know pretty soon the pigs
are gonna be running
But that's okay,
I hear the helicopter coming
I heard a voice answer, exit's at a chute
A light in my face,
that's when I screamed out a hoo -roo
He dropped the last, I started to climb
Visions of freedom flashed
through my mind
Halfway up the ladder I fell,
I hit the ground
My mind went blank like
I was smokin' on day
I remember wakin' up
sayin' what the fuck
When the staff said get up,
it's time for mornin'
Watch out cause it was a dream
But it don't feel great
I'm still in jail,
a motherfuckin' wanted to stay
