1st verse

i wanna bathe where the catholics bathe
where celebrities bathe – where politicians bathe
wash off the stain blemish and blame
ascend – free of all sin
money absolves all faux pas and flaws
i need it all to avoid steel bars – when i kill bill
maher
and cause a small holocaust – impact the globe with
awesome force
i’m a metaphor for a meteor’s course
a modern day socrates for societies hypocrisies
hip hops diseased – blame it on label monopolies
and giving the impoverished cheese – now
you won’t find a kat on mtv, bet or any viacom subsidy
many majors that’ll **** with me – i ain’t exactly they
cup of tea
but – still i flow – equivalent to rivers and the sea
i’m told
through rain, sleet, snow – **** five-o
i look sleep but no – sheer blindfold
off the hook since 99 – you shouldn’t have let me go
renegade – runaway slave – can’t be contained – can’t
be kunta kinte-d
i’m in a bronco with ac and oj – with a trunk load
of government issued cocaine
and i’m trafficking – half *ss african – same day
invented
crack and a backspin – a fictional fact like moon
landings – perhaps
fred hampton had it coming – and oswald killed jack –
but uh
sam don’t tell no lies – church don’t tell no lies
media don’t tell no lies – when the revolution
comes it won’t be televised

2nd verse
i wanna go where bruce lee went – where marvin gaye
went
where john lennon went – some pioneer **** – surrect a pyramid
make it so peers can’t mirror it – there’s no
experience
without experiment
i’m so american – but take it from a native’s narrative
– a n*gg*r’s heritage
slavery – racist caucasions created hate in me
a ****ing apology is all you gave to me – but
i’m not blaming – i’m not angry – that’s just
reckless use of a firearm…not aiming
from a rooftop – i’m not muhammad or malvo
i won’t get got – like tupac – if i die tonite
don’t blame it on hip hop culture
kats wear the colors – though they ain’t soldiers
they talk of revolution without contribution
steady screaming bout guns – ain’t shooting ****
but your mouth or us –
i ain’t the enemy to be free we need unity
be the centipede – think of the seeds – i’m thinking
2014
i’m thinking bout kats that lived and died before me –
we need
hindsight, insight, foresight to see – the intricacies
of the machine
i’m huey p – **** authority – they say forget the past
i keep a backlog – i’m burning confederate flags on
they front lawn
you ready to ride – i’m ready to drive by – die aryan
die
eye for an eye – i senim, ready to play god – playing
shaytain same time
i’m your albatross – burn me on a cross – rather die a
braveheart
then live as ray charles – behold a pale horse foretold
of a george
well before michael moore’s faranheit 9/11
the place is here the time is now my brethren
piece or peace you designate your preference
the wolfs lurking – sleep is for sheep and beasts of
burden
each persons a p*wn pushed upon a chess board of falsehood
laws are altered – to keep a bush in the oval office
they’re on the offense – we’re targets – you better get conscious
before your *ss suffers the consequence
now everybody robot – punch the clock
form a line ya’ll – question not
i said robot – question not
form a line ya’ll – punch the clock
i said robot – question not
form a line ya’ll – punch the clock
i said robot – punch the clock
form a line ya’ll – question not
let’s go


These guys were awesome . A shame they split.

[Hook]
In jail, without the bail
In jail, without the bail
In jail, without the bail
In jail, without the bail
In jail, without the bail
In jail, without the bail
In jail

[Verse 1: Senim Silla]
I got confined at 17, young and naive
Dashed in to a world with killers robbers and thieves
Cramped in a 8 man cell with 10 cats
8 on the bunks and 3 on just mats
Housed in max, with cat's facing all day
Habitual ways, short to long term stays
Going back and fourth the circuit
My life hanging on a verdict and laws I'm unable to interpret
I just knew I had to do some time...
Bottom line, laid up some years or so away from mine
Locked from the sun moon and sky, lack a fresh air
Had me feeling pail and dry
Circles forming under my eyes from sleepless weeks
Stress levels off the hook!
Reaching a new beach home sick, for my peoples in the street
A huge weight bearing on my back
Im chain smoking roll ups in attempts to kind of act and write my rap
No get-away cuz life goes on and tomorrows just another day of the same
Routine ain't a damn thing new
Either I grind, watch the tube with the phone, or get a view
So much time and so little to do
Just waiting on a court date so I can get through
Caught between a rock in a hard place
Prosecution had a hard case
So I'd have to plead or escape
If I took it to trial, they would have gave me a boat
Fresh 25 piece like a noose with a rope
I couldn't go that rout no doubt
So I waited for the best offer and I got the hell out
After getting sentenced, I was eager to ride
Just to be outside, just to see the sky
No more bars, no more court, held the county made the joint
Sounds like the resort, I was all in for it
I had my **** packed and ret, ready to jet
Standing at the bars anxious waiting on a debt (waiting on a debt)...
Without the bail


[Hook]


[Hook over Intro Speaking]
You know what I'm saying, you got these wack emcees out here, you
Know what I'm saying, they do three days in the county, you know what
I'm saying, and come home and write a rhyme about doin' bids, you know
What I'm saying, shankin', shankin' people, doin' time, they don't know
Nothing 'bout time. Man, I got people locked down, you know what I'm saying

[Verse 1: One Man Army]
Yo its handcuffed, in the back of the bus, forty of us
The road it was rough, plus nobody I could trust (trust)
Headed upstate, no chance for escape
Barbed wire and guards and the gun tower secured the gate
My uncle's fate, was life without parole
Thank God I was blessed with an out date
I can't wait, but I got to
You probably wouldn't have did what I did to catch a bid, but I'm not you
I got a crew still on the street, they don't write me letters
No time to visit a brotha, or bother to send me cheddar
Never did I sweat it, I know they got a life to live
My man J, had a wife and kid
And these are the consequences, my actions committed
Some cats that I used to visit, now I live with
Along with swillas, killas, drug dealas, some rich brothas
Crackheads, con artists, child molesters, dick suckers
All types of individuals
Sorta like a melting pot for criminals
The system is designed to stock it plentiful
This old cat from the hood
Told me, "Out of every bad situation comes some good"
Its understood
Prison ain't good for my health
Lookin' in the mirror, introducing me to myself
I studied my thoughts, my ways, the routes I took
Though I read daily, it ain't all about the books
Its all about the lessons you learn, through your experience
Applying it in a positive way, period
All praise due to Allah, I used to scheme
'Til he showed me the straight way, Sirat al-Mustaqim
Now I'm on the V-I, telling Moms about Islam
She called me a blasphemous fool, I stayed calm
The world wasn't ready for the changes I made
They was waitin' for the ***** I was in twelfth grade
Everyday, the same old thing, I walked the yard
Set up in the chow hall, with Abdul Rahim
Cats waitin' in infirmary lines, for they medicines
Moorish Americans, walk around, with circle sevens
And older heads playin' horseshoes, sometimes chess
Trippin' when I first seen a ****** with breasts
In the shower with a cat, gettin' hit from the back
White dudes, on basketball courts, kickin' hacky-sacks
Board games, card games--face it
Everybody, time on they hands--most of it wasted
Anything to make the time fly, soon as possible
Some cats used to sleep all day, that's unacceptable
Heads getting cracked over unpaid debts
Either a shank or a lock on the side would do the trick
Correction officers, devil's advocate
And when its time to go home, parole boards wasn't havin' it
Life was hell every day, the devil's tryin' me
But I paid my debt, to society
And after twenty-seven months, of my life, I'll tell you one thing
I know why the caged bird sings

Yo, yo, yo, yo
In jail, without the bail (repeat)

[Hook over Outro]
You know what I'm sayin', this goes out to all the caged birds
Everybody who know why the caged bird sings, you know what I'm sayin'
I know why the caged bird sings {*2X*}
In jail, in jail, in jail
I sang the same song
When I was upstate, I couldn't flap wings

[STAX ON DECK]

MF DOOM , if any one listens to DOOM

[Adamjr91]

Joey Bada$$ with the best freestyle I have seen for a while



The man goes in

[F l i c k e r]

The critics are calling me conscious
But truthfully, every shooter be callin' me Compton
So truthfully, only calling me Kweli and Common?
Proves that ignorance is bliss


Got critics in here calling the bull conscious but fake version. Then a Compton bull in here calling him Compton.
Soo, gonna leave these few bars here. He just rap about what he sees and his first two albums were mostly his life. Can't fault him for not sound DMX rough or going super anti-illuminati like Lupe. The bull is just him. King Kendrick.
