Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Slave to our tables
(No, we don't know why)
Yeah, we're listing to the devil
(No, we don't know why)
Oh naw, another prison system
(No, we don't know why)
For you and me to live in
(No, we don't know why)
(No, we don't know why)
(No, we don't know why)
(No, we don't know why)
(No, we don't know why)
[Verse 2]
Sitting in the court room
Tune on the stand
Hoping that his story her believed by a man
Took his life from him, he didn't even understand
Victim of they system, it was all in they plans
Police under oath but be lying on the stand
Say he shot him down seen a gun in his hand
Tell me how a cell phone look like a pistol
Swept under the rug as a unresolved issue
His momma wanting justice but she still gone miss him
Wishing she can have him back, just so she can kiss him
Federal conviction rate 98%
Meaning they can take your life with none of the evidence
If the state give you life boy you gotta do all that
Praying for appeal, now you hoping you crawl back
Lynching with no rope, **** that's what you call that
Are prisons obsolete?
I just want to ask y'all that, yeah
[Verse 3]
Slave to our tables
(No, we don't know why)
Yeah we're listing to the devil
(No, we don't know why)
Oh naw, another prison system
(No, we don't know why)
For you and me to live in
[Verse 4]
(No, we don't know why)
[Verse 5]
Attorney want to win like he trying to get a ring
Cut a **** time but first they make him sing
Even paid lawyers playing on the same team
As the DA and the judge, ****, shit ain't what it seem
A public defender won't get you shit but a conviction
Ain't trying to discredit them ones handlin' they business
Cutting off your hair, it ain't gone change your complexion
I know you ****'s lost, let me give you some direction
Seen you face tatts now they making a connection
Cooperate for they crime, pat 'em down then arrest 'em
We hate our own skin but this melanin a blessing
Judge give you 50 years, call it teaching you a lesson
Doing all the labor, they paying you a dollar
But they making mills, read the message in the bottle
Educated scholar doing time in Angola
Tell 'em abolish the prisons and free all the soldiers, yeah
[Verse 6]
Slave to our tables
(No, we don't know why)
Yeah we're listing to the devil
(No, we don't know why)
Oh naw, another prison system
(No, we don't know why)
For you and me to live in
(No, we don't know why)
[Verse 7]
We living in a time
(No, we don't know why)
Where the police killing us and they don't consider it a crime
(No, we don't know why)
Things they teach us in school to brainwash the mind
(No, we don't know why)
You tell me why you or me will have a record before they have a degree
(No, we don't know why)
Yeah
