Lyrics

The hood is empty now, there are no men left
in town
the jails are all full now, there's no fathers around
the war has come and gone, politicians have all left town
devastation they left behind, it's like people have gone blind
they came, in the dark of night
they came, in the morning light
like an army invading
with big guns you better be praying
don't move or they will shoot
three strikes they'll execute
don't talk about your rights
your living in babywrong
don't think about a break
we gotta break the cycle of hate
thousands of men, have all disappeared,
into for profit prisons, and treated like slaves
found guilty for crimes
ignored for the privileged
deprived of being fathers
to children they left behind
taken away in handcuffs
at the point of a gun
warehoused in prisons
locked away in cages
more men in our prisons
than were in slavery
So don't be fooled
they're so many left behind
disenfranchised by the system
dissed for having a record
can't work, can't vote, how will they survive
