Capital-X - Prison of the Mind lyrics

[Capital-X] My brains been cuffed up and shackled, locked up in chains Like a terrorist suspect at Guantanamo bay Stuck in a house of pain, where living conditions are inhumane The kind of place that drives the toughest mutha f**as insane They say no pain no gain, man I'm tired of playing games I got this razor in my hand, ready to cut my veins Let me explain, it's like I'm submerged and drownin And I can spit this verse with no beat, the way my head is pounding I'm completely surrounded, and there's no escaping Locked in solitary confinement, administrative segregation There's no cures or medications, no smiling or grinning Even Satan fears this hellish, place that I live in Serving a life sentence, with no chance for parole No time off for good behavior, like Antonio Negron I can't hear you when you talk, so you better f**in shout I'm trapped behind these bars I've written, and see no way out [Chorus] Locked in a prison of the mind, this is where I'm living Cruel and unusual punishment, it's so unforgiving With no evidence or witnesses, I've been convicted Removed from existence, now I'm just a statistic In a prison of the mind, this is where I'm living Where all hope is lost, even if you're a Christian Out of sight out of mind, no phone calls or visits My only escape, is this rhyme and the rhythm [Verse 2] Yea I feel trapped like the Africa's, after the Philly Ma**acre Held captive, I want to up rise like Attica I call for revolution, but I'm only heard by actors That own the art of war, but have never read a chapter Dying slowly in solitary, like George L. Jackson Contemplating action, revenge against his a**a**ins Time keeps pa**ing by, and I keep asking-why? I was born to live and die, trapped on the inside No concrete or steel, but these bars are f**ing real It's like a f**ing public defender, copped me a raw deal Life with no parole, buried alive in a hole Feel like Christ climbing Skull Hill, baring the cross No one cares if your lost, it's injustice for all Only escapes like Snake, climbing over the wall f** it if I fall, I'm tired of doing the time In solitary confinement within my own f**ing mind [Chorus]
