[Verse 1] Following the rights movements You clamped down with your iron fists Drugs became conveniently Available for all the kids Following the rights movements You clamped down with your iron fists Drugs became conveniently Available for all the kids [Pre-Chorus 1] I buy my crack, my smack, my b**h Right here in Hollywood Nearly 2 million Americans are incarcerated In the prison system The prison system of the US [Chorus] (They're trying to build a prison) They're trying to build a prison They're trying to build a prison They're trying to build a prison (For you and me to live in) Another prison system Another prison system Another prison system (For you and me) [Verse 2] Minor drug offenders fill your prisons You don't even flinch All our taxes paying for your wars Against the new non-rich Minor drug offenders fill your prisons You don't even flinch All our taxes paying for your wars Against the new non-rich [Pre-Chorus 2] I buy my crack, my smack, my b**h Right here in Hollywood The percentage of Americans In the prison system, prison system Has doubled since 1985 [Chorus] (They're trying to build a prison) They're trying to build a prison They're trying to build a prison They're trying to build a prison (For you and me to live in) Another prison system Another prison system Another prison system (For you and me!)
