Napoleon Da Legend - Ma** Incarceration lyrics

Chorus: *It's Dangerous * In the Belly the beast where they treat us like live stock while selling us a dream its *It's dangerous* To demonize a skin color kids suffer From a broken family structure and *It's dangerous* When they capture and they taze us Laughing in face while they distract and entertain us it's "Dangerous" To bend facts and disgrace us from the past to present day, it's Ma** Incarceration Verse 1: Lift the veil up the system has fail us 2 million of us sitting in jail what Selling us is lies Where's heaven when you living in hell You can't see it but you feel it like it's written in brail They introduced the indentured servants as the workers now slaves basically the same concepts reworded Poor white folks angry broke and disenfranchised Invented racism to justify the apartheid It's politics due to the pressure Lincoln abolished it After the civil war the economy dipped 4 million black slaves were freed industry suffered Eventually they locked em up and made em work for nothing Reconstruction vagrancy laws made public Anything you do'll put in front of these judges Whites started working with blacks party was populist Then they created segregation to put a stop to this Intro to Jim Crow laws with a pen stroke The syndrome expanding black and brown people been broke Similar to poor white folks but they divide us Ku klux klan is ISIS terrorizing us 20 After World War 2 things were pretty critical Criticizing Nazis looking hypocritical Civil rights act was signed ok fine now Peep the second verse for what was next in line cause Chorus Verse 2: Black brown represent the outcast racial cast It's foul like tackling grabbing the face mask Prison is privatized and the profits keep rising Convicts are release without any means to survive Post racist America where laws is colorblind You can never get the truth by discoloring a lie Who advocates for the inmate regarded as the criminal Families torn when penitentiaries are the ritual The poorest get stuck in court rooms its the war against d** Another way to wage war against us In other words our hoods over-policed and under-served Gentrification bringing hunger wars up in the burbs Jim Crow upgraded when they send us upstate I walk the streets with a chip and an indigenous face Complexity of my essence complicit in my complexion Culturally conflicted in the system I was bred in Shell shocked free us from the cell blocks Sell off all ya jail stock Write to ya senator flood her mailbox Stereotypes have to change too What's The movement no more cooning to entertain you Cards on the table for change youth driven True in what we living and birthing a new system With the Taboos lifted the reality is blatant Kicking the door down with the Audacity to change it cause Chorus
