And now the crowd is chanting
From what I can only imagine is a passionate minority

Lock em up
Lock em up
Lock em up

Ay
So what the fuck you say?
Don't you know free labor built Pelican Bay?
What the fuck?
So what the fuck you say?
Don't you know free labor built the USA?

Lock that motherfucker up and throw away the key
Let's get immersed in all this criminal activity
The prison industrial complex is our identity
Three [?], that's the only amenities
Twenty three hour lockdowns
When you step into the compound
Welcome to hell, it's profound
[?] punishment free now
Feel like the king has been decrowned
[?] do now
[?] the doors closed [?] wild sound
No, there is no escape
Fuck a release date, you stay
Politician debate
They wanna dictate, more hate
[?] em away
In the New York State
Crime rate, high as a motherfucker ain't it?

They gon' incentivized then institutionalized
It's a surprise, this is a plan devised
Too old to realize, and walk us down the path of demise
We have arrived, there's no way to hide
It's dead or alive

What the fuck is a mandatory minimum?
Is it all depending on the place that you're from?
Free labor (free labor)
It's all about the free labor (free labor)
Free!

L A B O R, that's all it's been about, simmer down
Eloquently paint the picture for you, you should look around
Time behind bars, they dim yo light and block yo cell out
Put the deed up to yo momma's house if you want to bail out
Freedom was never free, not for you and me
Deliquency, is the epitome of a power struggle
What you see, is a democracy that assume you're guilty before innocent
Lady Liberty is brandishing [?] guillotine
Order in the court
All bows 'fore the judge
The honorable hypocrite presiding
Upon this [?]

I know a n***a that got locked up for some shit that he never did
Never said a single name, plus the court didn't even have the evidence
Public defendant presentin' his case, the judge said that shit irrelevant
At the mercy of the jury now, they malevolent, and they menacin'
5 years for [?] and he resisted arrest
[?] gonna last to our deaths
Chokehold of the justice system got the young n***a out of breath
Main goal is subliminal test, until there's none of us left


What the fuck is a mandatory minimum?
Is it all depending on the place that you're from?
Free labor (free labor)
It's all about the free labor (free labor)
Free!

If we can keep our minimum mandatory sentencing provisions
If we can put more police officers on the street
If we can build more courts, have more prosecutors
If we will commit ourselves to be as outraged about crime as the people who are victims are outraged
I believe we're going to begin to turn the tide and I believe this bill is going to be an important part of it
I yield the floor
