Good Man In Prison


Wow theres been many days where good men have been sent to prison

We good men were convicted because we envision

A better world so we make it our mission

Amen for the heaven children


Bless you!!

Because i am not a heaven child, I am a good man in prison

I am a better man for it too

I can see all the evils, everything thats not true

You can call me a criminal but your charade i can see through

You!

no not just you, everyone who's not me


Everyone that just watches as I rob innocent people

Everybody that refuses to care for a body thats not their own

Taking countless lives just so one person would finally stop me

To finally see someone better than us all

Someone like that never came


Say it officer say how you captured me and you're that man

No you can't, obviously you wouldn't be fit to

Not a movement you made was for the better of another

My fellow they pay you

Mark my words getting rid of me is ridding hope


Another good man sent to prison

Wow theres been many days where good men have been sent to prison

We good men were convicted because we envision

A better world so we make it our mission

Amen for the heaven children

I pray for the heaven children
