Prison's 

Not only home 

In the head of mankind

Defined by bling and greed

The seed breeds deeds that leads

Dreams to dirty schemes

Prison's also living 

Unforgiving for other men's crimes

Unaligned with truth 

Legacy that go poof

Faster than then smoke

From the humanity we shoot

Knowing skins too thin

To be bulletproof 

And our excuse for the abuse

Is do what you gotta do

Killing children 

Willing to fill em with lead too

Don't be surprised when you realize our future's screwed 

What can we do to get through 

The baseless hatred from this nation

It permeates and creates more life

To be wasted

In cased in the contemplations

Of currency chasing 

We even forfeit education

For a better place in

This damnation
