His world keeps spinnin’ Totally out of control But he keeps on sinnin’ God bless his poor soul He got 25 to life Without the possibility of parole What makes it even worse He ain’t even 25 years old So, you better think twice Cuz you already know They don't give a f*ck About no poor negro Department of Corrections No help for parolees So when they get out, get out It's right back to being Gs These gang bangers out here spreadin’ Like a fuckin disease Please father can you heal our affliction From this awful leprosy Newborn ghetto babies Born in these state prisons Mama’s tainted milk And prison-issued linen Is there any hope for us To get up off the system Grimy nursery wallpaper Clouds of a ghetto heaven Bars on the cribs A life born in misgiving Oh Lord, is there any chance for us To help ‘em make a better livin Will we ever make it out I’m trapped in this prism Shedding tattoo tears, oh Lord Till I reach the tiers of the heaven Oh Lord, can I ever make a difference Can I even change the system Can light get through these bars Will I ever find my mission When I look around me All I see is my reflection Holdin’ up in this mirror But I need your direction Still trapped in the prism I feel so trapped in this prism Praying for blind inmates Hallucinations, inner-visions Faces like mine down the hall All I see is dark reflections All alone in this prison cell Full of concrete blocks Will my prayers ever make it Pass the razor wire and the iron locks Hard time, going crazy To sick tick-tock clocks And it sounds so loud in my head, Lord Tell me how can I make it stop Contemplate the peacefulness I’d feel Once I put my head to that cold Glock Contemplate the peacefulness I’d feel Once I put my head to that cold Glock Mirrors through prison bars I see myself through prisms Dark geometric shapes Broken scars, broken shades But it’s still causing division A kaleidoscope with sick colors Penitentiary visions Yo, is this the man in the mirror People talkin’ But, will he ever listen Faces just like mine, like mine All caught up in this system But, no matter how we twist it It’s just livin’ But, we trapped in this system Children rebuke false prophets Reject all of their schisms Only one can break us free And that is He That was dead But he already risen Prism When I look around me All I see is my reflection Holdin’ up in this mirror But I need your direction Still trapped in the prism I feel so trapped in this prism
