Way too many I said there's way too many in Rikers Island And you may not be in Rikers Island You may be in Rikers Island in your own mind Nevertheless, you gotta unleash yourself Everybody, everybody (Too many) Too many niggas in Rikers Island (yeah) Why must it be? (I said that there's too many) Too many niggas in Rikers Island (set 'em free) Set 'em free (you know that there's too many) Too many niggas in Rikers Island (why must it be?) Why must it be? (Too many locked up today) Too many niggas in Rikers Island (set 'em free) Set 'em free The judge sits in the high chair While the family sits and prays Hoping judge and jury That all 12 will vote their way The boy is shaking inside He says it's something he didn't do He's afraid to take that long ride Down Rikers Avenue (Too many) Too many niggas in Rikers Island (why must it be?) Why must it be? (I said that there's too many) Too many niggas in Rikers Island (let 'em sing) Set 'em free Month to month to month, they're growin' And it only multiplies Some of them for no reason Some will be there 'til they die Children home with no fathers And they don't even know why Mother can't explain it The family visits, that's all were seeing (I know there's too many) Too many niggas in Rikers Island (way too long) Why must it be? (I know there's too many) Too many niggas in Rikers Island (we need to heal) Set 'em free (I know there's too many) Too many niggas in Rikers Island (and why) Why must it be? (I know there's too many) Too many niggas in Rikers Island (set them free) Set 'em free La da da da da, la da da da da La da da da da, la da da da da
