Damn
Michigan got the fifth largest prison population in the country
Michigan and black citizens in particular are six
Times more likely to be locked up than white people
I'm wondering where they get that stuff from
Michigan leads the country in the average
Length of prison sentencing and incarceration
Lock up like 39,000 people
It costs the taxpayers 35,000 a person
Yet it only costs 11,000 for one public school student
I wonder how much public school teachers make
Killer part about it is Michigan got the longest, lengthiest
Prison sentences in the nation or in the Great Lake region
Yet it's stats proven that the longer you
Stay, the more of a criminal you become
And if you talking about black men being six
Times more likely to be locked up than white men
Black woman, where your, where your man at?
He on the back forty
He in the joint
And the killer part is nine times out of ten he
Didn't even do anything in terms of killing somebody
'Cause they have a thing called felony murder
Where if you with somebody and they do something
You get charged and found guilty just along with them
And if you keep it one hundred, you doing that
Right along with them for keeping it real
And then to make matters worse
They show us in front of our face that they are the ones that
Basically set the trap to lay the
Foundation for us to sit in the penitentiary
What I mean by that
They got a show that come on television called Snowfall
In this show they outright showing you that they
Were the ones that was putting crack cocaine
They being the CIA and the American government are the ones
Putting crack cocaine on the streets of LA and then throughout
And then got the nerve to lock you up as
A capitalistic scapegoat for drug dealing
And the killer part is if you try to bring this to them
Without any power, without any unity amongst your own people
