I Understand
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Nineteen years old
What an age to die
Ashford is a prison
where they hide or die
Richard Campbell
Were you mad?
Or just a bit insane?
Was it being a Rasta
cause you so much pain
white nigger
black nigger
Bleed the same
white nigger
black nigger
Rasta boy in prison
white nigger
black nigger
they made sure,
He'd never
see his twentieth year
when you're a number
you're never a name
they took away his faith
..a candle
..without a flame
the law of animals
destroy what you don't understand
