Prisoners
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.
There's someone banging on my wall
I turn the volume up to full
I don't know who it is
Or why they don't like me
I don't feel safe in the street
There's something nagging in my head
I turn my body out of bed
I draw the curtains on another brand new day
Mrs. jones and friend just look away
I'm prisoner number one
I won't get parole
'cause i carry a gun
Prisoner number one
Prisoner number one
We're all prisoners
We're all prisoners
We're all prisoners here
Last thing i remember tuesday night
Is three white wonders waiting for a fight
Mrs. jones walked by me as i lay there on our street
She knows i'm a black boy underneath
I'm prisoner number one
I won't get parole
'cause i carry a gun
Prisoner number one
Prisoner number one
We're all prisoners
We're all prisoners
We're all prisoners here
We're all prisoners
Always caught
In the life and death of each other's thoughts
I'm prisoner number one (oh-oh)
Prisoner number one (oh-woah-oh)
Prisoner number one (oh-oh)
Prisoner number one
I'm prisoner number one
I won't get parole
'cause i carry a gun
