CAPITAL-''X'' - Prison Of The Mind lyrics

rate me

My brains been cuffed up and shackled, locked up in chains

Like a terrorist suspect at Guantanamo bay

Stuck in a house of pain, where living conditions are inhumane

The kind of place that drives the toughest mutha fuckas insane

They say no pain no gain, man I'm tired of playing games

I got this razor in my hand, ready to cut my veins

Let me explain, it's like I'm submerged and drownin

And I can spit this verse with no beat, the way my head is pounding

I'm completely surrounded, and there's no escaping

Locked in solitary confinement, administrative segregation

There's no cures or medications, no smiling or grinning

Even satan fears this hellish place that I live in

Serving a life sentence, with no chance for parole

No time off for good behavior, like Antonio Negron

I can't hear you when you talk, so you better fuckin shout

I'm trapped behind these bars I've written, and see no way out

Locked in a prison of the mind, this is where I'm living

Cruel and unusual punishment, it's so unforgiving

With no evidence or witnesses, I've been convicted

Removed from existence, now I'm just a statistic

In a prison of the mind, this is where I'm living

Where all hope is lost, even if you're a Christian

Out of sight out of mind, no phone calls or visits

My only escape is this rhyme and the rhythm

Yea I feel trapped like the Africa's, after the Philly Massacre

Held captive, I want to uprise like Attica

I call for revolution, but I'm only heard by actors

That own the art of war, but have never read a chapter

Dying slowly in solitary, like George L. Jackson

Contemplating action, revenge against his assassins

Time keeps passing by, and I keep asking-why?

I was born to live and die, trapped on the inside

No concrete or steel, but these bars are fucking real

It's like a fucking public defender, copped me a raw deal

Life with no parole, buried alive in a hole

Feel like Christ climbing skull hill, baring the cross

No one cares if your lost, it's injustice for all

Only escapes like Snake, climbing over the wall

Fuck it if I fall, I'm tired of doing the time

In solitary confinement within my own fucking mind
