Mickey Factz - Kites lyrics
rate meD villain, my car is in the slammer
My other cousin purging the slammer
Cause the judge let us..
Hit the hard wood like a fragrance shot from the tackle
Enough babble, let's dwell on the purpose
Jails need workers, the cells need service
That's why they see boss, to help out the Vermont
Get free label, so the black man fits perfect
We're modern day slaves
And more money invested in prison than education
But what's worst, it resembles segregation
Black families experience separation!
And they're building more prisons, ask Jordan
They call 'em all stars, cause they're all in the space jam
You're seeing scare straight man
Trust genocide in our country, we wanna..
Chorus:
Tell me what that life like, time is real
Everything is signed to seal
Prison is a place for mind to heal
But instead every mind gets killed
let me write this will!
Kites, kites, kites
Kites, kites, kites
Send them off!
Kites, kites, kites
Kites, kites, kites
Send them off!
For every new commer, a check gets placed
The government plays the prison for inmates
So if police locks up a dark skin face
Just to.. then the cops are disgraced
The pebble on top of a hill, makes an avalanche
Someone's perspective, the black man doesn't stand a chance
Signals given off in jail, you know...
So when they come home, the kids think it's baggy pants
That's the plan, plant seeds
and police who've seen jail birds doing the same damn thing
The stereotypes emerge in the scene of racism and greed
That breed blacks the bleed
My cousin said he'll go to sleep and bleed being free
I wake up the people that could see him when he pee
He hustled to the sun rose and he hurt his feet
Now he go to bed at night... at 23
Chorus:
Tell me what that life like, time is real
Everything is signed to seal
Prison is a place for mind to heal
But instead every mind gets killed
let me write this will!
Kites, kites, kites
Kites, kites, kites
Send them off!
Kites, kites, kites
Kites, kites, kites
Send them off!
To my black brothers, here's the reality
They work all day, no kind of salary
Fights pop off, blades being used
Bleeding with other dudes
Wait, this is cruel!
Washing dirt clothes to clean them in the toilet
Convicted felons come home and can't get employment
Solitary confinement in the same place
You can't see women gain rapes
Free.. was cool, nor a priority
Minorities come home and can't fit in society
85 per cent of the prisoners is brown skin
Let me break it down, man!
And so many thousands of proud men locked in these miniature houses
Stand and nobody's thinking about this
Truth is my goal...
Is my open letter, I'm turning this kite off!
Chorus:
Tell me what that life like, time is real
Everything is signed to seal
Prison is a place for mind to heal
But instead every mind gets killed
let me write this will!
Kites, kites, kites
Kites, kites, kites
Send them off!
Kites, kites, kites
Kites, kites, kites
Send them off!
