Wynton Marsalis - From The Plantation To The Penitentiary lyrics

rate me

From the Plantation

To the Penitentiary

From the yassuh boss

To the ghetto minstrelsy

In the heart of freedom

In chains

In the heart of freedom

Insane

In the heart of freedom

Insane

In the heart of freedom

In chains

From the field hand cry

To the ten to twenty-five

From the 'sold-off' men

To the raised by next-of-kin

In the cause of freedom and shame

In the cause of freedom and game

From the 'no book' rules

To the raggly public schools

From the coon and shine

To the unemployment line

In the land of freedom

In chains

In the land of freedom

Insane

From the work long days

To the dope

And drinking craze

From the stock in slaves

To the booming prison trade

In the name of freedom

Insane

In the name of freedom

And shame

In the heart of freedom

In chains

In the heart of freedom

Insane<br />
