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 |
|
Prisoner number one |
|
Prisoner number one |
|
We're all prisoners |
|
We're all prisoners |
|
We're all prisoners here |
|
Oh-oh-oh |
|
Oh-oh-oh |
|
Oh-oh-oh-oh! |
