[00:01.336] Way too many
[00:04.794] I said there's way too many
[00:07.079] And you may not be in Rikers Island
[00:09.215] You may be in Rikers Island in your own mind
[00:14.575] Nevertheless, you gotta unleash yourself
[00:17.432] Everybody, everybody
[00:19.746] (Too many)
[00:21.620] Too many niggas in Rikers Island (Yeah)
[00:26.742] Why must it be? (I said that there's too many)
[00:31.711] Too many niggas in Rikers Island (Set 'em free)
[00:36.759] Set 'em free (You know that there's too many)
[00:41.679] Too many niggas in Rikers Island (Why must it be?)
[00:47.968] Why must it be? (Too many locked up today)
[00:52.128] Too many niggas in Rikers Island (Set 'em free)
[00:58.155] Set 'em free
[01:02.641] The judge sits in the high chair
[01:07.525] While the family sits and prays
[01:14.010] Hoping judge and jury
[01:18.473] That all 12 will vote their way
[01:24.026] The boy is shaking inside
[01:29.023] He says it's something he didn't do
[01:34.827] He's afraid to take that long ride
[01:39.910] Down Rikers Avenue
[01:43.713] (Too many)
[01:44.562] Too many niggas in Rikers Island (Why must it be?)
[01:50.985] Why must it be? (I said that there's too many)
[01:55.340] Too many niggas in Rikers Island (Let 'em sing)
[02:01.287] Set 'em free
[02:05.137] Month to month to month, they're growin'
[02:10.673] And it only multiplies
[02:16.495] Some of them for no reason
[02:21.496] Some will be there 'til they die
[02:26.882] Children home with no fathers
[02:32.035] And they don't even know why
[02:37.531] Mother can't explain it
[02:41.168] The family visits, that's all were seeing
[02:45.710] (I know there's too many)
[02:46.614] Too many niggas in Rikers Island (Way too long)
[02:52.900] Why must it be? (I know there's too many)
[02:57.494] Too many niggas in Rikers Island (We need to heal)
[03:03.731] Set 'em free (I know there's too many)
[03:07.801] Too many niggas in Rikers Island (And why)
[03:13.896] Why must it be? (I know there's too many)
