you did this and that
lock up in a latch

your in jail
because you fail
and they will
SET
BAIL
Form:
you do the crime
you do the time
kept this in mind
jail not all sunshine
can ne your undertaker
if your
LAW BREAKER
Tie one on
Yesterday I went to port
Today I'm going to court
I'm just a sad sailor
And I'm in jail
That's all I know
they are in the rain
also on a train
taught to tell
if your not fit well
could be jail no bail
its
DOGS AND SMELLL
Roses are red
Lilies are pale
A politician
Should be in jail
(Sorry did I say one politician? I meant most of them)
168
So now I go
And walk on
Away from
This jail and
A place called
Framingham
But here I
Find myself
Here again
A fox slips easily through
the bars
of a garden gate.
Dog barking,
chained to
an imaginary kennel.
Never violent
Only hopes for unity
Incarcerated dreams

by heaven I dream
hell requires by open mouth
might well be my head

While I was out’a slummin’
I heard the sirens hummin’
hands restrained behind
now in jail I find
I shoulda seen it comin’
you feel trouble
rememeber mother
iif its a bad smell
don't waited for the bell
get out before its a jail sell
RUN
LIKE HELL
Sustainer of Life
Imprisoned within a jail
House made out of bone—
When lying still I hear you
Pounding on your captor’s wall
I except good and bad
am not sad
am glad
being me you see
life been hell
i'been down in jail sells
BEING BLACK
TAUGH ME WELL
It
is a
wise phrase and
is well said, the
truth will set you free
but a white lie
might keep you
out of
jail
stop being so bold
and get controll
and reload
before your life fold
you nuthin but a shell
or a jail sell
YOUR BOUND
FOR HELL
don't be a fool
hold your cool
being in jail
have to get bail
mean you fail
the cards or stack
god s got your back
THINK BEFORE YOU ACT
94
So if in wanting
You I changed
My path
No regrets
Just facts
If its you
And going back
To jail
Ill stay single
No big deal
no where near or far
have they faces the bar
jail and bail
trying to put stop
to the racist block
it was a a hard pace
we'er
STRONG RACE
She Posted Bail!
We had a fight
I went to jail
She still loves me!
She posted bail!

going thur pain
