Free ’Em All

[Intro:]
(This is Stephanie Fredric reporting live
From inside the Federal lock-Em-Down Bureau
This just in: there has been a massive uprising
In the country's penitentiaries
This is apparently due to the systematic Imprisonment of several key figures
Now to our confidential sources on the inside...)
Yeah
Ahh
Soundlabs in the house
Let 'em know!

[Verse 1: Tenkamenin]
They steady takin our money, got us appealin' our cases
'Cause deep down in my heart I know they nothin' but racists
No more pistols to pull, no more corners to turn
I learned all I can learn without being burned
Penitentiary dreams got me from answer my screams
'Cause things didn't go the way that it seems
Lord can't you see? Dollar bills is all my homies are seeing
I guess the devil was the god to influence and do these evil things
Incarcerated for murders that been committed
But when I meet the judge they steady askin' "Who did it?"
Should I lie or be a man for my dirty action?
I'm Larry Hoover, gang disciple, so they label me 'captain'
And for Suge, he ran the business the way that he could
But feds hate to see him livin' that good, that's why we should
Never trust, even though our lust done put us in the dust
That's why they say "In God We Trust", we gotta bust

[Chorus: Tenkamenin & J Flex]
I'm livin life inside a jail cell
I might as well be livin life inside a dirty hell
I can't tell (Free 'em all)
I'm livin life inside a jail cell
I might as well be livin life inside a dirty hell
I can't tell

[Verse 2: J Flex]
As ominous conglomerates gain prominence
Economic oppression is all they can promise us
And when one of our own gang's dethroned
Right away they clock him and watch him and tap his telephone
Yo, society ain't nuttin' sweet
They don't wanna see a cat from the street get on his feet (Word)
It's all designed to enslave us
'Cause what did Suge Knight do, that ain't been done by Clive Davis?
Catch my drift? Our culture's burnin slow like a spliff
Why do we have to riff? When we should uplift
We need more real models instead of role models
We cloud up our gun smoke in ol' Gold bottles
What's the motto? But reality sucks
My motto is keep it movin' 'til we control the bucks
And the trucks and the trains and ships and airplanes
Distribution companies and record store chains

[Chorus: Tenkamenin & J Flex]
I'm livin' life inside a jail cell
I might as well be livin' life inside a dirty hell
I can't tell (Free 'em all)
I'm livin' life inside a jail cell
I might as well be livin' life inside a dirty hell
I can't tell(Free 'em all)
I'm livin' life inside a jail cell
I might as well be livin' life inside a dirty hell
I can't tell(Free 'em all)
I'm livin' life inside a jail cell
I might as well be livin' life inside a dirty hell
I can't tell(Free 'em all)

[Verse 3: J Flex, J Flex & Tenkamenin]
Damn! I just talked to the brother now they puttin him under
The grey cover, notifyin' his mother
Another one bites the dust' but the only one's dyin' is us
So in gats I can't trust (Kill, kill, kill)
Ain't no ghetto in the world that manufacture AK's
Politicians lookin for backdo' paydays
Year after year the same phrase
How much brew we gotta pull out before we change our ways?
I wanna live to be old and senile
Without winding up in the pe-nal
With some C.O. treating me foul
See how systemized, we become?
Give up our god given rights and grab a gun
It ain't no fun when you take two in the chest
You might have when out like a G but I ain't impressed
I'm just stressed (Why?) 'Cause it's bigger than that
The real G's is the government supplying the gats and that's fact

[Chorus: Tenkamenin & J Flex]
I'm livin' life inside a jail cell
I might as well be livin' life inside a dirty hell
I can't tell (Free 'em all)
I'm livin' life inside a jail cell
I might as well be livin' life inside a dirty hell
I can't tell(Free 'em all)
I'm livin' life inside a jail cell
I might as well be livin' life inside a dirty hell
I can't tell(Free 'em all)
I'm livin' life inside a jail cell
I might as well be livin' life inside a dirty hell
I can't tell(Say what?)
I'm livin' life inside a jail cell (What?)
I might as well be livin' life inside a dirty hell
I can't tell (Say what?)
I'm livin' life inside a jail cell (Huh?)
I might as well be livin' life inside a dirty hell
I can't tell (Say what?)
I'm livin' life inside a jail cell (Huh?)
I might as well be livin' life inside a dirty hell
I can't tell (Say what?)

[Outro: Tenkamenin & J Flex]
I'm livin' life inside a (I'm livin' inside, inside)
A jail cell (mine and yours)
I'm thuggin' up inside a jail cell (Thug **** 'til we die)
I'm hopin' God show me well (Bustin' back with no reply)
I'm livin' life inside my jail cell (Free Suge Knight, y'all)
(Suge Knight) Hopin God show me well
[Free Larry Hoover (Larry Hoover)]
Free my cousin Keith y'all, [?]Hawawrka
Free free free 'em all (Straight death In my jail cell)
My boy Greedy Box (Put some money in my books)
Put some money on MY books
Show me love (love), One love nigga, one love
Newport (smoke), no filters baby, (smoke free)
Inside a jail cell (jail cell dreams) must dream
(In the belly of the beast)I'm livin' life inside my jail cell
(Huh huh, jail cell, jail cell dreams)
(In the belly of the beast)
I'm livin life inside my jail cell (Inside my jail cell)
I'm livin' life inside my jail cell (Ha-ha-ha-ha)
Might as well be livin life inside a dirty hell
I can't tell
I'm livin' life inside my jail cell (Huh?)
I might as well be livin life inside a dirty hell
I can't tell (Say what?)
I'm livin' life inside my jail cell (Huh?)
I might as well be livin life inside a dirty hell
I can't tell (Say what?)
I'm livin' life inside my jail cell (Huh?)
Might as well be livin life inside a dirty hell
I can't tell (Hell you might as well)
I'm livin' life inside my jail cell (Ha-ha-ha)
I might as well be livin life inside a dirty hell (Q.D.3)
I can't tell (On the beat)
You know the fuckin' warden all on my back (Yeah)
