Dead Man Walking

(judges speech)

I don't remember my mama,
dad sold crack all night.
My life was fucked from the jumpstreet,
now this kite I write.
Never had a half a fuckin chance,
my whole trial I was broke.
Circumstantial that's bullshit,
my defence was a joke!

(You go in a motherfuckin courtroom,
with a fuckin public defender
the public defender works with the fuckin D.A.!
Motherfuckers ain't got no chance,
you ain't got no money you're fucked,
you're fucked!)

Now this cell is my residence,
my address is the row:
24 hour lock down,
whwn theu'll kill me who knows?

Guilty-we the unfree!
Dead man walking
Guilty-we the unfree!

I'm a genius from books now,
never read on the street.
never lifted a fuckin weight,
now my boys concrete.
Filed a hundred appeals or more,
no response from the state.
Get no phone calls or visits,
My mentality?s hate!

(When I was on the street I had motherfuckin boys,
where's my bitch?
She won't even accept my fuckin phone calls!
Yo they better not let me up out this motherfucka,
you this shit's on,
fuck that word!)

I get visits from doctors,
analyzing the ill.
Families pray for my death now,
vengeance lays for the kill.

Guilty-we the unfree!

So I think'bout my past now,
my future holds only pain.
Involuntarily drugged by the state for years,
now I know I'm insane.
When I'm moved shackled hands and feet,
my skin's covered in ink.
I read the bible 'bout twenty-five times,
now fuck god's how I think!

(You can save all that religius bullshit,
stay the fuck out my cell. If that priest comes in my cell,
I'm a bust him in the -
I'll break yourfuckin neck with my bare hands,
fuck that.)

So live your life to the fullest,
but remember don't trip.
One mistake you're my neighbor,
and ther's no one here rich!
