25 to life

Fuck every liberal that twists themselves in knots to defend prisons
 
Whatchu know about life in a prison cell
You couldn't handle some fuken quarantine
Whatchu know about life living real hell
But you say that they're all rapists and thieves
 
What about every boy that you fucked?
Bout what percent were blackout fuken drunk
 
Ah, but you a rich girl from the suburbs, so I guess consequences are a foreign fucking concept
 
But 25 to life?
 
Shots ring out across my block
2 men dead and an officer down
2 men dead and an officer down,
So the pigs swarm out and their man is found
 
But "man" is a strong fucking word
He was just 16 at the time
 
52 years later he stars out his window, bars block the view of the prison lot
 
But 25 to life?
