Crime and Punishment Lyrics – Audio Lounge
Singer: Audio Lounge
Title: Crime and Punishment
Fighting a war on drugs starting with Nixon and Reagan
It’s public enemy number one
Unfair imprisonment of people who aren’t thugs
Instead we should be giving them therapy
’Cause they really need hugs
Opioids and crack lead to mass incarceration
Poor black kids on the street have only one destination
A bias so blatant it’s the new Jim Crow
Over 2 million blacks imprisoned and there’s room to grow
African Americans are incarcerated 5 times the rate of whites
Yeah they’re comin’ to stop you don’t turn around, don’t turn around
You can’t run away, jump into the fray
This is how it all begins don’t lеt it die, don’t let it die
Fighting a war for freedom, this ain’t goodbyе
Mass incarceration rules the land
Even when there is no blood on their hands
Just say no, you won’t have to go
Anti drug abuse act, targeting blacks
Cause nothing’s worse than crack
The more people go to private prisons
More money lines the owners’ wallets
An obvious incentive to imprison more people
But all of our politicians are afraid to call it
The percentage of Americans in prisons has more than tripled since 1985
Yeah they’re comin’ to stop you don’t turn around, don’t turn around
You can’t run away, jump into the fray
This is how it all begins don’t let it die, don’t let it die
Fighting a war for freedom, this ain’t goodbye
Yeah they’re comin’ to stop you don’t turn around, don’t turn around
You can’t run away, jump into the fray
This is how it all begins don’t let it die, don’t let it die
Fighting a war for freedom, this ain’t goodbye
