black steel

[deathboy]

cold sweating as i dwell in my cell
how long has it been? they got me sitting in a state pen

many switch in, switch on, switch off

nevertheless, they could never understand that i'm a black man
and i could never be a veteran

here was a land that never gave a damn about a brother like me and myself
i'm not a fugitive on the run
i'm not...

i got a letter
i got a letter
picture me giving a damn, i said never

it occurred to me the suckers had authority

got to get out, but that thought was thought before...
