I served my time like a man 

Get up and take a stand 

My life is in your hands 

And that ain't right 



[Chorus:]

(it ain't easy) 

I don't want no complications, no isolation, (it aint easy, no no) 

I'm just doin my time 

(it ain't easy) it ain't easy when your facin incarceration for a victimless crime (it ain't easy) 



[Johnny Richter:]

Now I've seen a lot of people who got it worse than me 

Strugglin to survive, fightin just to feel free 

Incarcerated over dealin with a plant 

Or standing up for themselves for dealin with the man 

Its hard to think in a world of today 

That people get locked away for a victimless crime 

Doin serious time we must be out of our minds 

We need to stand up and get the laws refined 

Its up to us to stop writtin the tracks 

Start demanding the facts make the right decision 

A country run by the people was americas vision 

A democratic society where we're in a positon 

Thats why we have the right to vote 

But look what happened 

We legalize weed and the governments laughin 

Bush is still in office so we still in iraq 

We need to open up our eyes and take the power back 



[Chorus]



[Daddy X:]

I served my time like a man 

Get up and take a stand 

My life is in your hands 

And that ain't right 



In this world its all contained 

From time to time we all make mistakes 

Sometimes in life you cant catch a break 

Living hand to mouth going day to day 

And your personal lives start to get you down 

And there's not enough goodness to spread around 

All the views of the world start sleepin in 

And the sides of the walls start creepin in 

Now your thinkin crazy thoughts of desperation 

And your faced what you dont want to be facin 

Situations, sticky situations 

Freedom dead now incareration 



[Chorus]



[D-Loc:]

How come the government can send us to fight 

But i cant do the things that i want like smoke a pipe 

Its punishment, crazy and people lose their rights 

Over something so simple that grows from the sky 

Keep askin my self the same old questions 

No answers just a bunch of complications 

Its confusin but oh well 

This lifes a trip with so many stories to tell 



[Chorus]
