Mind Control Acoustic

0

[Verse 1: Stephen Marley]
What am I doing behind these iron bars
Never robbed nor killed, never done no one harm
You put me in shackles, you place I in chains
Said I’ll never see the outside again
[Verse 2: Julian Marley]
I’m a prisoner locked up for what
Freedom of speech ain’t that all we’ve got
Wounded pride my head held up high
Rebels for life we rebel for the right
[Verse 3: Stephen Marley]
Let me out, let me out
I’m an angry lion
Let me out, let me out
I’m an angry lion
Let me out, let me out
I’m an angry lion
Let me out, let me out
Oh you crazy mother
[Verse 4: Mr. Cheeks]
Took my freedom, my honor, my pride
To provide for my family I tried
Gots to prepare, cuz listen
We’s here for the ride
Vision’s blocked cause we locked inside
Iron bars
[Chorus: Mr. Cheeks]
Took my freedom, my honor, my pride
To provide for the family I tried
Gots to prepare, cuz listen
We’s here for the ride
Vision’s blocked cause we locked inside, Iron bars
Yo I was caught in the mix with nowhere to go
Rent need to be paid things moving slow
I just want to get a deal and spit this flow
See ain’t that the dream to live well and get dough
You looking for a change man there ain’t no changing
This money, this gun, this drug exchanging
And if you got seeds that makes you go even harder
If it ain’t for them man then why even bother
[Verse 5: Stephen Marley]
You must think say man a sprat
Ain’t no back and belly rat
Well man a lion, yeah
You must think say man a sprat
Don’t play no back and belly rat
Well man a lion, yeah
Man a lion
[Chorus: Mr. Cheeks]
Took my freedom, my honor, my pride
To provide for my family I tried
Gots to prepare, cuz listen
We’s here for the ride
Vision’s blocked cause we locked inside. iron bars
Took my freedom, my honor, my pride
To provide for the family I tried
Gots to prepare, cuz listen
We’s here for the ride
Vision’s blocked cause we locked inside
[Verse 6: Spragga Benz]
Wanna take away my freedom wanna take away my life
Lock me up, fi what?
Likkle sensimilia and a knife
So who a go feed mi youth dem eeh who a go care mi wife
You a gwan like ghetto people n’ have no rights
Yow, you better let me out or else we gonna bruk out of here
Ghetto pickney we a go load dem in a truck out of here
You see any Rasta youth and need to pluck out a hair
You luck out a here you got to duck out of here
Cause like a vampire a lot of blood you suck out of here
You tek way every cent and every buck out of here
And lock we up in a yu prison fi wi work out of here
We a go bruk down all the wall and get the fuck out of here
