Prison Planet by Greydon Square
Prison Planet Chorus ...You should never be surprised when you get attacked, you'll know all the freedoms they took from you when you get em back when in fact they were never yours to begin with this is a prison planet you're serving a life a sentence
enter prisoner 092881 no particular kid of interest nobody's great son so he enters the system's revolving door on day one, comes out a menace the armed forces gave a gun sent him to war without warning him the images he'd store from then on would now torture him brought his hyper awareness back to the rear a soldier who still feels active missing half of his gear, blood money they trade for his education so he can learn to describe a state with one single equation his idol Carl Sagan, his outlet hip hop he wants to be a physicist, he wants to wreck shop sittin at the pawn shop watching the clock stuck technically a free man, but still feels locked up As a result of social conditioning he actually has something to say but no one is listening
Chorus x2 ...You should never be surprised when you get attacked, you'll know all the freedoms they took from you when you get em back when in fact they were never yours to begin with this is a prison planet you're serving a life a sentence
He's institutionalized on two fronts deals with his PTSD with crude blunts the civilian reality is too much so much he hasn't left his house in 2 months his mood jumps from dealing with rude cunts attitude fronts and them asking to do brunch every morning wakes up from the same dream his fate seems, status quo the same thing with chains free to tight walk the fame beam he sabotages all the success his name brings ...it's the baggage of the guilt he walks around with the psychological scarring you can't heal with counseling feeling guilty bout the fact he actually made it, wants among the greatest while he shuns his medication munches education while he punches on the pavement cuz he hates it imprisoned by the past he's escapin'
Chorus x2 ...You should never be surprised when you get attacked, you'll know all the freedoms they took from you when you get em back when in fact they were never yours to begin with this is a prison planet you're serving a life a sentence
Another inmate who wallows in his misery ....the prison is his thoughts, the cell is his history watching as the world passes him by with every plan to escape foiled he happens to try sabotaged, by himself. he's the main saboteur he's the cellie he's the warden he's the guard at the door ...he looks at all his cell mates like their kin ...the guy he was fighting with the shank that was him-> in the same crap as him, just trying to see the outs equally as blind trying to lead each other out ...expecting every single opportunity to fall through Its like being caged but you have the key somewhere on you ...and he's tries to break the cycle but he can't -> there an unraised pent up rage he doesn't get ...and for every him, a million just like him born of war, group homes, jails and gang violence
Chorus x2 ...You should never be surprised when you get attacked, you'll know all the freedoms they took from you when you get em back when in fact they were never yours to begin with this is a prison planet you're serving a life a sentence
