L.A.W Abiding

A brother serves jail time for a crime he did one time
One time or most times I'm never saying he's right
But he's guilty of stealing bread to save another man's life
Yet the police brought guns to arrest a man unarmed
Jabbed and slapped him down unto his knees
And all he could whisper was..... please

Please, I'm just a broke man trying to survive in these streets
No one to help and I've got younger siblings to feed
For lack of honest jobs I even turned down selling weed
But what's that worth anyways when it's only a condemned man you see.

On the elevated platform sits the man who upholds the law
Or uses it at will to hide his deeds and flaws
Today he doesn't bend the law because he's never been at fault
And even when he does he can afford an attorney
Or just wave a dollar bill and the police does his will

Who knows if the mallet he so upholds came out of his wallet

Crimes and laws will fight all day and night
But crimes will always break laws when they have the right
Because you are only condemned when it comes to light
All the laws you left broken in the shade of night.

So choose a side whiles you have a choice

But if you break the laws,...

Just don't get caught!
