<pre><font size='+2'>PRISONER lyrics THE LAST EMPEROR</font><br>[Chorus - X3 w/ variations]<br />
<br />
I`m just a prisoner, ohh noo<br />
<br />
(I`m just)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[Verse 1]<br />
<br />
Young man stepping off an uptown train<br />
<br />
Ground still wet from the cold hard rain<br />
<br />
Living in the city, know the streets by name<br />
<br />
Take a walk with me, come and feel my pain<br />
<br />
See what I see, come and get my glimpse<br />
<br />
Dig a little deeper that the media clips<br />
<br />
Underneath strugglers and the hardships<br />
<br />
Two bit hustlers, big time pimps<br />
<br />
Now look at little Mike, I heard he lost his dad<br />
<br />
Drank a lot of liquor, made his liver turn bad<br />
<br />
Now I see him out there serving that Yac<br />
<br />
Will he even live to be a high school grad?<br />
<br />
But see that lady named old Ms. Givens<br />
<br />
Who used to serve lunch to the homeless children<br />
<br />
Worked a lot of overtime, still got evicted<br />
<br />
Spent her last dollar on a lottery ticket<br />
<br />
I witness this from behind my gates<br />
<br />
Totally determined to decide my fate<br />
<br />
Food for thought when I`m saying my grace<br />
<br />
I wonder if I ever will escape this place<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[Chorus] X2<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[Verse 2]<br />
<br />
Now I done seen a lot of things in this town<br />
<br />
Cry me a river like the tears of a clown<br />
<br />
Made me familiar with the sites and sounds<br />
<br />
To hit ya with the rhythm so you gotta get down<br />
<br />
Shake off the blues to forget my past<br />
<br />
Forget that I`m a prisoner but still I`m trapped<br />
<br />
Stack a little cash, have a little stash<br />
<br />
You either rich or poor, ain`t no middle class<br />
<br />
Man I`m trying to get it any way I choose<br />
<br />
Come around the way and walk a day in my shoes<br />
<br />
Same neighborhood where I paid my dues<br />
<br />
And you can see the homies on the late night news<br />
<br />
Why they out thugging trying to fire them guns<br />
<br />
Don`t the realize that they mama`s need sons<br />
<br />
Abusing their lives like it`s gotta be done<br />
<br />
Young black male that society shuns<br />
<br />
If everything we do is so clean and so fresh<br />
<br />
Then why have we become such a people oppressed<br />
<br />
You say you don`t care, hate it you I guess<br />
<br />
It`s a living nightmare, but its where I rest<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[Chorus] X2<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[Verse 3]<br />
<br />
Now prison is a place full of cold hard facts<br />
<br />
Where even the innocent might get trapped<br />
<br />
Run down housing overcome by crack<br />
<br />
The teachers can`t even get a good contract<br />
<br />
If it ain`t the cats doing they hard bids<br />
<br />
Or the mama`s out working on the graveyard shifts<br />
<br />
If it ain`t the artists who display our gifts<br />
<br />
Then tell me who the hell is gonna save our kids<br />
<br />
Preacher man tell me, can it get any worse?<br />
<br />
Don`t the Lord love us, are we really just cursed?<br />
<br />
With the hunger and thrist while I`m saying my grace<br />
<br />
I pray for the day we can escape this place<br />
<br />
Yeah<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

Prisoner lyrics

Send "Prisoner" Ringtone to your Cell

[Chorus - X3 w/ variations]

I`m just a prisoner, ohh noo

(I`m just)

[Verse 1]

Young man stepping off an uptown train

Ground still wet from the cold hard rain

Living in the city, know the streets by name

Take a walk with me, come and feel my pain

See what I see, come and get my glimpse

Dig a little deeper that the media clips

Underneath strugglers and the hardships

Two bit hustlers, big time pimps

Now look at little Mike, I heard he lost his dad

Drank a lot of liquor, made his liver turn bad

Now I see him out there serving that Yac

Will he even live to be a high school grad?

But see that lady named old Ms. Givens

Who used to serve lunch to the homeless children

Worked a lot of overtime, still got evicted

Spent her last dollar on a lottery ticket

I witness this from behind my gates

Totally determined to decide my fate

Food for thought when I`m saying my grace

I wonder if I ever will escape this place

[Chorus] X2

[Verse 2]

Now I done seen a lot of things in this town

Cry me a river like the tears of a clown

Made me familiar with the sites and sounds

To hit ya with the rhythm so you gotta get down

Shake off the blues to forget my past

Forget that I`m a prisoner but still I`m trapped

Stack a little cash, have a little stash

You either rich or poor, ain`t no middle class

Man I`m trying to get it any way I choose

Come around the way and walk a day in my shoes

Same neighborhood where I paid my dues

And you can see the homies on the late night news

Why they out thugging trying to fire them guns

Don`t the realize that they mama`s need sons

Abusing their lives like it`s gotta be done

Young black male that society shuns

If everything we do is so clean and so fresh

Then why have we become such a people oppressed

You say you don`t care, hate it you I guess

It`s a living nightmare, but its where I rest

[Chorus] X2

[Verse 3]

Now prison is a place full of cold hard facts

Where even the innocent might get trapped

Run down housing overcome by crack

The teachers can`t even get a good contract

Or the mama`s out working on the graveyard shifts

If it ain`t the artists who display our gifts

Then tell me who the hell is gonna save our kids

Preacher man tell me, can it get any worse?

Don`t the Lord love us, are we really just cursed?

With the hunger and thrist while I`m saying my grace
