Calloused
Wear the badge with honor
While you serve and protect
While enforcing laws that from the start
Were made to oppress
White collar criminals getting less and less time
While minor drug offenders rot in cells
For most of their lives
It's okay to crash the market
Turn it around, and do it again
But sell a dime of pot on the corner
And say goodbye to family and friends
They're putting cuffs on the wrong guy
But that's okay when you can cash the check
For every cot you fill
No victim, no crime
Innocents sent to do hard time
No justice, no peace
Minimum sentence with no release
No victim, no crime
Private prisons on public dime
No justice, no peace
Do these lives mean nothing?
Senseless executions all for nothing
Stop and frisk, don't resist
Just do what you're told
Stop and frisk, don't resist
Just do what you're told
No victim, no crime
Innocents sent to do hard time
No justice, no peace
Minimum sentence with no release
No victim, no crime
Private prisons on public dime
No justice, no peace
Do these lives mean nothing?
Freedom's exchanged for corporate gain
Substituting justice for a set of chains
Incarcerated from the day they were born
Insurrection until there is reform
No victim, no crime
Innocents sent to do hard time
No justice, no peace
Minimum sentence with no release
No victim, no crime
Private prisons on public dime
No justice, no peace
Do these lives mean nothing?
They're putting cuffs on the wrong guy
Keep up the school to prison pipeline
They're putting cuffs on the wrong guy
To keep their filthy pockets lined
While you serve and protect
While enforcing laws that from the start
Were made to oppress
White collar criminals getting less and less time
While minor drug offenders rot in cells
For most of their lives
It's okay to crash the market
Turn it around, and do it again
But sell a dime of pot on the corner
And say goodbye to family and friends
They're putting cuffs on the wrong guy
But that's okay when you can cash the check
For every cot you fill
No victim, no crime
Innocents sent to do hard time
No justice, no peace
Minimum sentence with no release
No victim, no crime
Private prisons on public dime
No justice, no peace
Do these lives mean nothing?
Senseless executions all for nothing
Stop and frisk, don't resist
Just do what you're told
Stop and frisk, don't resist
Just do what you're told
No victim, no crime
Innocents sent to do hard time
No justice, no peace
Minimum sentence with no release
No victim, no crime
Private prisons on public dime
No justice, no peace
Do these lives mean nothing?
Freedom's exchanged for corporate gain
Substituting justice for a set of chains
Incarcerated from the day they were born
Insurrection until there is reform
No victim, no crime
Innocents sent to do hard time
No justice, no peace
Minimum sentence with no release
No victim, no crime
Private prisons on public dime
No justice, no peace
Do these lives mean nothing?
They're putting cuffs on the wrong guy
Keep up the school to prison pipeline
They're putting cuffs on the wrong guy
To keep their filthy pockets lined
