Yo, lil' Kadeija pops his locks,

he want to pop the lock

But prison ain't nuttin' but

a private stock

And she be dreamin' bout his date of release,

she hate the police

But loved by her grandma

who hugs and kisses her

Her father's a political prisoner,

Free Fred

Son of a Panther that

the government shot dead

Back in twelve four, nineteen sixty- nine

Four o'clock in the mornin',

it's terrible but it's fine, 'cause

Fred Hampton Jr. Looks just like him

Walks just like him, talks just like him

And it might be frightenin'

the Feds and the snitches

To see him organize the gang

brothers and sisters

So he had to be framed yo,

Eighteen years,

because the five- oh said so

They said he set a fire to an Arab store

But he ignited the minds

of the young black and poor

You ain't gotta be locked up to be in prison


Look how we livin',

Up in the bing, standard routine

They put us in a box just like our life

on the blocks

You ain't gotta be locked

up to be in prison

Look how we livin',

thirty thousand niggas a day

Up in the bing, standard routine

They put us in a box just like our life
