    The end of the Reagan Era, I'm like number twelver

    Old enough to understand the shit'll change forever

    They declared the war on drugs like a war on terror

    But what it really did was let the police terrorize whoever

    But mostly black boys, but they would call us "niggas"

    And lay us on our belly, while they fingers on they triggers

    They boots was on our head, they dogs was on our crotches

    And they would beat us up if we had diamonds on our watches

    And they would take our drugs and money, as they pick our pockets

    I guess that that's the privilege of policing for some profit

    But thanks to Reaganomics, prisons turned to profits

    Cos free labor is the cornerstone of US economics

    Cos slavery was abolished, unless you are in prison

    You think I am bullshitting, then read the 13th Amendment

    Involuntary servitude and slavery it prohibits

    That's why they giving drug offenders time in double digits

Amen.

Here's a Kent St/Jackson St 50th anniversary remembrance that touches on the origins of the so called "Reagan democrats," an all too familiar set in my neck of the woods. Worth a read.
