The body catchers who keep their weapons pointed at ya
The life subtracters, the poison animal eating slackers
Nobody move, nobody bleed as I proceed
I beg you heed this thing me talk with Junior Reid
You load your clip, you cock your shit get on your way
You're guaranteed to murder something today
From Riker's Island to Sing Sing and San Quentin
You're touring prisons, result of all that bullshitting
But now you're bitching, better sharpen up that ice pick and
Proceed to stick him or kiss your stupid ass good riddance
[Junior Reid]

Peep the gangsta man, why-oy
Of this operation, why-oy
Brutalization, why-oy
Love to the nation, why-oy
[Wise Intelligent]
True
That day they took me away they had me bound in shackles
Locked down tweleve brothers connected by the ankles
By chains we dangled imprisoned for the star spangled
Banner for glamour mad motherfucker's slammer
Just like the streets there's niggas in here wildin' out and dying
You can receive any drugs that you want to try and
The only difference between the streets and prison living
Are homosexuals, the closest you can get to women
And I ain't 'bout to demote the self and go that route
I've been here two years, one week and I want out
When will it cease, this way of death ain't fit for beasts
I fail to see a correctional facility

In the land of the rising sun

Down to Riker's Island donde
This is what I see every day, oh yeah
This is what I see every day
This is what I see every day
Life in a jailhouse, life so rough
Life in a jailhouse so tough

Poor Righteous Teachers are an American hip hop group formed in Trenton, New Jersey in 1989. The trio, consisting of Wise Intelligent, Culture Freedom and Father Shaheed, distinguished themselves for their politically charged and spiritually inspired music, blending elements of old school rap with jazz and funk influences. Wise Intelligent, considered one of the most creative MCs of our time, led the group to significant underground success. Their albums, such as "Holy Intellect" (1990) and "The 2nd Coming" (1992), introduced themes of social consciousness, racial justice and African American spirituality, influencing generations of hip hop artists that followed. Among their most representative tracks are "Rock Dis Funky Joint", "Shaolin Style" and "The 2nd Coming".
