[truth1disciple]

The question we all need to ask ourselves is, how many today, possibly even you and I are prisoners. Not literally being locked up in some corrrectional facility, but imprisoned in our minds. Are you imprisoned to another person? The man or lady that you say you love but in reality you lust? Imprisoned to your material things, money, etc. Let us keep it real, look at our world today. Who are what is causing the masses of the world to be "fooled" into believing that their minds are free? THINK?

As a african in this country why the powers that be don't want us to be a family the laws don't work at all. Jail is not the way for us as a people the making money we have to change our thinking now.Trust me on this they build jails more than schools even our history is not teaching the truth or now at all how we could build our community strong ? We have to break this slave mindset its a start but we have to deal with ones whom want us to be lockup think about that peace.

[Finale8]

Heres the first half of this super song =)

*Intro* - Attention, the following inmates when names are called will be transferred due to overcrowded conditions - What am I doing here? I've been serving time for five long years, got no trial in sight, this justice they all talk about just ain't right..

[Finale8]

has everybody forgotten about me? Will I ever, ever ever be free? I'm just a prisoner ohh lord.. just a prisoner (x8) I am.. I thought a man was innocent until he's proven guilty, ain't been no jury to judge me, how long must I pay for the wrong I've done, I'm a victim of the circumstance you see

[Finale8]

has everybody forgotten about me? Will I ever, will I ever see my family? I'm just a prisoner ohh lord, just a prisoner (x2) I'm telling the truth.. M'wife and my kids, I know they miss me, the baby just 5 years old and she don't even know who her daddy is, lord..

[Finale8]

the cell is cold as hell, you could never get used to the smell, my bed is hard as wood, I gotta fight, fight, fight to keep my manhood.. Seem like everybody (x4) forgotten about me, will I ever, ever ever be free? Uhh, uhh uhhh..

[Gr8LilLady]

The main sample for the second beat on 'Face Off' is actually from another Billy Paul song called 'It's Too Late'

[rettersvess]

[Adaviri]

Astonishing, simply astonishing. The lyrics are delivered with such emotion and experience, filled with both.

[mynumberonehat]

[bigdaryle]

This song is about as sad as a song could ever be. No one put more emotion into his songs than Billy Paul!!!!

[scoota111]

Yeah, he truly was a beast.

[tallebonyman]

Very good song with meaningful lyrics. One of Billy Paul's best vocal deliveries.
