Lyrics & Translation
English
They're tryna' build a prison
They're tryna' build a prison
Oh
Following the rights movements, you clamped down with your iron fists
Drugs became conveniently available for all the kids
Following the rights movements, you clamped down with your iron fists
Drugs became conveniently available for all the kids
I buy my crack, I smack my bitch
Right here in Hollywood
Nearly two million Americans are incarcerated
In the prison system, prison system of the U.S.
They're tryna' build a prison
They're tryna' build a prison
They're tryna' build a prison
They're tryna' build a prison
For you and me to live in
Another prison system
Another prison system
Another prison system
For you and me
Minor drug offenders fill your prisons, you don't even flinch
All our taxes paying for your wars against the new non-rich
Minor drug offenders fill your prisons, you don't even flinch
All our taxes paying for your wars against the new non-rich
I buy my crack, I smack my bitch
Right here in Hollywood
The percentage of Americans in the prison system
Prison system has doubled since 1985
They're tryna' build a prison
They're tryna' build a prison
They're tryna' build a prison
They're tryna' build a prison
For you and me to live in
Another prison system
Another prison system
Another prison system
For you and me
For you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I
They're tryna' build a prison
They're tryna' build a prison
They're tryna' build a prison for you and me
Oh, baby, you and me
Oh, oh
All research and successful drug policy
Shows that treatment should be increased
Oh
And law enforcement decreased
While abolishing mandatory minimum sentences
Oh
All research and successful drug policy
Shows that treatment should be increased
Oh
And law enforcement decreased
While abolishing mandatory minimum sentences
Utilizing drugs to pay for secret wars around the world
Drugs are now your global policy, now you police the globe
I buy my crack, my smack my bitch
Right here in Hollywood
Drug money is used to rig elections and train brutal
Corporate sponsored dictators around the world
They're tryna' build a prison
They're tryna' build a prison
They're tryna' build a prison
They're tryna' build a prison
For you and me to live in
Another prison system
Another prison system
Another prison system
For you and me
For you and I, you and I, you and I, you and me
They're tryna build a prison
They're tryna build a prison
They're tryna build a prison for you and me
Oh, baby, you and me

Prison Song (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Están tratando de construir una prisión
Están tratando de construir una prisión
Oh
Tras los movimientos por los derechos, apretaste con tus puños de hierro
Las drogas se hicieron convenientemente disponibles para todos los niños
Tras los movimientos por los derechos, apretaste con tus puños de hierro
Las drogas se hicieron convenientemente disponibles para todos los niños
Compro mi crack, golpeo a mi perra
Justo aquí en Hollywood
Casi dos millones de estadounidenses están encarcelados
En el sistema penitenciario, sistema penitenciario de los EE. UU.
Están tratando de construir una prisión
Están tratando de construir una prisión
Están tratando de construir una prisión
Están tratando de construir una prisión
Para que tú y yo vivamos
Otro sistema penitenciario
Otro sistema penitenciario
Otro sistema penitenciario
Para ti y para mí
Delincuentes menores de drogas llenan tus prisiones, ni siquiera te inmutas
Todos nuestros impuestos pagando tus guerras contra los nuevos no-ricos
Delincuentes menores de drogas llenan tus prisiones, ni siquiera te inmutas

Compro mi crack, golpeo a mi perra
Justo aquí en Hollywood
El porcentaje de estadounidenses en el sistema penitenciario
El sistema penitenciario se ha duplicado desde 1985
Están tratando de construir una prisión
Están tratando de construir una prisión
Están tratando de construir una prisión

Están tratando de construir una prisión para ti y para mí
Oh, cariño, tú y yo
Oh, oh
Toda investigación y política de drogas exitosa
Muestra que el tratamiento debería aumentarse
Oh
Y la aplicación de la ley disminuirse
Mientras se abolen las sentencias mínimas obligatorias
Oh
Toda investigación y política de drogas exitosa
Muestra que el tratamiento debería aumentarse
Oh
Y la aplicación de la ley disminuirse
Mientras se abolen las sentencias mínimas obligatorias
Utilizando drogas para pagar guerras secretas alrededor del mundo
Las drogas son ahora tu política global, ahora patrullas el globo
Compro mi crack, golpeo a mi perra
Justo aquí en Hollywood
El dinero de la droga se usa para amañar elecciones y entrenar brutales
Dictadores patrocinados por corporaciones alrededor del mundo
Están tratando de construir una prisión
Están tratando de construir una prisión
Están tratando de construir una prisión
Están tratando de construir una prisión
Para que tú y yo vivamos
Otro sistema penitenciario
