Saul Williams - Convict Colony

i was born
in a convict colony
and i was torn
from the land
that mothered me
mother may i

she says 'yes you may'
well, today i
i say right here today

you're a convict colony
if you're running
from the sun

you're a convict colony
a convict colony
and you don't really want it

i was birthed
from the earth
fought my way
to this day

now i'm grown
truth be told
i'll be here
'til you're gone

you're a convict colony
if you're running
from the sun

you're a convict colony
you're reaching
for your gun

you're a convict colony
if you're running
from the sun

you're a convict colony
a convict colony

and you don't really want it...
