I served my time like a man 
Get up and take a stand 
My life is in your hands 
And that ain't right 

(it ain't easy) 
I don't want no complications, no isolation, (it aint easy, no no) 
I'm just doin my time 
(it ain't easy) it ain't easy when your facin incarceration for a victimless crime (it ain't easy) 

Now I've seen a lot of people who got it worse than me 
Strugglin to survive, fightin just to feel free 
Incarcerated over dealin with a plant 
Or standing up for themselves for dealin with the man 
Its hard to think in a world of today 
That people get locked away for a victimless crime 
Doin serious time we must be out of our minds 
We need to stand up and get the laws refined 
Its up to us to stop writtin the tracks 
Start demanding the facts make the right decision 
A country run by the people was americas vision 
A democratic society where we're in a positon 
Thats why we have the right to vote 
But look what happened 
We legalize weed and the governments laughin 
Bush is still in office so we still in iraq 
We need to open up our eyes and take the power back 

I served my time like a man 
Get up and take a stand 
My life is in your hands 
And that ain't right 

In this world its all contained 
From time to time we all make mistakes 
Sometimes in life you cant catch a break 
Living hand to mouth going day to day 
And your personal lives start to get you down 
And there's not enough goodness to spread around 
All the views of the world start sleepin in 
And the sides of the walls start creepin in 
Now your thinkin crazy thoughts of desperation 
And your faced what you dont want to be facin 
Situations, sticky situations 
Freedom dead now incareration 

How come the government can send us to fight 
But i cant do the things that i want like smoke a pipe 
Its punishment, crazy and people lose their rights 
Over something so simple that grows from the sky 
Keep askin my self the same old questions 
No answers just a bunch of complications 
Its confusin but oh well 
This lifes a trip with so many stories to tell
