There’s two kinds of rules

Rules for the man

And rules for the fools

The rules for the fools ain’t nothing but tools

To lock away the black man’s mind

So when he finds he down with a frown

Looking up from the gutter

All he can do is stutter and thinking

That’s where he belongs and stinking

Like a piece of week-old meat

In the super ghetto of defeat

And when he fails to make bail

And ends up in jail with homies for roomies

Rhyming “doing the time”

With “doing the crime”

He’s figuring that’s the ghetto theme

Instead of a scheme

Punk-tuated in some light bling-bling

And the same old thing except the

Chains is nine-karat gold

And the brother’s been told

They about bravery instead of slavery

So when the brother comes in stumbling and humbling

He thinks he’s getting a fair deal

While the real deal is that he’s just getting the fare

To whatever lockdown need some new bodies.

But the game is over

’Cause Cellblock Four is taking over

And just like these words are being spoken

We know the rules are made to be broken

Yeah, yeah, the game is over!
