I'm dead to society, I'm alive to myself
Dead to the world, alive to my girl
they can't take my eternal wealth
and they be asking me, "bro, how do you do it?"
and I tell them, bro, it's not me, but He that lives inside of me
Get away from me . . . I'm dead to society
Get away from me . . . one-of-a-kind, original, successful G
Get away from me . . . can't you see, I'm dead to society
I never saw it coming
they snatched and they kidnapped
a blindfolded injustice attack
jacked me of my youth and innocence
by two crooked detectives strapped
used the, "we only want to ask you a few questions" trap
at 17, Texas plucked me off the streets
blasted my ass off the freeworld map
on top of that
a $750,000 bond-ransom was asked
traveled the hardknock life track
straight-down the cell-life path
buried alive in bricks and bars
R.I.C., resting in chaos
on a pastic mat, where souls are stacked
trapped, in a concrete purgatory
slash, also a judicial laboratory
housing human rats, mostly minorities
the convenient excuse was crack
but we know it's bigger than that
social genocide on brown and black
I'm the system's invention
a 40 year sentence experimentation
man meets wrongful conviction
so close to death
at night, on the prison tiers
I can hear the Grim Reaper whisper
tempting me to go down deeper
must have mistook me for a follower but I'm a strong-minded leader
see my finger, it's pointing up
I'm a Believer
what you meant for bad
God meant for good
I became a new creature
my enemies fled and fell in 7 different ways but they'll never get away
the law of Karma is a bitch
I'm on a Man-on-Fire mission
I've been gone for 20 years too long
I'm an experiment gone wrong
you gave me superpowers
Shawn Ali "S" on my chest
my struggles made me immortally strong
I was mute,lost,and broke
but my painfuljourney
gave me song after song
gave me definite purpose
it's inevitable, you can't stop it, it's on
freedom, exoneration, success, money long
I'm dead to society
I'm dead to society
I'm dead to society
but I'm alive to YOU
Thank you for believeing in me
