[00:00.0]Uncle Bobby and Jason Keaton - Kendrick Lamar (肯德里克·拉马尔)
[00:11.57]I was sitting on the couch reading yellow paper
[00:14.68]A letter in reply
[00:15.95]7 days later after I wrote 'em
[00:18.9]"Stay strong keep your faith in God " what I told him
[00:21.78]Hoping that he's listening
[00:23.2]Said that they tried to give him
[00:24.79]Like a hundred years
[00:26.26]What a coincidence I was bumping some Plies
[00:29.63]I can taste the salt from my tears
[00:32.15]As the water had start to flood on my eyes
[00:34.37]I know it gotta be hard being 21
[00:37.94]Doing time in the pen and your Gram's old
[00:40.01]Your brother's getting older
[00:41.14]And the streets is getting colder
[00:42.9]And your hoping
[00:43.59]That he's focused to stay on the right road
[00:45.84]Sleeping in a cell it's been 30 weeks
[00:48.47]Ain't recieved any mail
[00:49.8]It's cold and the hole stinks
[00:51.46]And you can't even blink without niggas testing your life
[00:54.15]As I read every word that you write I can only imagine
[00:59.92]Jason Keaton I can only imagine
[01:09.63]Life's about decisions man
[01:12.0]It's in your hand and you got it
[01:15.1]Just take control if you can
[01:17.58]It's in your hand and you got it
[01:20.29]Sitting on the couch that was my Uncle Bobby
[01:23.03]After he just got out 15 years to count
[01:25.47]Haven't seen the world in so long
[01:27.29]Haven't seen a girl in so long
[01:29.53]And before the sun came up he was gone
[01:31.89]Like a fiend off the best rock
[01:33.490005]Trying to get his life together or what not
[01:36.78]Typed his name in the system
[01:38.15]And they couldn't find his identity
[01:39.79]Got it straight got a place
[01:41.36]Found some serenity
[01:42.64]Found a job
[01:43.47]Found his Mother's grave site
[01:44.869995]Found a 40 ounce
[01:46.04]Then he found God
[01:47.34]Then he bounced
[01:48.21]Then he found a new chick
[01:49.5]Two kids wide hips
[01:50.75]Found something in her we didn't see
[01:53.08]Found this spot in Pasadena and shack with her
[01:55.380005]An investment
[01:57.06]Then found guilty
[01:58.03]Somebody had yelled domestic
[01:59.8]Violence on my Uncle
[02:01.19]Was working with two strikes
[02:02.48]Only out a year now facing life

[02:17.67]Life's about decisions man
[02:20.01]It's in your hand and you got it
[02:23.26]Just take control if you can
[02:25.72]It's in your hand and you got it
[02:28.12]Sitting on the couch
[02:29.47]Thinking about the ratio
[02:30.70999]Of blacks in prison as compact in prison
[02:33.25]When blacks pack with minorities
[02:35.35]System grab more of these 18 year olds
[02:38.05]18 year sentence with no parole
[02:40.91]The state won't oversee
[02:42.27]They make the term severe a conspiracy
[02:45.02]That's what I call it
[02:46.23]It's full of shit
[02:47.2]A toilet can help quick
[02:48.45999]The government help
[02:49.41]No just put us on death row
[02:51.28]Just give us some more guns
[02:52.47]Then give us some more coke
[02:54.09]Then give us another chair
[02:55.33]Then give us some more rope
[02:56.95999]Then hang it like right there yeah
[02:59.15]It's justice for all but 90 percent unfair
[03:02.0]Care No
[03:03.29]Alcatraz was purchased by a white man
[03:05.63]For 5 grand with intentions to expand
[03:08.38]More prisons
[03:08.98]So these correctionals ain't for rehabilitation
[03:11.01]They for grossing a bigger business
[03:13.46]Imagine
[03:16.41]We're being used
[03:19.33]Imagine
[03:23.07]The truth shall be told
[03:25.74]Life's about decisions man
[03:28.16]It's in your hand and you got it
[03:31.43]Just take control if you can
[03:33.84]It's in your hand and you got it
