Convict Colony - Saul Williams

The legion is on fire!

The legion is on fire!

The legion is on fire!

I was born

In a convict colony

And I was torn

From the land that mothered me

Mother, may I?

She said, «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

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!

If 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

You don’t really want it!

You don’t really want it!

You don’t really want it!

You don’t really want it!

You don’t really want it!

You don’t really want it!

You don’t really want it!

You don’t really want it!

You don’t really want it!

You don’t really want it!

You don’t really want it!

You don’t really want!
