wilkes county - moon bandits lyrics

we were in wilkes county, georgia
on our way to california
we were stopped by a man in blue
he asked us where we were off to
when we told him where we were from
he told us what he knew of the land of the sun
told us it was filled with those types
mostly the type that he didn’t like
woah! woah! woah!
then he used some words that i will not say
when talking about folks from other racеs
told us that the only good thing
that ever happеned in california
was when a young black man got his ass beat down
by his fellows in blue on the payment ground
it was the los angeles police department taking down rodney king
woah! woah! woah!
now i know it pained him to bring white men in
but causalities of war are bound to happen
besides, we were from the west coast and we had a quarter pound of swag
when they shut us in that cell and we looked around that h*ll
we couldn’t help but notice everyone was black
you could tell there was something shady going on in wilkes county, georgia
woah! woah! woah!
now we made some friends that say we’d be fine
said that white boys round here don’t do no time
yeah, you just got to wait, you’ll see
sure enough, couple weeks later
we were walking outta jail just as free as can be
no charges, no charges for me
woah! woah! woah!
this sh*t happens everyday
white folks get off
black and brown folks pay
while i realize the drug war has victims of every race
you gotta look deeper at the prison system
so you could see the new jim crow vision
as they say, stop looking at the wires, start looking at the cage
woah! woah! woah!
prisons are obsolete
