I know it sounds new,
and you may have never heard of it before,
But its been goin on since before '84.
Its been this way since we've been free,
since tha beginnig of time for you and me,
and by tha end of this rhyme, maybe then you'll see.
Ever heard of it?
Not tha rampart or water gate,
this problem actually has no name to date,
So I like to call it tha HomeBoi Skandal,
Hear what I say, Its really quite simple,
here's tha example:
Boiz becoming men are generally tha first to sample,
and experience tha full wrath of tha downward spiral i've come to call tha HomeBoi Scandal.
One wrong choice led to a monstrous mistake,
as a result- my freedom they take and
in a 6 by 9 each new day I wake.
My debt to society I grudgingly pay,
giving them my time for little to no pay.
Most get years, some just a few days,
finally done, here comes my release day-
in which they slap me with yet another bill I must pay.
Nothing left to say I go on about my way,
I gotta report to my P.O by tha end of tha day, and
I coulda bout guessed what she had ta say.
I got bills and fines, they call it restitution,
So now I gotta get a job to send money to some institution.
But what job gone hire me having just been released from state custody,
Last known address says correctional facility,
but if I dont comply, or on my application I lie,
Its back to that cell that represents my own personal hell,
But because of this charge I cant get no job,
so in tha end I'm right back in tha pen,
serving time all over again.
I violated my parole, because I couldn't get a gig.
The HomeBoi Skandal-
some phuked up shyt ta get caught up in,
But that's their grand design- ta put us all in chains again,
Tha HomeBoi Skandal done phuked up many men!
