From The Plantation To The Penitentiary
Wynton Marsalis
From the Plantation
To the Penitentiary
From the yassuh boss
To the ghetto minstrelsy
In the heart of freedom
In chains
In the heart of freedom
Insane
In the heart of freedom
Insane
In the heart of freedom
In chains
From the field hand cry
To the ten to twenty-five
From the 'sold-off' men
To the raised
By next-of-kin
In the cause
Of freedom and shame
In the cause
Of freedom and game
From the
'No book' rules
To the raggly
Public schools
From the coon and shine
To the unemployment line
In the land of freedom
In chains
In the land of freedom
Insane
From the work long days
To the dope
And drinking craze
From the stock in slaves
To the booming
Prison trade
In the name of freedom
Insane
In the name of freedom
And shame
In the heart of freedom
In chains
In the heart of freedom
Insane
