Midnight Jailfest

We came in late for doing time!
They’re all out of stripes
Too many crimes!
Pale blue students under the stars
While we was feastin’ ‘n’ flashin’ cards
Streets all swollen with busted joy
Bricks and bruises
The real mccoy
Police plastered in copper dives from hot forensics ‘n’ icecold trials
All you locals in this brain gang town
Go to bed and draw your curtains down!

All bets are off!
Too much at stake!
This kingdom’s done!
For heaven’s sake!
All hail the muscles that make us strong
Though every witness will prove you wrong
Latino jackpot!
A nickle’s worth of revelations ‘n’ 4 letter words
Like yankee bible comes with a gun
Bullits for Jesus!
Prayin’ for fun!
Sweet salvation all around the old canal
Let’s die for glory and live to tell!

Nothing sacred ever held in court
We’re lost in lawyers, across the board
The judge looks tired!
His verdict knows!
The jury’s waitin’ for the case to close!
There’s a spiteful twist of justice going round
Midnight jailfest going down
