The ?? significance of uhh, the prison moratorium project
throughout hip-hop culture, rap music, gets play
in terms of being able to both be truthtelling
soul-searching as well as witness-bearing
Out here in the garden too much of this suffering and pain out here
but to transfigure that pain and suffering into some joy
so we can cry and have some source for struggle
Serious political.. struggle predicated on broad vision
And that's what we're really after
That's why the prison moratorium project IS, so very important
And umm, that's the big part of it
