Vote 4 Democrats 2020
By Roderick O Williams
Verse #1
Elected a President that’s clearly unstable
To me it’s evident that they’re clearly unable
To protect our democracy, all they want is a monopoly
Too busy running the tables, to run the government properly
They want to fix the economy, to benefit the wealthy
And take away your healthcare, so start eating healthy
Giving welfare to the rich, but not a mother with kids
Seems like every brother that goes to court
They’re screaming off with his head
Was Jeff Sessions a racist, or was he off of his meds
Already a sea of black faces, stuck off in the feds
What about that clown the Donald, took on the Pope, man-o-man
Didn’t want blacks in his condos, and all the women he fondled
Got to vote him out pronto, him and that witch Mitch McConnell
If we stop electing racists, we’d be doing phenomenal
Who can you trust now, you see they’re corrupt now
And starting to go nuts now, with these government shutdowns
Not to cause confusion, but there was evidence of collusion
Trump called for that hack, that’s an overt act
Giving secrets to Kislyiak, a Russian Spy Recruiter
Telling Russians to hack Hillary Clinton’s computer
Pulled out the Paris Accord, embarrassing, we just can’t afford
To watch another old man crash, like Harrison Ford
Verse #2
With the prospect of minorities
Becoming the majority, flexing more authority
Became the priority, police got sadistic
More militaristic, a black teen dies horrific
Just another statistic, a Mexican mother gets deported
Left a son and a daughter behind
It ain’t quite torture, I’d say it’s about borderline
Deporting men and women, putting black people in prison
To me, that’s a war-crime, definition of ethnic cleansing
It’s never been mentioned, and I pay attention to TV
Hillary Clinton would have been President
If she chose Sanders as VP
Who ran her campaign, they need you and they need me
A new breed of candidate, because the last one handed it
To a super callous, fascist racist
Taking us back to the dark ages
Policies that fool’s pursuing, has racial hatred up and brewing
It’s idiotic, so chaotic, dangerous and unpatriotic
They’re hoping to keep us all divided
But blacks and whites we’re both united
To take back America, from racial hysteria
Hatred and Bigotry ain’t in our character
Call it evolution or a political solution
Call it the resistance or non-violent revolution
Propose legislation to end mass incarceration
Win the House and the Senate
For Slave descendants reparations
(Vote Democratic, next time it won’t be so tragic,
For race relations, put an end to mass incarceration
Political Propaganda
By Roderick O Williams
Verse #1
I high jacked the nation with political ideology
Reverse psychology without apology
Betrayed the American people
Deceived other nations. Possessed by pure evil
Air-strikes so lethal, I define what’s legal
There’s no rule of law, you didn’t see what you saw
I call it shock and awe, another Governments upheaval
Then I swoop in like an Eagle and save the day
Now I’m a super-hero, I could have just did a “D-Bo,”
But I’m too sophisticated, watch how I articulate it like its
Something to be celebrated, Hip Hip Hooray
Now look up in the sky, it’s a bird, it’s a plane
While I’m right under your nose, with my hoes and gold chains
F-16s make it rain flames, murder and maim,
Young children get slain, left orphaned in pain
I got my hand in everything, but I shift the blame
I’m the best that ever did it; I got the gift of game
I torture the competition, American prisoners
Got no mention, while Guantanamo Bay Detainees
Got all the attention, Federal mandatory minimums
And Assistant US Attorneys treated Americans so Dirty
I got political prisoners currently suffering
For eternity, in solitary confinement
You’ll wonder where the time went
Be careful how your time’s spent
Or you’ll wonder where your mind went
Searching around your prison cell screaming “Why Can’t I find it”
While they deteriorate mentally I pray upon their family
I don‘t give a damn if he’s pushed past insanity
I’m always right like Shawn Hannity
I’ll put a bounty on your head
An entire county on your head
Until you unravel, a judge’s gavel
Will be pounding on your head
I’m the world dominator, to me, all of ya’ll scared
I’m the human rights protector
I got the whole world misled
Modern Day Slavery
By Roderick O. Williams
These people are still racist, prisons packed like slave ships,
bring visions back of times, when they whipped our backs for crimes
and you don’t know what it’s like; you’ve never been a slave,
It’s not embedded in your psyche, or written on your grave,
or upon your tombstone, we feel it in our bones,
when we’re locked in chains, flowing through our veins,
is blood cells, with cell memories from past lives,
my people are still searching for freedom,
that’s why we are living these fast lives,
trying to run away from slavery, here in this modern day,
people getting locked up for nothing,
we’re still trying to get away.
How can I make you understand this, if I barely do?
they just label us criminals, but that’s rarely true,
we don’t have to necessarily do, a crime to wind up in prison,
be convicted, and it be sustained,
spend the rest of our lives in chains, but ya’ll ain’t listening….
Black in America
By Roderick O. Williams
I’m black in America; the odds are against me,
but I survived, even thrived, amongst people who used to lynch me,
thought I was living the dream, until the feds pinched me,
and put me behind bars, in a federal penitentiary,
sentenced me, to a quarter century, now when people mention me,
It’s past tense, like I’m ancient history,
they’re trying to get rid of me, and others of my pedigree,
the feds target us frequently, and charge us with Conspiracy,
but they’re hypocritical, and it’s all political,
got to give them credit though, this isn’t hypothetical,
the North won the Civil War; the South never let it go,
Now the House and the Senate, Captains and lieutenants,
prosecutors and judges, they’re giving winks, nods, and nudges,
they’re still holding grudges; we think it’s copacetic though,
take one or two of us, put us on a pedestal,
while thousands disappear, hunted down, captured,
friends and family left behind, like it’s the end of times rapture….
Generational Damage
By Roderick O. Williams
They lock us away, give us a date,
So far in the future, it perpetuates,
Generations of poverty, it also creates,
Dysfunctional families and children
that hate, the father’s not home,
He’s gone ‘til they’re grown,
They got to be strong, all on their own,
Sent us to Prison, left them alone,
Then wonder why, their heart’s made of stone
Color-Blind
By Roderick O. Williams
Like the parents of a slave child, sold to a different master,
We’re torn from our families, resulting in disaster,
Yeah, we’re having kids out of wed-lock,
But, how many fathers do the feds got,
Knowing the father’s the bedrock, of the family.
And the family is the bedrock, of society.
Put a suspect in a headlock, now he’s in shellshock,
Tell him he’s got to betray his people are wind up in a cell block
Cocaine residue and a joint of marajuana
Gave me more prison time, than the Dirty Bomber
And John Walker Lindh, I got more time than him,
Wasn’t he fighting for the Taliban, training in Afghanistan?
I’m African American, my girlfriend looks like Jennifer Aniston
I know it’s no coincidence; we get long prison sentences,
For crimes that ain’t crimes, the judge ain’t color blind,
He gave me 20 years, for drugs that ain’t mines….
21st Century Injustice in the USA
By Roderick Ondra WilliamsWe’re brought in front of a judge, just like a human sacrifice, they give us so much prison time, you can do some in the after life, your guilt or your innocence, don’t really matter half the time, release you when you past your prime, another black mastermind, threw off in the trash heap, now that’s deep, my 3 year old’s scared of police, he can’t sleep, incarcerated ourselves into a recession, if you ask me, locking up resources, isn’t good for the economy, white women are very fond of me, so I am a danger to the community. Might as well put a sign on me, saying arrest me with impunity, robbed of opportunity, lot’s of prison time, they ruined me, constantly pursuing me, for things as small as blowing weed, if I’m in a prison cell, you know I’m not going to breed, keep us all from sewing seeds, the devil man, he sure deceives, racism is a cold disease, like dictators from overseas, the fix is in election day, only thing I know relates, is the federal courts, conviction rate, percentage rate, near ninety-eight, who can afford that risk to take, exercise your right to trial and get hit with a science-fiction date. Innocent people capitulate, under the weight of the united states, my Nike’s laced, I’m fighting my case, no matter how much time it takes, had my mama, crying lakes, I’ll never give in to these lying snakes, Lord forgive me for my mistakes, you know I’m only human, forgive these racist judges too, for they know not what they’re doing.
A Circus of Injustice
By Roderick Ondra Williams
Verse #1
Shackled like a slave, imprisoned 20 years in a cage,
Because a D.E.A said, he seen a drug transaction,
He said, he seen it with his own eyes, but it was all lies,
He couldn’t find drugs, so he fabricated a scenario,
Just murdered the constitution, without giving it a proper burial,
Kidnapped at gunpoint, but all they found was one joint,
I said, “Don’t touch me, I’m an American Citizen,
This is a free country and I like to roll up my medicine,”
They checked my nose and found a little residue,
And it was part cocaine, part nasal membrane,
Like I keep telling you, I got a big game, like Rick James,
I party all the time, but I wasn’t doing no big thangs,
I can’t believe the extent, they went to have me in big chains,
Like Django, Wrist and ankles, swollen getting mangled,
Another black man framed, that’s shameful, …
You can lock me away, but not my brain though,
I hit the prison law library, conducted extensive legal research,
Told family members, to make protest signs,
And “FREE Roderick Williams” T-Shirts,
Now go in front of the Court house, and put it on YouTube,
Let these people know, that they done locked up a Guru,
Make it go viral, try to stream it on Hulu,
I don’t know, what you’re used to, but I don’t sit around
And boo, hoo, and when it’s all over, you damn right
We gone sue too, the feds just messed up,
They done stepped in some boo boo,
Verse #2
They said, “in a manner unacceptable to the public,
The defendant conspired to get money with other subjects,
All being in violation of laws governing the United States,
He flaunted around in other towns ,with out of state
License plates, causing local females to perform fellatio,
At a very high ratio, not to mention premarital sex, and the
majority of it interracial,” I was the criminal defendant
With more integrity than the whole court, they had
To railroad me, because I was, taking no shorts,
My lawyer was mad at me, thought I was trying to show him up
Like laws were gang signs, I’d get in the Court and throw them up, and
at the same time alleging misconduct, even though they hid it,
I got crimes committed, by the government documented,
I’m pushing paper, filing motions to dismiss
And to withdraw my attorney, because he refuses to assist,
The Government’s paying him, and they’re paying the Judge too,
It’s three friends and a stranger, and the stranger is guess who,
A cover up, they covered up evidence of my innocence,
And brought up old skeletons, like my innocence had no relevance,
Insulting my intelligence, they said to hell with the constitution,
part of some right wing extremists, political revolution,
Verse #3
There was more prosecutor misconduct, than
The Senator Ted Stevens case, one of the biggest
Prosecutor misconduct scandals, in the history of
Our nation, I wrote complaint after complaint to the
Different Bar-Associations, three years later, every
News Paper in America, said these same prosecutors
Had destroyed a Senator’s character, this is a true
Story, look it up on your computer, type in “Tables
Turn on the Ted Stevens Prosecutors,” Go online,
To the New York Times, April 8th, 2009, read it,
“Prosecutors, under investigation,” well, two of
Them, were mine, it’s true, I caught them lying,
I used to scream it, with profanity, because
I knew I was right, like Bill O’Reilly and
Shawn Hannity, they lack humanity, they arrested
My whole family, so much calamity, I almost
Pled insanity, suspicious deaths, I suffered
Silently, I do my best, to address, these
Issues non-violently, Now I write to free my people,
Somebody’s gotta do it, locked in a cell, secured in a unit,
Surrounded on a compound, with guards all around,
Inside several gates, high fences, and big walls, razor
Wire, gun towers, and pit falls, before I can free
Myself I have to free the truth, I was wrongly
Convicted, and I have proof
“Justice Denied”
By Roderick Ondra Williams
There’s outrage in the community,
Some cop using their badge as an opportunity,
To kill black people with impunity
Because he had a cellphone, or reached for his waistband,?
We’re running out of patience, with these same justifications,
These lame investigations, that favor law enforcement,
Like our lives aren’t important, and when we have these
Conversations, our positions are distorted,
Nobody’s saying all cops are crooked,
That’s just how you took it,
What we’re saying is, we’re astonished, that the bad ones don’t get punished
And shocked they’re not admonished, when there’s evidence they’re dishonest
It doesn’t take Nostradamus to predict the outcome,
When there’s only two witnesses, and police took out one,
We keep asking how come, and here’s the real story,
Police, Prosecutors, and Judges, all abuse their Authority,
What the public doesn’t know, well, at least not the majority,
Is these Judges let abuses slide, some of them take the police’s side,
Just to protect the police’s pride, they’ll lie and deny,
and let an innocent man fry, imagine doing 20 to life,
Because the police lied, and the whole time begging for
Justice, only to get denied.
Solutions
By Roderick Ondra Williams
Police complaints should be put online
If police are public servants
Then they won’t mind,
We can look up their history
What do you think we’re gonna find. Ruthless racists, being exposed
As wolves in sheep’s clothes
By cellphone videos
Have them take a lie detector
When you hire a detective,
One objective, on top of being effective Is to make sure they aren’t racists
Or falsifying cases
Polygraph test them on a regular basis
Call the United States Congress
Keep it on their conscience
Cops killing blacks, seems to
Have turned into a contest
Where they win a “paid vacation”
And we put up with that nonsense
It’s like having a conversation about race relations
Without the consideration of mass incarceration
Wrongful convictions, unreasonable suspicions
And the destruction of black families in the Criminal Justice System.
Tyranny
By Roderick Ondra Williams
In the land of the free, they put us UNDER SURVEILLANCE,
they lock down, whole town’s NOW,
When they’re chasing assailants, it’s tyranny,
and OPPRESSION, like VOTER SUPPRESSION,
Put us in Federal CORRECTIONS, so we can’t vote in elections,
Violate Constitutional PROTECTIONS,
We’re caught with “no dope,”
Charged with “Ghost dope,”
and we have “No Hope,”
For a fair trial,
Because these lawyers are dump trucks delivering us up,
to a Prosecutor’s Misconduct,
And these Judges are RACISTS
they’re Rubber-Stamping cases,
To fill up bed spaces,
The WORST is fed CASES,
Shipped off to different PLACES,
Surrounded by head cases,
It’s all so NEGATIVE,
And REPETITIVE,
2 thousand miles away from my NEAREST relatives.
Be Grateful
By Roderick Ondra Williams
My pockets were fat, now they’re flatter than a flapjack
I went from being a Mack to getting kicked around like a hacky sack
By the feds, because they’re flipping snitches like acrobats, convicting defendants with half the facts
And then they give our ass the max I’m under attack
I’m fighting back, like I’m in the UFCI started my bid in Atwater, USP
Completely innocent, I still had no immunity
22 years, for “ghost dope,” this is lunacy
Because of jealousy and hate, persecuted at an early age
Victories, no felonies, had the state in a rage
Beat so many cases, these racists brought in the feds
State prosecutors were running out of court with their face red
22 years, on the word of one base head
But I bounce back like a handball, to count stacks and stand tall
A boss, like my man Ross
Loss pros, cause they ran off
In prison growing old and gray like I was Gandolf
Be grateful for every breath that you take
Every day that you’re awake
Every dime that you make
Be grateful for every moment on this planet
Now I understand that
I took it all for granted
I was already grieving because my mama died
You can call it natural causes but it looked like a homicide
They locked me up when I was already traumatized
And getting bad vibes from all the women that I womanized
And I apologize, they didn’t deserve it
Forgive me baby, none of us is perfect
I appealed to the Supreme Court and the Ninth Circuit
Denied!
Around the same time my son died
And both sisters passed away
Now it’s like I’m a castaway
It’s like every other day
They’re calling me down to the chaplain
I’m not sure what’s happening
It’s like my whole life’s unraveling
Prisoners grappling
Shanks long like a javelin
They locked me in the black box, while traveling, like I might stab them
18 hours on a bus, shackled and handcuffed
I went from pros everywhere, nose in the air
Legendary player, how did I wind up here?
I swear in my despair, I became spiritually aware
I turned to prayer and god was there
Found out I had another son when I was a teenager
Read my prosecutors were corrupt on the front of newspapers
Wrote books you normally won’t see in the media
With more knowledge and wisdom about the system than encyclopedias
The feds is devious these haters they still hate
But I’m walking in faith so I still feel like Bill Gates
The Struggle
By Roderick Ondra Williams
Man, it’s so evil, how they do my People,
It’s a different form of SLAVERY,
but SLAVERY’S still legal,
Because the U.S CONSTITUTION,
13th AMENDMENT,
Left a loophole to ENSLAVE,
SLAVE DESCENDANTS,
It SAYS ONCE their CONVICTED,
CRIMINAL defendants, can be held in bondage,
And it’s rarely acknowledged,
that there’s more BLACK men in PRISON,
than there is in college,
You’ve witnessed the UNFAIRNESS,
It’s been brought to YOUR awareness,
BLACKS get MORE “time” than terrorists,
And you act like you could care less, now people of all RACES,
Are ensnared by these SAME LAWS, Brothers and SISTERS IN THE STRUGGLE,
We should be fighting for the SAME CAUSE …
