Saul Williams Convict Colony Lyrics

I was born in a convict colony.
And I was torn from the land that mothered me.
Mother, may I?
She said, "Yes, you may".
Well, today I... (Declare).
I said, right here, today!
You're a Convict Colony if you're running from the sun!
You're a Convict Colony!
A Convict Colony! And you don't really want it.

I was birthed from the Earth.
Fought my way to this day.
Now, I'm grown.
Truth be told.
I'll be here, 'til you're gone.
You're a Convict Colony if you're running from the sun!
You're a Convict Colony if you're reaching for your gun!

You're a Convict Colony if you're running from the sun!
You're a Convict Colony!
A Convict Colony!
And you don't really want it.
