Lyrics for I Understand

Many years old When I wished to die Ashfield is a prison Where they hide or die Rich or tumble Wear your mark Or just a pain in sin Must've been a rush to 'Cause you so much pain White nigger Black nigger People say! White nigger Black nigger What's the point in prison? White nigger Black nigger They made sure He don't see his twentieth day When you're a number You're never a name They took away his faith A candle... without a flame The lord of animals Destroy What you Don't understand
