D A
There's someone banging on my wall
D A
I turn the volume up to full
G F#m
I don't know who it is
Em D
Or why they don't like me
G F#m A
I don't feel safe in the street
[Verse 2]
D A
There's something nagging in my head
D A
I turn my body out of bed
G F#m Em D
I draw the curtains on another brand new day
G F#m A
Mrs. Jones and friend just look away
[Chorus]
D A
I'm prisoner number one
D
I won't get parole
A
(Prisoner number one)
cause I carry a gun
D A
Prisoner number one
D A
Prisoner number one
Em G
We're all prisoners
Em G
We're all prisoners
Em G A
We're all prisoners here
[Verse 3]
D A
Last thing I remember Tuesday night
D A
Is three white wonders waiting for a fight
G F#m Em D
Mrs. Jones walked past me as I lay there on our street
G F#m A
She knows I'm a black boy underneath
[Chorus]
D A
I'm prisoner number one
D
I won't get parole
A
(Prisoner number one)
cause I carry a gun
D A
Prisoner number one
D A
Prisoner number one
Em G
We're all prisoners
Em G
We're all prisoners
Em G A
We're all prisoners here
Bm G A Bm
We're all prisoners always caught
G Em A Slowing G F#m A
In the life and death of each other's thoughts
Drums Only
I'm prisoner number one Oh-oh
Prisoner number one Oh-woah-oh
Prisoner number one Oh-oh
A
Prisoner number one
[Chorus]
D A
I'm prisoner number one

I won't get parole

We're all prisoners here
