Well I’m feeling fineI could’ve been doing timeWell, I’m doing fine, thank youbut I could’ve been pulling timeI know a brother man doing timeand he didn’t commit no crimeSo, thank you, I’m doing finecuz I could’ve been pulling timeI’ve been painting a picture of Angola, Louisianapictures of deals in back alleys where politicians often hideBut it’s much more important to me than Angola, LouisianaGot a lot to do with justice but more with Gary Tyler’s lifeI got a letter from his mother (that) said“Please! Say somethin to my son.”Truth is: Angola, Louisiana, you’re the oneI ain’t never been nowhere near Angola, LouisianaDown in St. Charles Parish where the sun won’t go aloneBut injustice is not confined to Angola, LouisianaIt can walk in your livin roomas long as it surrounds your homeI send love to brother Tyler, but after all is said and doneTruth is: Angola, Louisiana, you’re the oneI can’t tell a man not to defend himselfnot at this late stageI can’t tell a man he got no rights, nowherenot in this day and ageThis song may not touch a whole lot of peoplepersuaded by the truthbut take a look at what’s goin on, people’cause this all could happen to youI’ve been painting a picture of Angola, LouisianaDown in St. Charles Parish, where the sun won’t go aloneBut injustice is not confined to Angola, LouisianaWell, it can be in your living roomBrother Tyler, hold on, be strong, you’re not alone!I got a letter from his mother that said“Please, say something to my son!”Truth is: Angola, Louisiana, you’re the one
