"But thanks to Reaganomics, prison turned to profits

'Cause free labor's the cornerstone of US economics

'Cause slavery was abolished, unless you are in prison

You think I am bullshittin', then read the 13th Amendment

Involuntary servitude and slavery it prohibits

That's why they givin' drug offenders time in double digits."

Killer Mike - Reagan

Few months ago, I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages.

My heart and my best intentions still tell me that's true.

But the facts and the evidence tell me it is not.
