0:01Way too many
0:04I said there's way too many
0:07And you may not be in Rikers Island
0:09You may be in Rikers Island in your own mind
0:14Nevertheless, you gotta unleash yourself
0:17Everybody, everybody
0:19(Too many)
0:21Too many niggas in Rikers Island (Yeah)
0:26Why must it be? (I said that there's too many)
0:31Too many niggas in Rikers Island (Set 'em free)
0:36Set 'em free (You know that there's too many)
0:41Too many niggas in Rikers Island (Why must it be?)
0:47Why must it be? (Too many locked up today)
0:52Too many niggas in Rikers Island (Set 'em free)
0:58Set 'em free
1:02The judge sits in the high chair
1:07While the family sits and prays
1:14Hoping judge and jury
1:18That all 12 will vote their way
1:24The boy is shaking inside
1:29He says it's something he didn't do
1:34He's afraid to take that long ride
1:39Down Rikers Avenue
1:43(Too many)
1:44Too many niggas in Rikers Island (Why must it be?)
1:50Why must it be? (I said that there's too many)
1:55Too many niggas in Rikers Island (Let 'em sing)
2:01Set 'em free
2:05Month to month to month, they're growin'
2:10And it only multiplies
2:16Some of them for no reason
2:21Some will be there 'til they die
2:26Children home with no fathers
2:32And they don't even know why
2:37Mother can't explain it
2:41The family visits, that's all were seeing
2:45(I know there's too many)
2:46Too many niggas in Rikers Island (Way too long)
2:52Why must it be? (I know there's too many)
2:57Too many niggas in Rikers Island (We need to heal)
3:03Set 'em free (I know there's too many)
3:07Too many niggas in Rikers Island (And why)
3:13Why must it be? (I know there's too many)
3:18Too many niggas in Rikers Island (Set them free)
3:24Set 'em free
3:26La da da da da, da da da da da
3:31La da da da da, da da da da da
