Manic Hispanic is in a ‘Holding Cell’ (video plus lyrics)


Despite vehement protestations of innocence, the local constables have incarcerated a member of Manic Hispanic on criminal charges. At least according to this song [NSFW lyrics]:

La Jura’s picked me up
aye guey aye guey aye guey aye guey
it’s not my crime but I’m the one they blame
the homies are cruising
the homies are cruising
the homies are all cruising cruising cruising cruising
can some one help me make the bail
I’m in the Holding cell I don’t want the time
dont wanna do it
I don’t want the time
don’t put me through it

On my side of town
the jura tries to keep us down
Por Que Why ?
they’re scared we might rise up
and so we’re locked up
and so we’re locked up

but I ain’t gonna trip
and I ain’t gonna take their shit
i’m gonna fight until they set me free
i didn’t even jack that ride (oh I know)
or steal the tv set inside (my Primo )
gave that shit to me

I’m in the holding cell I don’t want the time
don’t wanna do it
I don’t want the time
don’t put me through it

On my side of town
the jura tries to keep us down
Por Que Why ?
they’re scared we might rise up
we gotta rise up
i’m in the holding cell

sitting in the holding cell
sitting in the holding cell
sitting in the holding cell
sitting in the holding cell
por que why
someday we will rise up !
