Breaking Chains: The Jellyfish Method's Powerful Message on Criminal Justice
Lyrics
Roaming around town looking for his next meal
Describes a person wandering in search of their next meal.
So fucked up he sits where he spits
Portrays someone in a highly distressed state, sitting where they spit.
You'd think he'd get sick but he's born into a life of it
Despite adverse circumstances, the individual is accustomed to this life.
The prison system has drained every little bit
The prison system has consumed and depleted all available resources.
This vicious circle
Refers to a never-ending cycle of negative experiences.
Imprisonment for something legal
Imprisonment for actions that are legally acceptable.
Incarcerated for a substance that is not lethal
People are incarcerated for using non-lethal substances.
Freedom of choice yeah it's up to you yeah you decide it
Emphasizes the importance of personal choice and freedom.
They lock up the poor and their excuse is that they
Authorities imprison economically disadvantaged individuals with weak justifications.

Clean up

A mother and her son daddy is a vagabond
Highlights a family situation with the father absent and in dire straits.
Asking for change his life went down the drain
A mother asking for financial help as her life took a turn for the worse.
All because of a little baggy filled with stuff
A minor possession leading to drastic consequences for the individual.
Was caught in his possession now his family is fucked
The family suffers due to one's possession-related arrest.

Highlights the establishment's design to incarcerate the disadvantaged.
To lock up the poor
