[People yelling]

[Sirens]

It is dark

It's dark when you get back in the- back of the van

You gotta brace yourself

Your hands are behind your back

the cuffs are tight

Police don't have in mind

that someone is back there

The noise that is back there
the bumps that they hit

You know...

If you have

the cuffs on

the more the bumps,
the tighter the cuffs get

We all done got locked up

like most of us

they never strap us up
in the back of the paddy wagon

like never. You know-
Nobody never get strapped up

in the back of the paddywagon

For they don't know if we can slide around

[get] hit out here.

Be unconscious back there

They just throw us in there

however they want

It's a bad experience

An experience I would
not want nobody to

even my worst enemy,
to have the experience

So, it's rough

[Protestors yelling at police]

[Music plays]
