Whitewoods - Free Ross Anthem lyrics

The biggest criminal trial in the history of
The Internet is over this morning
And so apparently is Ross Ulbricht's freedom
The mastermind of the Silk Road website
Was sentenced to life in
Prison without parole

The gavel came down and gave me
This prison for a house
Now I'm staring at the wall
Chillin' out with my friend who's a mouse
My mother’s outside
Telling people everything she saw
How they take your whole life and rip it
Up in the name of the law

But, I'm not scared what happens to me
'Cause, I am aware of who I'll be
And I stand my ground until the
World bends around my rule

Every now and then
They move me to the roof outside
Where I breathe fresh air and let the
Sun soak up some of my time
My lawyer’s on appeal and it costs
An arm and a leg
You see, I've got no choice
‘cause I'm locked up until I'm dead

But, I'm not scared what happens to me
'Cause, I am aware of who I'll be
And I stand my ground until the
World bends around my rule

Our lawyer says we have very good points
Very, very strong points for appeal
Um, it's not shaped to appeal
We already owe a ton from the trial
Trials are extremely expensive
Aand going forward
We have to fund some appeal
So, um, we're only one family
And we're not a wealthy family
And, um, you know, there's no hidden wallet
There's no money out there
We've gotten a ton of support that
Has gotten us this far
And of course, with our own efforts, um
People can help by going to FreeRossorg
And giving what you can i mean, even if
If a thousand people gave the price
Of a cup of coffee that would help

Sometimes I think
"Will it always be this way?"
If I leave, it's a crime
But it's not when they force me to stay
It started with a good idea
Now I'm stuck in my pen
And if they ever let me go
I will never make a website again

But, I'm not scared what happens to me
'Cause, I am aware of who I'll be
And I stand my ground until the
World bends around my rule
