Phillip Donald has completed his first new recording in 6 years. The song ‘Break Loose’ was written during Phillip’s 6-month stay in a federal penitentiary. Phillip was convicted of lewd public behavior in April 2018 and was sentenced to one year in prison. Phillip was released on parole 6 months early and came out to perform his song for the SmorgShow gang on their 100th episode.
Lyrics:
I’m not the kind of guy you think I am
Sophisticated all around I even roast yams
So don’t you say I don’t have class
I’m not the roaming creep that they say I am
Don’t make your accusations just because I drive a van
They took my every pound of dignity
How many times do I have to say
It’s not me that you should be taking away
I’ve got three bags of candy still left inside
But officers are clear about taking bribes
Chorus
Why is it a crime if I decide to share my smile with you
Here I wallow in my thoughts
Just hoping I will soon break loose
****
I never even got the chance to explain
Now there’s local news alerts and orders of restrain
How will I ever tell my mom?
I’m sleeping on a bed with no lumbar support
Breakfast lunch and dinner here are really a bore
Tallies on the wall and lyrics to this song
Hoping that I won’t be here for long
Chorus
Why is it a crime if I decide to share my smile with you
Here I wallow in my thoughts
Just hoping I will soon break loose
