Yo, yo, back again, Uncle Shane
Down in Oklahoma City talking J-PASS
Now let me explain
Rookies got questions, gotta break it down
How we moved from prison to state to town
Yo, Chief, I'm wondering, trying to learn fast
What's J-PASS mean, how we move them so fast
We got people in custody, coast to coast
From court to court, who's handling the most
Alright, young gun, let me set it clear
J-PASS started back in the year
1995, we merged as one
Marshals and INS, mission begun
Before that time, we flew separate planes
Two systems trying to run the chains
Director John Marshall saw the need to unite
Built J-PASS, getting it right
We fly to prisoners, no disguise
Through air, through land, across the skies
Court to cell, aviation enforcement officers
Moving thousands of bodies, all in a flow
It's J-PASS, flying high, moving fast
Moving prisoners through the path
From trial to lockup, from digs to keys
The marshals running with precision and ease
But ICE broke off in 2003
Now they handle their own detainees
It's J-PASS still running the game
Moving the chains, all in the name
So in 03, ICE took their own flight
Set up their own game, yeah, that's tight
That's right, son, let's go back in time
DHS came in and made a new climb
INS dissolved, ICE took the lead
Moving immigrants their own speed
But J-PASS stayed in the DOJ federal frame
Handling court-bound prisoners all the same
We're moving with the Bureau of Prisons too
Handling federal transport crew by crew
Planes and buses, yeah, we roam
Keeping the system tight, under control
Started in 95, Director Marshall made it real
Reorganized, that was the deal
Now we moving from trial to fate
J-PASS runs it all, man, it's great
It's J-PASS, flying high, moving fast
Moving prisoners through the path
From trial to lockup, from gates to keys
The marshals running with precision and ease
But ICE broke off in 2003
Now they handle their own detainees
It's J-PASS still running the game
Moving the chains, all in the name
Now I see the game, I'm catching the flow
J-PASS keeping it steady, in the know
From courthouse to cell, it's all on track
No loose ends, yeah, we got their back
Remember, kid, we're moving them tight
Every manifest, every flight
From the marshals to the BOP
It's a team game, you'll soon see
Thanks, chief, I'm learning the way
From the legal chain to J-PASS today
I'm ready to ride, move prisoners clean
In this justice game, I'll keep it lean
It's J-PASS, flying high, moving fast
Moving prisoners through the path
From trial to lockup, from gates to keys
The marshals running with precision and ease
But ICE broke off in 2003
Now they handle their own detainees
It's J-PASS still running the game
Moving the chains, all in the name
