Drapetomania: in my own words

“To me, 'Drapetomania' is a song describing how prison is a strict environment to stay in our place and I wanted to make a statement to Madonna to give me that Grammy in a playful way because I thought we [Lifers Group] deserved it; though I didn’t believe we would ever even get there in the first place. It's very serious, but there is also some humor to it.” - Maxwell Melvins
