Official Lyrics

(As published on Genius under “The Academic Boardroom”)

[Intro]

Welcome back to our table. You are tuned in with Dr. J & Dr. E. Pull up a chair, and listen in.

[Verse]

From Brockport to the Ivy Halls, he built a brilliant name,

A master of equations who achieved academic fame.

His mother led the studies of the reconstructed past,

Yet modern-day dark shadows were over their lives recast.

 

They dragged her like a fugitive through systemic abuse,

With fraudulent court orders for which there was no excuse.

The police refused to intervene when rights were torn away,

And perjury went unpunished in the court system today.

 

When guardians become owners and liberty is denied,

The vulnerable need safety with accountability inside.

Abolish the guardianship bound by legal tyranny,

And if you find you’re caught within, just pack your things and flee.

Podcast Score Summary

“Legally Kidnapped” narrates the real-life saga of Dr. Jonathan Farley, who is a mathematician hailing from a relatively small town in upstate New York and who went on to study at the prestigious universities of Harvard and Oxford. This high-achieving author describes the calamity that befell his family when his elderly mother, a well-known authority in African American social history, was forced to leave her own house because of a system that, instead of providing protection, became an instrument of control and abuse. The last verse of the work is a call to stop the abuse of guardianship and helps advise all those who went through this tragedy to escape their traps.
