[Hook x2]
Behind these walls ain`t no sunshine
These dirty crackers steady scratchin` niggas off the grind
Ho you can`t do the time then don`t do the crime
You got to handle your`s like a man, I`ma handle mine
[Verse 1]
Breakin` the door, while them guards lookin` the other way
Rapings and murders, man this shit take place every day
It`s a livin` hell in this jail, males attracted to males
Loud screams and yells comin` from a cell on block twelve
You can`t show em` ya scared, nigga if ya do ya dead
They the first to rip off a side of a bitch nigga head
Now I`m sleepin on my back with my boots on in my bed
See a nigga got stuck and the guard just stood there while he bled
And as the chicken died I was thinkin` bout his mama
And who gon` break the news of how he got caught in the drama
Can`t trust the white ones, black ones, Puerto Ricans, or the Mexicans
Gotta turn my toothbrush into a sharp blade for my protection
And I`ma stick it deep in the flesh, of that nigga who test
Put him to rest, and leave him in a red mess
It`s a whole nother world behind this wall, don`t come down here
I see ya slip ya better straighten up before ya fall
[Hook x2]
[Verse 2]
Dear mama, I`m writing ya from the state pen
I`m in this hole again, denied for parole once again
See in here it ain`t no friends, it`s do or ya die
Shank or get shanked, at night grown men cry
Madder than a fuck cause they trapped by the state
Conversations bout suicide, cryin` to his roommate
And roommate the next one that got this nigga swangin`
Damn, caught a rope by his neck hangin`
I got to thinkin` about death in all kinds of ways
Pull a nigga shank up in this bitch, I`m goin` the other way
The only thing I can look forward to is death
And at the rate I`m goin` I got to many years left
That`s why I be actin` up, cause I be crackin` up
Layin in a stiff ass bed, in a cell with hard lead
This type of shit`ll make a weak nigga turn gay
Promise to split ya dome if ya look at me the wrong way
[Hook x2]
[Verse 3]
What cha` gonna do when them lights go out, nigga
What cha` gonna do when them fights break out
What cha` gonna do when them fools start riotin`
Is you gon` be fightin` like a man or hidin`
What cha` gonna do when you approached with that gay shit
Go in his grill or get punked and don`t say shit
If you a man you gon` stand, understand what I`m sayin`
From the streets to the cell, for survival`s what I`m prayin`
[Verse 4]
Every time I turn around I`m starin` at a cop
Pig circlin` my block, tryin` to catch me with rocks
Whether it`s rain, snow, sleet, or shine I`m out on the grind
Niggas yell hoody hoo when they see one time
Man these streets fucked up, cause these crackers playin this
Now I`m spinnin` every day, takin` these penitentiary chances
I`m a straight up hustler so I can do nothin` but advise you
Don`t get caught out on this grind cause these crackers gon` hind you
