Keeping me locked in these cells, will only make me go wild
25 to life for tha crime, I'll be dead before I get out
2 strikes for petty theft, thought I would learn my lesson
Now I was driving home drunk, and I hit a pedestrian
How dare I fight the case, I knew my crime would pay
Said I'd be prepared for my time, but why on this day?
I've been actin a fool, and threw my whole life away
"Fuck what they all say", was my mentality, and now this game I hafto play
Used to blaim it on tha system, "the man" holding me back
But what I did was no exscape, "Just another black dude stuck in a trap"
I'm trapped in these bars with no chance of breaking out
So much commotion all around me, shit, people can't hear me shout
In here I stick to myself, because I can't trust all these bad men
...But Shit... I'm one too, Never again a Has been
This is my life, and every night, I got to sleep scared
Because I just took a innocent life away, and they think I dont care
I would give anything to have them moments back when drinking a beer
Should've cop'd a desinated driver, because I couldn't even steer
........And now they got me in here, 25 years plus
Where I can't trust my surroundings, and all they do is fuss
I pray to God that he forgive me, i know I can't give up
But, this life aint for me.... stay pee'in in a cup
Thought of strangglin myself with my shirt, to lower my health
But just being in here, with this fear hauntin me is only beating myself
Now, I wonder what's easier, suffering, or a quick death
So I picked up myself, and took the shirt off my chest
Prayed for God to forgive me, before I put it around my neck
Placed the top of the sleeve on the bed post, and hung from the deck
Loosing breath now...But, I can't give up on this
....My life is already over, and I'm left with no one to miss
My thoughts getting lower........could I be passing out right
Couldn't hear myself think..........I just committed prison suicide
