And some came close
Between bars, got me thinkin' like an animal
Cell block and locked, I never clock it y'all
Secured my getaway, so I just gotaway
You have to realize, what its a form of slavery
I contemplated a plan on the cell floor
Flew up and to my surprise the water tower
To criticize me some crime, never the less
And everyman's got served
A cell is hell, I'm a rebel so I rebel
Straight up, word'em up on the level
On the strength, the situation's unreal
Goin' out with a bang, ready to bang out
I had to get off, my boys had the feds in check
They got me servin' to those and to them
I'm goin' for the steel
Stand and hold my post
And then I threw up my steel bullet
But power from the sky
Picture me given' a damn, I said never
I'm not a fugitive on the run
I'm on a tier where no tears should ever fall
Here is my plan anyway and I say
They could not understand that I'm a Black man
We had a force to instigate a prison riot
I grabbed his gun, then he did what I said so
Organized under a swarm of devils
But a brother like me begun, to be another one
Just like with Oliver's neck
If I come out alive and then they won't, come clean
Here is a land that never gave a damn
That I was innocent
Time to break as time grows intense
Some do a bid from 1 to 10
So I just took the piece
But I'm still a captive, I gotta rap this
Twice, right, now who wanna get nice?
They wanted me for their army or whatever
On the strength, I'ma tell you the deal
Got a woman C-O to call me a copter
I got nothin' to lose, 'cause I'm goin' for the steel
I ventured into the courtyard
The reasons are several, most of them federal
Figure I trigger my steel
Bruised, battered, and scarred but hard
Don't you know I caught a C O
I gotta get out, but that thought was thought before
And I could never be a veteran
The joint broke, from the black smoke
How long has it been?
About a brother like me and myself
Posing a threat, you bet it's fuckin' up the government
I wasn't wit' it, but just that very minute
As for the rest of the world, they can't realize
'Cause time and time again time
6 C-Os we got we ought to put their head out
Blew up, who shot
I'm not a citizen
It occurred to me, the suckers had authority
A high number of dose, yes
This is what it takes for peace
And plus the warden to know
Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell
I got the steel in my right hand
She tried to get away, and I popped her
What, who, the bazooka was who
They couldn't do nuthin'
Fallin' asleep on death row
The same motherfucker got us livin' is his hell
And I never did, and plus I never been
And from the tower shots rang out
And I'm serious, call me delirious
And to my rescue, it was the S1Ws
To understand my demands
Decency was deserved
I had 6 C-Os, now it's 5 to go
Followed by 52 brothers
They got me sittin' in the state pen
This is what I mean, an anti-nigger machine
Because I'm militant
But I'll give 'em a chance, 'cause I'm civilized
Sleepin' on the job, my plan is on go-ahead
I got a raw deal, so I'm goin' for the steel
Public enemy servin' time, they drew the line y'all
Black for black inside time to cut the leash
'Cause the steel was black, the attitude exact
It said they were suckers
Freedom to get out, to the ghetto, no sell out
Tellin' you what happened the same time they're throwin'
But ever when I catch a C O
I got gusto, but only some I can trust, yo
Then they saw it was rougher than the average bluffer
Because they never did
Along with the time they served
Now I'm lookin' for the fence
I gave a warnin', I wanted the governor, y'all
Now the chase is on tellin' you to c'mon
4 of us packed in a cell like slaves, oh well
My plan said I had to get out and break north
Don't you know, they got me rottin' in the time that I'm servin'
