Notes

Chorus: Alright, Let me get real with you
livin in the pen isnt good for you
you might wake up with someone trynna feel you
man you might wake up to someone trynna kill you

Verse 1: Livin life in a prison cell
some times it can feel like hell
all you got is time, but who can tell
security guards dont hear when you yell
this is prison
come with me but you gotta listen
i will show you through this prison system

Chorus (x2)?

Verse 2: every week, they go for the little one
and every day i just sit back and watch him run
its just part of the game everyone here is waiting for some fun
split up, in all types of races
got some black boys, mexican, and some asians
but it makes no difference
they all want fresh meat for their special occasions
his name was thomas
it was different cuz this was the first dude to make a promise
now we leanin on him like we lost all powers

Chorus (x2)?

Verse 3: Thomas was a hard head
always causin trouble
never want to step in his bubble
stood about 6 feet tall
plus 11 inches
this dude was built to give you 17 stitches
but heres the difference
thomas is white
now some people thought that that was alright
but inspite of all the insight thomas lost all his might
trying to take on 13 of them (latin) kings after that he lost his light
but thats enough of verse 3 lets give the mic up to (pete)?

Chorus (x2)?

Verse 4: (featuring?) a couple weeks pass since thomas got smashed
never looks up no matter who just passed
he's paranoid in a system so broken
he the biggest dude but he looks like someones token
now listen to what im saying because what im saying is true
sure he's the biggest dude but he could be you
the prison system isnt a place for anybody of any size
cuz once your in the system all you get are lies

Chorus (x2) ?

Verse 5: now this is the part where i play in
i see my homie rico and i know he has his ways in
see rico is genius, with a wicked personality
he could make a shank out of just about anything
but you see he plays a big role in these walls of solitude
keeping us safe just so we can get out of here (pronounce like a rick ross ugh/mix with here)
back to thomas though and how this plays out
i tell my boy rico to show thomas around
but dont be to loud dont want to start a bout
so rico went to thomas next thing i knew i heard thomas shout
rico done stabbed thomas in the back
with a broken tray that he just got from the rack
suddenly i heard a loud smack
the whole room sounded like it would collapse
the whole room broke into a riot
security guards aint stoppin it cuz they say we're over populate
12 minutes of havoc before those cowards came after us
locked everyone in their cell for 3 days for the out burst
but that raises tension which only makes it worse
so like my boy pete said to come to prison cuz you never know
you might be like thomas if you go
and this is a true story cuz as a matter of fact
i didnt tell rico to show thomas around
i put a hit on that bitch who was always looking down
biggest nigga on the block take a look where he's at now
now dont forget that could be you dont let me catch you around

possible chorus or just a fade out
