In jail, without the bail

In jail, without the bail

In jail, without the bail

In jail, without the bail

In jail, without the bail

In jail, without the bail

In jail

I got confined at 17, young and naive

Dashed in to a world with killers robbers and thieves

Cramped in a 8 man cell with 10 cats

8 on the bunks and 3 on just mats

How's the mats with cats facing all day?

Habitual ways, short to long term stays

Going back and fourth the circuit

My life hanging on a verdict and laws I'm unable to interpret

I just knew I had to do some time...

Bottom line, laid up some years or so away from mine

Locked from the sun moon and sky, lack a fresh air

Had me feeling pail and dry

Circles forming under my eyes from sleepless weeks

Stress levels off the hook!

Reaching a new beach home sick, for my peoples in the street

A huge weight bearing on my back

Im chain smoking roll ups in attempts to kind of act and write my rap

No get-away cuz life goes on and tomorrows just another day of the same

routine ain't a damn thing new

Either I grind, watch the tube with the phone, or get a view

So much time and so little to do

Just waiting on a court date so I can get through

Caught between a rock in a hard place

Prosecution had a hard case

So I'd have to plead or escape

If I took it to trial, they would have gave me a boat

Fresh 25 piece like a noose with a rope

I couldn't go that rout no doubt

So I waited for the best offer and I got the hell out

After getting sentenced, I was eager to ride

Just to be outside, just to see the sky

No more bars, no more court, held the county made the joint

Sounds like the resort, I was all in for it

I had my shit packed and ret, ready to jet

Standing at the bars anxious waiting on a debt (waiting on a debt)...

without the bail

In jail, without the bail

In jail, without the bail

In jail, without the bail

In jail, without the bail

In jail, without the b
