Behind bars, my shirt is black and white
Got a cop on the left and a cop on the right
I'm waiting for the moment when they turn out the lights
I'm a jailbird baby and I'm breaking out tonight
Criminal my life is larger, harder, with plot armor
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger unless you become a martyr
Dropping singles not albums like 1,2,3,4,5 tha Carter
These rhymes are sick in the head so lock me up like Jeffrey Dahmer
Tha Carter I'm talking Lil Wayne
I ain't rich but I got 2 Chainz
Stones came straight from the mining vein
Successor to the king I'm Purple Rain
28 years, since 12 he's reigned
Not Broke in a Minute like Tory Lanez
Dropping rappers I can explain
Little do they know this is my domain
Fittest survival, fire by trial
Some stick to the bible
Not every killer in here is homicidal
When I was younger I thought someday I'd maybe meet my idol
Found the prod, moving mountains Rolling Stones on vinyl
Most of the guys in here look old as me but they can't be freed
It don't matter if they were guilty before they had to plead
Coulda be drugs, violence, greed, or he just had to feed the family
They're in for life it's a guarantee
I'm murdering the beat in the first-degree
Behind bars, my shirt is black and white
Got a cop on the left and a cop on the right
I'm waiting for the moment when they turn out the lights
I'm a jailbird baby and I'm breaking out tonight
It's crazy how tragic events
Can leave memories trapped inside our brain
Nobody in history will ever look at 2001 the same
Every day as a society we aspire to grow higher
Get hired, become the buyers, of items that we don't require
This overwhelming desire to feed the supplier then retire
Our ancestors would act this out in a God damn satire
It's hard to think that sometimes certain things can be the dagger
When a person is close to reaching the top of the ladder
The glass is shattered
I wish they knew that there were people out there
That felt they mattered
But they were scattered
Till they were needed the least and then they gathered
Black umbrellas, black coats
Everyone here's in the same boat
Silence while they read quotes
Just hope you weren't in the note
Quiet while the birds' crow
Eternity's Gate, Van Goh
In the sky or down below
The aftermath of death row
Concrete jungle, life ain't fair
Inside this dungeon of despair
Visions painted on my mind
Death knocks leaving them behind
Orange jumpsuits counting days
Writing as my brain decays
Nights in bed with dreams in chains
You're gone if you don't hide the pain
They told you to follow your dreams
Become a marine or build machines
Now you're on a log like a bump, a chump
Tied up and you ended up!
Behind bars, my shirt is black and white
Got a cop on the left and a cop on the right
I'm waiting for the moment when they turn out the lights
I'm a jailbird baby and I'm breaking out tonight
