Intro:

*the first three notes of Taps plays*

M.A. Parks, C57797, you have a visitor

Right there, stall three

Hi baby.

Whassup honey?

Hey you know it's just only one more week until family visit.

Yeah I'ma rock them drawers.

A-heh.

Yeah but you know did you take care of that bidness I asked you to do?

I made those deposits.

Okay that's cool you bring that shit?

Yeah I got it.

Awright see that guard over there?

Mmm-hmm.

When you get done just hand him the shit, he know whassup.

Awright. Hey you know E just got cracked, he's in jail now.

What?

Yeah, Go-Go's out. I just saw him runnin around the other day.

Ahh, fuck that fool. But anyway, what's happenin with my moms?

She gave me a message for you:

She said she's sorry she couldn't be here today, but she'll be here

next week.

Awright well check this out,

I got somethin real important

I want you to tell her

[guard] C'mon c'mon this shit's over with.

*commotion breaks out*

[girl] I'm not done talking to him!

[guard] C'mon boy, back to your cell.

Shut that shit up bitch! He's outta here, c'mon.

[guy] Don't be callin my woman no bitch! I'll fuck you up!

[guard] Yeah yeah fool, what? Yeah yeah that's what they all say fool.

You institutionalized, and this is your home...

Guess who's back, and ready to knock off a cop or two

Cause me and the crew could still get our rocks off

The penetentiary don't stop a nigga cause he's in jail

Hell I'm makin more money on the street from here in a cell

I'm livin proper, the coppers is havin fits

I just made the profit, you punks ain't stoppin shit

I still remember my momma told me

Find the cop who killed your brother

send him to Hell lookin homely

Cause a real nigga love the law

What's raw is a nigga that's above the law

Keep pressin your luck and get fucked, huh

Think a nigga don't know whassup cause he's locked up

But in the meantime, it's get swoll get clean time

Concentrate on gettin green time

And as the years go by, they forgot

about the small time soldier from the block, huh

To kill the crook they threw the book at me

Don't worry be nappy, don't even look happy

Put me in the hole, gave me cold cuts

Did push-ups until I swoll up

And then they offer me a furlough

But what they don't know as soon as I get free I'm killin five mo'

They asked me if I changed much

I told em 'Yeah' even though I'm still the same nut

They started askin my questions about my brother

And makin remarks about my mother, hmm

Wait a minute, hold up

Makin jokes about my folks'll get yours blown up

They sent me back to the hole for what I told em

I guess he didn't believe me, so I showed him

He went home to find a tragedy

Nigga, that's what you get for tryin to badger me

And anybody else that wanna sweat me

I'm already in jail so you punks can't get me

You better pray they never see me

Cause if they let me free, prepare for trouble on the streets.

When I get free

Chorus: When I get free (3X)

Chorus
