This is a, So So Def, world premier

A world, premier

So So Def, world premier

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the Lord my soul to keep

If I should die before I wake

I pray the Lord my soul to take

Damn it feels good to see people up on it

I was sittin in my cell, worried for a moment

Ain't nuttin inspire me to write one rhyme

When the pen and pad was callin, I declined

I ain't give two shits about a passion I had

Wish I had a semi-auto, spray All they ass

I couldn't eat, sleep, shit in peace

Depression had me second-guessin myself in the belly of the beast

They wasn't tryin to put a bitch on before I was gone

So how the Fuckam I gon' ever make it when I get home?

I was cookin ramen noodles with no heat, and warm water

Fightin the gnats and flies off with no swatter

I got bit by spiders got sick

Got shipped to the hospital accompanied by a dick

No lie, Lord why I gotta go through this?

From a Sealy Posturpedic, to a two inch thick

No cleaners, no washing machine to do clothes

I stole, bleach with a mop bucket and blues so

granny panties, all I was allowed to wear

Victoria WAS a Secret, shit, she wasn't there

I couldn't pull that off, cause I had to squat and cough

Get butt naked, pull the cheeks open so they could check it

I was subjected to not havin pretty panties and bras

None of my different J's from Reggie to Jay Walk

Most of the C.O.'s already pre-judged

The crooked officers made it a point not to show me love

and heat up, my spot by harassin me

Told me to turn around and cuff up, and grabbin me

A young dumb lil' frail nigga, tryin to be tough, a clown

A fool for the system, but he a victim now

Karma a bitch nigga, and he was too

Bid'ness wasn't mine though, see how God do heh?

I kept my composure; all I had to do was holla

"GET HIM" on the yard, and it woulda been over

But I done learned a lot, earned a lot

I been solidified my spot, from the bottom to the bottom

to the top to the top, and I don't give a fuck

about the clock cause it don't stop, won't stop

In a recent article with Jamie Foster Brown

She asked, what I was thankin before the shit went down

And I ain't know what to tell her, but my adrenaline was hinderin

any positive image there could've been

helpful in preventin this incident

I don't know where my setence went

I blacked out ...

Did the crime did the time now I'm wonderin 'bout

dis light of mine, will it shine or is it burned out?

Told J.D. I was nervous, he said that's eagerness

Serve your purpose, I'm 'bout to send you these verses

[repeat 2X]

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray to the Lord, for a second chance he grants me

See most don't get one, but I did, sheeit

I promise to do things much differently
