I was standin' on the corner
With some business for the man
I was holdin' what he wanted
When they took me to the van
Now I'm sittin' and I'm thinkin'
There's a hole in my life
Big enough to drag a better man down
Doin' hard time (Hard time)
Hard time in the big house (Hard time)
Doin' hard time (Hard time)
Hard time in the big house (Hard time in the big house)
I was taken to detention
I was feelin' scared as hell
I was stripped of my possessions
I was taken to a cell
Now I'm sittin' and I'm thinkin'
There's a hole in my life
Like someone took a gun and shattered my hopes
Doin' hard time (Hard time)
Hard time in the big house (Hard time)
Doin' hard time (Hard time)
Hard time in the big house (Hard time in the big house)
Doin' hard time (Hard time)
Hard time in the big house (Hard time)
Doin' hard time (Hard time)
Hard time in the big house (Hard time in the big house)
Was it somethin' I was missing
That I thought I had to score?
Was it all for love and money?
Does it matter anymore?
Now I'm sittin' and I'm thinkin'
There's a hole in my life
Big enough to drag a better man down
Doin' hard time (Hard time)
Hard time in the big house (Hard time)
Doin' hard time (Hard time)
Hard time in the big house (Hard time in the big house)
Doin' hard time (Hard time)
Hard time in the big house (Hard time)
Doin' hard time (Hard time)
Hard time in the big house (Hard time in the big house)
