What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I'm rollin' up in a big grey bus
2
I'm shackled down, myself that's who I trust
3
The minute I arrived some sucker got hit
4
Shanked 10 times behind some bullshit
5
Word on the pen the fool was a snitch
6
So without hesitatin' I made a weapon quick
7
Found a sharp piece of metal taped it to a stick
8
Then the bullhorn sounds; that means it's time to chow
9
My first prison meal the whole feelin' was foul
10
It wasn't quite my style but my stomach growled
11
So I washed the shit down and hit the weight pile
12
The brothers was swole, their attitude was cold
13
I felt the tension on the yard from the young and the old
14
But I'm a warrior, I got my ground to hold
15
So I studied the inmates to see who had the power
16
The whites, the blacks or just the gun tower.
17
Voice-over of prison inmate describing the "˜daddy' inmates
18
In the blink of an eye a riot broke out
19
Blacks put their backs to the wall "˜cos it was North an South
20
Somebody shouts and everybody had doubts
21
Then the bullets started flippin', took two men out
22
Then they rushed everybody back to their cells
23
Damn! the pen is different from the county jail
24
I'm in a one man cell, I know my life's on the scale
25
I wonder if that gunman is goin' to hell
26
This is my second day, I'm on a ten year stay
27
I learnt my first lesson; in the pen you don't play
28
I saw a brother kill another "˜cos they said he was gay
29
But that's the way it is, been that way for years
30
When his body hit the ground I heard a couple of cheers
31
It kinda hurt me inside that they were glad he died
32
And I asked myself just who had the power
33
The whites, the blacks or just the gun tower.
34
More prison inmate voice-overs
35
You see the whites got a thing they call white pride
36
Blacks got the muscle, Mexicans got the knives
37
You gotta be wise ya wanna stay alive
38
Go toe to toe with a sucker no matter what size.
39
A fool tried to sweat me acting like he was hard
40
I stuck him twice in the neck and left him dead in the yard
41
It was smooth how I did it "˜cos nobody could see
42
With my jacket on my arm and my knife on the side of me
43
Bam-Bam! it was over, another fool bites the dust
44
I went crazy in the pen with nobody to trust
45
I'm benchin' 10 quarters so I'm hard to sweat
46
Use my tat gun to engrave my set.
47
They call me a lifer "˜cos I'm good as dead
48
I live in the hole so the floor is my bed
49
And I ask myself again who has the power
50
The whites, the blacks or just the gun tower.
51
Final prison inmate voice-over concludes;
52
There was tension all over, I could definitely feel that.
53
Then they rounded us up, took us over to another yard
54
Where there was more drama; the warning shot was a hit...
