Cocaine in the back of the ride\nSince I ain’t a snitch, I was thrown in the jailhouse\nDoin 5 years over dope I didn’t know about\nNo more women, and no more shows\nWish I was out on a furlough\nTime again you wanna lock me up\nLock me up, lock me up\nTime again you wanna lock me up\nA nigga like me, you wanna lock me up\nSo now I’m in the jailhouse gettin all swoll'\nDoin 2 to 5 for this nigga I don’t know\nFools say jail ain’t nothin to sweat\nBut if you ain’t got a rep, you gotta claim your set\nBut I don’t bang, y’all, so what can I say?\nI’m just a funky rapper from around the way\nBut right in my face about a million brothers stood\nThrowin up gangsigns, representin they neighborhood\nBrother named Black who ran the yard\nTold me, «Bust a funky rap, and you won’t need a bodyguard»\nDon’t get me wrong, y’all, I’m far from soft\nBut for the next six months I was rappin my ass off\nNow here we go, I had the whole jailhouse\nRockin back and forth, and even the wardens\nThrew their hands in the air while I bust a rhyme\nBut now the chow line, y’all, was one big showtime\nBut that’s when a riot jumped off\nAnd they threw me in the box for startin it off\nThey told me for the next 7 months, if I laid low\nThen I’d be egible for a furlough\nFinally I’m out on a furlough\nBack on the streets in a Coupe that’s sittin kinda low\nYo, come to find that the group Low Pro done went solo\nNow it’s all aobut the Maad Circle\nI’m hangin out with Tunes and Coolio\nDrinkin out the brown paperbag, dodgin my P.O.\nI’m only 'posed to be out for one day\nBut the judge don’t know that I’m a runaway\nSomething like a fugitive, but I don’t run, I bust back, y’all\nNo more sittin in the hole eatin chew balls\nNow I pack my bag and grab my gat\nAnd have the Maad Circle put me down on contract\nAnd lay low like a snake in the grass\nChange my profile and do away with the past\nAnd now I’m gettin paid to be a vocalist\nAccordin to the law, though I’m wanted on a hit list\nCrazy Tunes, Coolio and Gee’s the Maad Circle\nAnd still to this day, yo, I’m out on a furlough\n(He's probably twenty-somethin years old\nAnd he gon' do 20, probably gon' do 20 years\nThat’s what he hollerin about, you know?\nCause the guy, he’s — he 20 years old\nYou know, he in his twenties\nHe’s rude, and all that right there, you know\nHe might —\nIt’s just like me:\nI came in the penitentiary when I was 22 years old\nYou know, that’s — that’s the baby\nYou know, now — now I’m 40\nYou see what I’m sayin?\nThe man talkin bout he want me to do — 20 mo' years)
