1:43Cause i'm tryin to keep the cowards away
1:44Thats why i'm markin off the calendar days
1:46Tryin to get it out of the way
1:46And i'm just tryin to keep a piece of mine
1:48And i'm gon shame a motherf**ker with a piece of mine
1:52Cause he tryin to take a piece of mine
1:53So i'm gon slice his a** a piece at a time
1:56But now that they close the door
1:57Lock me in in a cell 30 deep but its built for 10
1:58Tell me what kind of world they got you in
2:02With the barbed wire fences box u in
2:03From now til they turn off the lights
2:05Ia read anything in sight
2:07Its kinda hard tryin to read at night
2:09But Ia change my life
2:10And hope another brother take this fligh
2:11If I could fly away
