I Know Why The Cage Bird Sings (Intro)
In jail, without the bail In jail, without the bail In jail, without the bail In jail, without the bail In jail, without the bail In jail, without the bail In jail I got confined at 17, young and naive Dashed in to a world with killers robbers and thieves Cramped in a 8 man cell with 10 cats 8 on the bunks and 3 on just mats How's the mats with cats facing all day? Habitual ways, short to long term stays Going back and fourth the circuit My life hanging on a verdict and laws I'm unable to interpret I just knew I had to do some time... Bottom line, laid up some years or so away from mine Locked from the sun moon and sky, lack a fresh air Had me feeling pail and dry Circles forming under my eyes from sleepless weeks Stress levels off the hook! Reaching a new beach home sick, for my peoples in the street A huge weight bearing on my back Im chain smoking roll ups in attempts to kind of act and write my rap No get-away cuz life goes on and tomorrows just another day of the same Songtexteroutine ain't a damn thing new Either I grind, watch the tube with the phone, or get a view So much time and so little to do Just waiting on a court date so I can get through Caught between a rock in a hard place Prosecution had a hard case So I'd have to plead or escape If I took it to trial, they would have gave me a boat Fresh 25 piece like a noose with a rope I couldn't go that rout no doubt So I waited for the best offer and I got the hell out After getting sentenced, I was eager to ride Just to be outside, just to see the sky No more bars, no more court, held the county made the joint Sounds like the resort, I was all in for it I had my shit packed and ret, ready to jet Standing at the bars anxious waiting on a debt (waiting on a debt)... without the bail In jail, without the bail In jail, without the bail In jail, without the bail In jail, without the bail In jail, without the bail In jail, without the bail In jail Aus Songtexte Mania
