prison

Yeah… Sirens in the distance Phone still buzzin’ Everything flipped that night Cadance and Alexis put detectives on my trail Now I’m sittin’ in county blues readin’ fan mail Blue lights flashin’ while my heartbeat jump One bad night got my whole name cuffed Phone kept ringin’, I stopped pickin’ up Too much weird sh*t, whole vibe f*cked up Now detectives tryna tie me to plays While they spread paperwork all over they desk Steel bench cold in the back of the ride Officer smirkin’ while I stared outside Window cracked slightly, rain hit slow Whole city blurred while my freedom got took Everybody talk tough till them people kick doors Till your mama hit the floor while they search through drawers Till they dump your whole room on the living room rug And your lil cousin cryin’ while they baggin’ your stuff Block got quiet when them charges hit Same ni*gas yell gang stopped callin’ quick One phone tap make the whole hood split Now everybody scared they attached to the sh*t Cold nights, hard trays, no sleep in intake Fights break out over nothin’ but hate One old head told me “keep your mouth shut” Then showed me knife wounds stitched in his gut Now I’m walkin’ slow with chains on my waist State blues on while they yell out my case Can’t even fake like this sh*t ain’t real When you wake up every day to counts and steel Courtroom packed and they whisper my name Judge looked down like we all the same Mama in the back row cryin’ hard as f*ck While the DA talk numbers tryna bury us Cadance looked away when I looked at her face Like she ain’t help put me in this place Alexis stayed quiet, head down low Whole time detectives smilin’ like they won gold Now commissary lines and collect-call nights Readin’ old texts while I stare at lights One bad move and your whole life gone Now your name get stamped on prison forms Some ni*gas fold once them cells close in Some turn cold and stop feelin’ sh*t Some crash out tryna prove they hard Then get left face-down in the rec yard I just stayed low and watched sh*t change Watched fake friends stop sayin’ my name Watched mama age through a blurry-ass screen While I’m boxed in concrete barely twenty-three Can’t blame nobody for the road I picked I knew what came with this type sh*t Still hurt though when the world move on And you stuck countin’ years to a jailhouse song Yeah… Sirens still echo in my brain Still hear cuffs every time chains hang One bad night and your whole life switch Now it’s cold walls and lawyer visits Yeah, I’m back in the zone, no cap, just facts, Stackin’ paper like it’s racks on racks, Ink on my skin, every line’s a scar, Life’s a race, but I’m settin’ the bar. Got the city on my back, heavy weight like a boulder, Young king movin’ mountains, watch me get colder, Hustle in my veins, no breaks, just grind, Eyes on the prize, got my heart intertwined. Rollin’ deep with the team, loyalty’s the code, Enemies lurkin’, but I’m heavy on the road, Every verse a weapon, got the world on my plate, Yeah, I’m spittin’ fire, can’t afford to be late. Real ones with me, know we never fold, Chasin’ dreams while the world turns gold, Raw like the streets, where the legends are born, Yeah, I’m livin’ proof, through the struggle, I’m sworn. Yeah, I came from the bottom, now I'm risin' like steam, Hustle on the daily, man, I'm livin' that dream, Countin' up the paper, stack it high, never lean, Real ones in my circle, keep it tight, know what I mean? Got the city on my back, every block, every street, Pushin' through the struggle, never acceptin' defeat, Enemies lurkin', but they can’t take my heat, I’m the voice of the people, got the rhythm, got the beat. Diamonds on my wrist, they be glistin' like stars, Rollin' with the squad, pullin' up in fast cars, Never switchin' lanes, keep it real, that’s a fact, Young king on the rise, watch me take my crown back. Money in my mind, never sleep, always grind, Future lookin' bright, yeah, success is intertwined, From the block to the booth, I’m just speakin' my truth, Raw vibes in the air, feel the energy, uncouth. youth lose
