Poem Title:
Poem
Anybody that’s ever done any kind of prison time knows, that within those tall stark walls there’s a lot of little scared girls flexing big muscles And there’s a lot of deep thinkers whose got tough cranial shells When the Five-O come down hard cracking the skulls, gray matter coconuts ain’t afraid of some vacation time in jail If you’ve been living your whole life in an outdoor caged zoo Smaller confined spaces don’t much have any shock effect on you The moral dilemma comes from being in the wrong line of hustle Should things on the job go sideways, what will you choose to do Will you make the dire choice to take a life, or sacrifice a few years of your own to lose? You gonna earn them sideway pinstripes, if you chose to make the latter choice Getting placed in a den of vipers, you better learn not follow every voice Turn your head sideways when you see something bad about to go down Keep your head up to the dangers always lurking all around Never take your eyes off of the warden’s clock, let it tick down to double zero Then take this hard life lesson learned, and be a better person ... a ghetto hero Rightly used freedom when properly applied in life will take you places you always wanted to go Looking sideways out of the open window ... it’s so beautiful to feel the smooth summer breeze blowing on your sunshine face As you now travel down life’s golden highway, loving the taste of freedom exit from the long rocky road After suffering many stripes pinned on you, God has blessed you to decipher the hidden spiritual code
