Behind Bars

Eff around And find out. Freedom don’t come easy. The steel bar resort Ain’t no place to be,. But, eff if I know, I ain’t ever been to jail. Should have been, But I got lucky. Toothpaste on the walls, To hold up the memories. Watch how you talk, Or it’ll be your back against the wall And you’ll be just someone’s memory. One hour outdoors, Privilege ain’t easy, It’s the first to go when you get thrown in iso. Phone calls, No go. Letter are your only plug To the outside world. They’ll forget about you, Might as well let go. Nah, bro, Family is forever, Only friends come and go. Just kidding, When you’re a woman beater, You’re left with no one To showe for. Rot. In. Hell. Bro.

Interesting observations, Nikki, particularly since you say you "ain't ever been to jail." Those who have can certainly enlighten one, I'd say. Not a place I would want to spend a day.
