Gothenburg Penitentiary

Gothenburg Penitentiary, the hardest of the hardest/ The concrete jungle, where everyone is heartless/ Gothenburg Penitentiary, the show now mercy/ So, you gotta learn to swim in murky waters/ Gothenburg Penitentiary, my heart just sunk/ The next fifteen years of my life I'll be sleeping on a bunk/ With a celly who's a mess and a cell that smells of funk/ The only thing that's on my mind is I won't be nobody's punk/ So, I walked through the gates, with my head held high/ And heart of a lion, with fire in my eyes/ Ready for war, and whatever comes with it/ I can see it in their eyes, these dudes are restless/ So, I'm making shivs, ready to leave somebody chestless/ Stressed and depressed, I'm not trying to hear a thing/ Kill or be killed, somebody leaving in a sling/ Or in a body bag and it won't be me/ So, I'm alert at all times, ten toes, two feet/ Not trusting anybody, sleep with one eye open/ I can't worry about my time, it's nothing but do it/ And this mask on my face won't work for long, I have to prove it/ The next person test me, will need a first responder/ My shiv on the ready, it's nothing to ponder/ I'm in my cell practicing my draw when I'm alone/ It's some dudes in here with life who never going home/ I'm not bigger than most but I can hold my own/ Small in stature, my heart full blown/ Fighting everyday, toe to toe, blow for blow/ Trying to prove a point, to anybody's who's a foe/ I know how it goes, and I won't show no weakness/ Thinking about my life and I can only reminisce/ This can only make or break me, only the strong survive/ In Gothenburg, it's do or die/ I'm built to last, and I stick to the code/ But now I'm on this journey walking a lonely road/ For a crime I never done/ Abandoned by everyone on the outside/
