Three Wishes
I wish that I don't go to jail tonight/
But if I go to jail I wish I don't do life/
And if I do, I'll be alright/
I just wish I do it right/
Sometimes I feel like a cliff hanger, can't hold on much longer/
But I'm still holding on, getting stronger and stronger/
Even though my days feel like I'm trapped in a coma/
One day I'll wake up and be right back to normal/
I'm taking Penitentiary chances in the streets to survive/
Because I can't get an honest job anywhere/
All the weirdos call me Uncle Satan/
You don't want to test them, they young and restless/
You don't see us in the day time, vampire lifestyle/
They're super Malefic, they like to get reckless/
We like to dress all in black and go on the prowl/
We stalk like an owl and watch everything around us/
When it's time to go down, like stars, we round up/
And you gonna wound up swimming with fishes/
But I'm the only one the will need three wishes/
I'm good in the South, I got bros out the boat/
I know steps that'll shoot when it's time it's time to come through/
I know steps that's legit, you don't wanna test/
I know steps serving life and I wish them the best/
I'm wishing to live a better life dodging the Penitentiary/
I'm in the lab twerking this pen, writing my books, poems/
In the streets, I blow like the wind, I'm a rolling stone/
Where the wind blows, I go, I just roll along/
I wished I had a woman but they're all a tease/
For my birthday every year, I wish for millions of dollars/
I still don't have it, but I keep wishing, writing these books/
I can't find a job and keep fishing to no avail/
Something has gotta give, so I keep writing/
I need to formulate a plan to survive, avoid the Penitentiary/
In the streets... Day to day... Waiting on them to get me/
Wondering, if I'll ever go back to prison/
For a crime I never done, I wish to avoid that/
