Doing Time is not easy but it's something that I gotta do/ Survival of the fittest so this how I gotta move/ I'm not the strongest so I got a lot to lose/ Pound for pound round for round I got a lot to prove/ Every night I go to sleep paranoid and schizophrenic/ In my prison cell feeling like...

On a dark and rainy afternoon Whence I’d been sentenced to my bedroom For my crime of failing to take care To not be a pain in my mother’s derriere As it happens, I was a lad of six Full of mischief and annoying tricks Apparently, I had failed to take warning That had been admonished all morning Thus, when afternoon did...

I have faced death many times How, I escaped its grasp ? Simply, can't be defined Someday, I know, it will be, my time But until then, this fragile life is mine I know the clock is ticking It will, 'till I take my last gasp But for now, I'll just keep on kicking And take my licking, While death keeps pricking Oh...

As I sit alone in my cell My mind starts to dwell On the fact that I’m still here Trapped in my own hell Alone and imprisoned By my own fear As I continue my sentence Year after year My own prison I've built Out of my own depression and shame Unwilling to forgive I have...

Doing Time
I try to live my life free from worldly fetish At times I experience a lot of mental anguish I’m stuck in a mental prison, feeling delusional Imagination running wild, maybe I’m just emotional As if being punished for an unknown crime Living this life became like doing time I’m having countless dreams that don’t make no sense I often lie awake...

Doing Time
Sitting here day after day wondering and dreaming of what i left behind. Not being able to communicate with the outside world. Waiting and hoping for a visit or a call. The days and nights seem to be lost forever. Longing to see you or anyone to say hello. The days pass by just counting...
