Doing Time
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 they're trying to get me/
So I sleep with one eye open and a shiv in my mattress/
Can't let them catch me off guard tweaking like an addict/
I can't enjoy my yard with other people playing ball/
I gotta watch my back so my back against the wall/
My hand on my shiv alert 24/7/
Can't even trust my own kind or anyone for that matter/
Everybody gangbanging trying to earn a few strips/
I refuse to be a victim so I'm playing with my knife/
Survive by any means is the only thing on my mind/
Fighting through these dark days waiting on the Sunshine/
Doing what I gotta do just to get by/
But I won't be a punk so it's respect me or die/
I got years to go but you know how that go/
If somebody cross the line they have to add more/
I know the game and how it go, when they think you a punk/
Try to bait you in with funny talk to make you a punk/
Or call you out to fight just to see if you'll do it/
If they do, you better fight for your life or get ruined/
I don't care if you're 4' 2" and they're six eight/
You better grab a weapon be ready to bang/
Let the whole unit know you stand as a man/
You gotta build your reputation of not caring/
So the next dude thinking he tough will give up/
Your best bet, is to mind your own business/
Because if you do anything they'll find a witness/
The game is not the same cuz they'll add fifty years/
They're playing dirty games and they'll lie to get it/
Don't try to kick it, just do your time/
But if it's going down, make them respect your mind/
