[Verse 3]
Four in the morning, lights in my face
That's the time, you know the place
Cuffed✦ in the room with the two-way✦ glass
Detects in effect✦ cold doggin'✦ my ass
"What's your date of birth?" "What's your real name?"
I stuck to my alias, I know the game
If they don't know who you are, then they don't know what you've done
"You're just makin'✦ this harder✦ on yourself, son"
I know this shit by heart, I'm too clever✦
"Have you ever✦ been arrested before?"✦ Nope, never✦
D.A. reject✦ all over✦ his face
You see, no confession, no case
Then my boy started illin',✦ talkin'✦ and tellin'✦
Son of a bitch, he was a snitch

[Verse 3]
Under✦ I went, I caught a case and half
He dropped the mallet,✦ then the judge laughed
Now I'm in the penzo,✦ chillin' like a real pro
I can't move 'til the man says go
A puppet✦ of the big game, an institutional thing
I wouldn't be here if I fed my brain
Got knowledge from school books instead of street crooks
Now all I get is penitentiary hard looks
The joint is like an oven✦ of caged✦ heat
You're just a number,✦ another piece of tough meat
Killers and robbers are all you greet
Act soft, you will get beat
On death row they got they own hot seat
For those who feel that they are truly✦ elite✦
The last thing you see's a priest
The lights dim, your life ends
[Outro]
