Lyrics
Steel and cinderblock
Mama loved him but couldn't hold him
Running with the big boys much to prove
15 years later sitting in a pod
10 consecutive life sentences never going home
Can't turn right when everything went wrong
It's just the way
Growing up man he hated white people
Hate the cops, hate the country
Hate his friends on Friday night
Hate the girls who didn't fuck him
Hate piles up and lets loose where can't
No one e'er deserve so much in so little time
One misstep you're forever bound
He misses big macs the scent of naked women
Talking to a kid, playing games with his cousins
No one answers calls or writes or comes to
Visit anymore now mama's gone
Birthdays pass without the song
The old joke of dropping the soap
They don't let nobody fuck in jail
Keep their eyes on you it's part of their damn mission
To keep the hands and mouths all to yourself
And if you get someone stand guard
The passion's not the same, it's just coming
There's no emotion there's no love
10 consecutive life sentences, he's never going home
250 years the minimum until his debt is paid
He bets the only ones to think of him each day that
Goes by are the families of the victims
He never even seen them die
He'll never be promoted, never buy a car
Never shoot a gun, drinking at a bar
He'll never fall in love and kiss a woman e'er again
Never call in sick to a real job, never really have a friend
Can you call a man a monster for 20 seconds of his life
Sure he made the worst mistakes should he then be robbed of life
Maybe yeah he does deserve the worst
He's fit to do the time
Maybe God just made those like him
The victim of his own crime
