| Real niggas | 
| (Let's make this official, baby) | 
| Real before rappin | 
| Respect before success | 
| I’ve been down | 
| For oh so long | 
| Starin' at these prison walls | 
| I want you to… | 
| Step in my 1−5-0s for a minute | 
| Step in my shoes | 
| Walk in my shoes | 
| Yeah | 
| Just want you to see things like how I see em | 
| You know | 
| This is for all my niggas locked up | 
| Check it out | 
| Bottom bunk, sleepin' in a 2 man cell | 
| C.O. | 
| at my do', and I’m mad as hell | 
| Punk police cowboy from Texas | 
| Talkin some shit 'bout servin' breakfast | 
| It’s 5:15, he must be psycho | 
| Or just plain stupid for thinkin' I might go | 
| I cussed him out, he gave me distance | 
| But pressed his body alarm for quick assistance | 
| Now these muthafuckas wanna do it the rough way | 
| Five C.O.'s is what it takes to cuff Dre | 
| Straight to the hole, but it ain’t no thang | 
| My celly got dank so I’m Kool And The Gang | 
| See the L.T. | 
| for the disposition | 
| 28 days commissary restriction | 
| Two days later back on the main line | 
| Dopefiend’s owe, so I go claim mine | 
| 25 cartons, now I’m straight | 
| Keep 17, give the homeboys 8 | 
| Cop some hop, start back boomin' | 
| Got em sendin' money on the Western Union | 
| 2 fat grams of that china white | 
| Gon' have these dopefiends tryin to fight | 
| Grabbed 3 cartons to goose some dank | 
| And 5 whole packs for some hooch to drink | 
| Now I’m chillin' in my cell lookin out the window | 
| Drinkin' pruno, smokin' indo | 
| Grabbed my shank, but when I’m finsta' bounce | 
| They lock a nigga down for Census count | 
| Look at jack books while I’m waitin' | 
| Might even do a little masturbatin' | 
| Trippin' off that bitch Dominique | 
| I bust one quick while my celly sleep | 
| Doors rack open, now it’s time for movement | 
| Goddamn pruno got a nigga too bent | 
| Bounce to the movies with my homies | 
| The title sound good but the shit was phony | 
| Damn cigarettes won’t let me breathe | 
| Niggas gettin' restless, wantin' to leave | 
| The lights flash on, quick as fuck | 
| Somebody in the bathroom just got stuck | 
| If he makes it, he’ll be lucky | 
| Six-inch blade stuck straight in gutry | 
| 25 cops rush the spot | 
| Now I got one-time on my jock | 
| Stash my shank underneath the seat | 
| And make sure no blood is on my feet | 
| Punk police wanna take me down | 
| They put me on the wall and they shake me down | 
| Now it’s back to the block strapless | 
| But I got two mo' in my mattress | 
| One mo' time I peep the cops | 
| Fuckin' with them boys from Grape Street, Watts | 
| I said, «Punk muthafucka, won’t you leave 'em the hell alone» | 
| Down to the third tier and got on the telephone | 
| Called my bitch, but she showed me no love | 
| Got on the phone, shot me a cold look | 
| She said she can’t talk, she got a sore throat | 
| But she probably gettin' fucked by a sport coat | 
| I’m goin' through it | 
| Yeah | 
| Y’all real niggas know | 
| I’ve been down | 
| Oh so long | 
| Starin' at these prison walls | 
| It’s the same ol' song | 
| Yeah, muthafucka |

| I could tell you the story from rags to riches | 
| How I did time with fags and snitches |
