| Just waking up, I gotta thank God
|
| Fired up a square, that’s how my day starts
|
| Early mornin' buzzin' got me lookin' at life
|
| Outside, I see movin' pictures, look at the lights
|
| It’s just another Saturday it seems like
|
| Got dressed and hit the corner with my team, right
|
| Smoke it, roll it up and pass it around
|
| Now I’m stoned and my ass is barely draggin' the ground
|
| No sooner than I think they woulda thought of
|
| A cop walks over, never saw him
|
| «Excuse me, mister officer man, I wasn’t tryna disrespect»
|
| And started coughin' again
|
| Eyes red as a bandana
|
| And one time heavy on his antenna
|
| At his request they sent a squad car
|
| And then they put my black ass behind bars
|
| Just wanna pack up my bags, and get out of this hole
|
| Can’t believe they treat me so bad
|
| Can’t believe they actin' so cold
|
| I just wanna leave this room
|
| I’m still sitting on this concrete couch
|
| Just waiting for the judge to say, that I’m gon' be free today, yeah
|
| Fingerprinted, gettin' booked in
|
| They fed a nigga Johnny, so I took ten
|
| 'Cause I’m knowing that I’ll be sittin' here the whole night
|
| Empty drunk tank, it’s finna be a cold flight
|
| I finally come up on some housin'
|
| Old celly, so I’m battin' me a thousand
|
| And plus I got a bottom bunk pass
|
| Boss came in with his punk ass
|
| Talkin' to a nigga like it’s date time
|
| Askin' where I’m from, I’m from H-town
|
| Niggas askin' me what I’m in for
|
| Nosy motherfuckers want some info
|
| I tell him, «Dog, I ain’t done shit
|
| You know these redneck crackers think they run shit»
|
| It’s lights out, I tie my mat down
|
| Chuck it on the rack and stretch my ass out
|
| Gonna pack up my bags, and get out of this hole
|
| Can’t believe they treat me so bad
|
| Can’t believe they actin' so cold
|
| I just wanna leave this room
|
| I’m still sitting on this concrete couch
|
| Just waiting for the judge to say, that I’m gon' be free today, yeah
|
| It’s court call in the halls
|
| Strip a nigga down to his balls
|
| Bare-butt naked in my tennis shoes
|
| The nighttime sergeant want an interview
|
| They push us out like livestock
|
| «Ain't no talkin' while I’m talkin', this is my block»
|
| I finally get to see me a judge
|
| I’m a Black man, so she got a grudge
|
| Old bitch full of race hate
|
| And a nigga quick to represent the gray state
|
| I ain’t got a lawyer, I don’t need one
|
| Give me thirty days, you get three-one
|
| I ain’t tryna piss in a jug, bitch
|
| Just because I’m Black, I get fucked with
|
| I bet if I had been a white dude
|
| I’d have never been arrested, look at Michael
|
| And even if I swam like a fish, though
|
| They still would’ve threw me in the Crisco
|
| And fried a nigga’s ass in some hot grease
|
| I’m just tryna get my ass out the hot seat
|
| Just wanna pack up my bags, and get out of this hole
|
| Can’t believe they treat me so bad
|
| Can’t believe they actin' so cold
|
| I just wanna leave this room
|
| I’m still sitting on this concrete couch
|
| Just waiting for the judge to say, that I’m gon' be free today, yeah |
