Parole Board - Jail Lyrics

Hard iron bars, shivs that make scars
If you a new fish better get in a car
Ten p.m. kites, Six a.m. lights
Watch for the shanks that come out at night
Yo you a convict ain't got no rights
So when you be ready you be ready to fight (fight)

Communal showers, stalls with bars
Communal chow, towers with guards
Communal weight pile out on the yard
Communal trustees shufflin' decks a cards
Shifty-eyed snitches, seven year itches
Buzzsaw snores and withdrawal twitches
If you wanna eat, get a job in the kitchen
Figure it out ain't nobody gonna teach you

All you first timers, fish and fresh meat
Your jumpsuit pressed and your bunks all neat
Lookin' all around with dem frightened eyes
Lemme see your jacket, don't try no lies (lies)

C.O. patdowns, C.O. shakedowns,
With all they questions you better not get down
C.O. counts and C.O. lockdowns
When they come huntin' you better not break down
Commissary tuna, commissary stamps
Contraband's easier down in the camps
Used to ride in a Caddy an' carried a Glock
Now your best friend's a what? Lock in a sock (lock in a sock)

Controlled movement, strolls on da track
Controlled substances, hide yo stack
Controlled lockers rumbled by new jacks
Controlled visits sittin' back to back
Greasy stank fryers, rusty old pliers
Diesel therapy with frequent fliers
Fleecy pruno, orange attire
Better catch the chain before you expire

All you first timers, fish and fresh meat
Your jumpsuit pressed and your bunks all neat
Lookin' all around with dem frightened eyes
Lemme see your jacket an' don't try no lies (lies)
