Black Inmate 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
