Penitentiary Calls Lyrics

Them penitentiary calls keep a nigga grounded

Talking to my People keep me level headed

Wanting more Its a different lifestyle

Concrete walls a drive you wild

Some people gone make it home

But some people don't make it out

Them penitentiary calls keep a nigga grounded

Talking to my people keep me level headed wanting more

Its a different lifestyle

Concrete walls a drive you wild

Some people gone make it home

But some people don't make it out

Talking to my niggas got me on the phone reminiscing

Thinking bout the good old days

When you was out here wit us getting it

Talking to yo people in a cell

Now that's a different feeling

Posting people on the internet

Don't mean shit go and visit

Put some money on they books

Put some money on the phone

Let them people call you

When they in there feeling all alone

You can make a person day

By talking to them or even pray

Let them tell you about they future plans

That shit a make they day

You ever go to jail buy a knife

Before you buy a phone

Them niggas in there shiest

They gone team up got to show them some

Let them niggas know you ain't a hoe

You got to stand ya ground

The streets gone be the streets

But when you in there you a number now

I know some niggas who was getting it in

I'm talking papered up

But got more time then people who be rapping

The system ain't for us

You ever go to court pay off yo lawyer

Or he might not fight

If you black then they think you guilty

Don't believe the hype

Picking up the phone calling home

They tryna find some peace

Talking to they people another thing

That keep they mind at ease

They tryna listen to ya life

And take they mind up off the rest

The stories on the outside keep them hungry

Time gone tell the rest

Free my cousin CMB

Free my partner lil CT

Don't let that time break you down

Stand strong and focus g

Thinking bout drew in Colorado

Keep ya head up g

Ya family got a message for you

They love don't forget it g

Them penitentiary calls keep a nigga grounded

Talking to my People keep me level headed

Wanting more Its a different lifestyle

Concrete walls a drive you wild

Some people gone make it home

But some people don't make it out

Them penitentiary calls keep a nigga grounded

Talking to my people keep me level headed wanting more

Its a different lifestyle

Concrete walls a drive you wild

Some people gone make it home

But some people don't make it out

Before you bust that pistol

Better make sure people solid with

You cant go to jail

And be broke

The streets ain't got no pension

My uncle did seventeen years

And he ain't even do it

Police out here lying on him

Took his family out here through it

Remember going to see my brother

Had to pull up on him fresh

Picture time can be at anytime

You got to look ya best

Remember sticking quarters in the machine

Trying to get him food

A miner setback

For a major comeback

Now its a better you

The smile that you got

When you walk out the gates

A different glow

You ever see yo people come home

From a bid then you a know

A boss ain't a boss

If he ain't got no motion for his workers

How you sending yo mans on a mission

Knowing that's its gonna hurt them

Monkey see monkey do ass people

Get yo own motion doing time

Really different its gone show who in yo circle

What separate me and you

Is if my partner do a bid

I'm a teach him how to get his money up to raise his kids

Send jobs show him skills

Teach him how to get it in

I come from the bottom

And I know that ain't no way to live

My neighborhood a hell hole

But I made it up out that bitch

Learn from your losses

Then turn around and go pop ya shit
