My girl is gettin on my last nerve and I don't wanna hurt her
 She wants me to get a job
 I get harassed cause I'm laying on my ass like a big slob
 But everywhere I go  I get rejected
 They won't hire a motherfucker with a jail record
 So the least I could do  is look presentable
 But I'm labelled by the city as a criminal
 They won't give me no slack Jack
 And I got one strike against me already because my skin is black
 See I'm irrelevant to Help Wanted signs
 And they wonder why niggaz commit crimes
 My girl pays the rent gas and light
 Goes to class at days and works at night
 I'm trying to get some money I can hand to her
 But I ain't with bein a motherfuckin janitor
 Plus I got my little nigga
 And I'm tryin my best to be the right kind of father figure
 But my hands is startin to shake
 I'm tryin to hold my head because I'm reachin for the thirty-eight
 I pick it up, man fuckit
 I gotta go out and hit the street and get some ducats
 Lookin for somethin to hit
 I throw on my hood, cause I'm about to do some stupid shit
 I step in the Seven-Eleven
 Come fast with the cash or get your ass sent to heaven
 He must hit the alarm, cause I'm perspirin
 cause now I'm hearin motherfuckin sirens
 I tried to run out, three thousand decent
 Next thing I know, I'm sittin in a fuckin precinct
 for tryin to feed a family
 I need rubber balls, cause I'm fallin off the edge of sanity

 What a fucked up night
 And I'm mad because the cop put on the handcuffs too fuckin tight
 Central Bookin is where they sent me
 So they could take a couple of pictures after they fingerprint me
 Then they put me in a cell
 And it was all full of niggaz that was dirty and stinkin as hell
 Four hours passed already, so now I'm yawnin
 And I'm hopin to see the judge in the mornin
 Finally they call my name and I get up with speed
 to appear before the judge, and make a plead
 I saw the judge, he was a brother
 He said, "How do you plead?" I said, "Not guilty, motherfucker!"
 Then I got kicked out of court, sent to the Island
 where they got all of these young brothers wildin
 And all I seen was teenagers
 And brothers just slicin one another with straight razors
 I saw this nigga, he was stone tall
 I said, "Yo, I gotta make this motherfuckin phone call"
 He said, "These whores are mine, and you ain't widdit"
 and put his face all up in mine, so I hit it
 C.O.'s came, niggaz started to zing
 Now I gotta do about three days in the bank
 I did my time and now I'm back from my vacation
 Right on track, they put me back in populations
 I got dressed, and hit the mess hall
 Then when I came back, FINALLY I got to make my phone call
 My girl is bringin out the man in me
 Cause she's yellin and shit, while I'm hangin on the edge of sanity

 I'm sittin Up North, and doin three to nine
 And it feels like my whole life is bein left behind
 I'm goin crazy in this place
 And I'm countin the days, cause I'm about to be a mental case
 My little son is gettin bigger
 And he picked up the phone one day and thought I was some other nigga
 Yeah that bitch is tryin to play me like a sucker
 Cause on the down and low I heard another nigga fucked her
 Now homicide is on my mind
 for knowin that this bitch is at home, screwin while I'm doin time
 And the nigga that's hittin the skins
 is a bold motherfucker cause he's one of my own friends
 But that's alright cause I got somethin for they asses
 And when I see him I'ma smash his fuckin glasses
 Livin in hell but now my blood is gettin cold
 Two months later, I got released on parole
 So now I'm rollin colder than a blizzard
 I got some iron from my man and went to pay the stupid bitch a visit
 I'm ringin the bell like hell
 Oh nobody's home huh? So I kicked it til the shit fell
 Stepped in the house with my finger on the trigger
 Butter ass nigga stuttered, "Wha-wha-what's up nigga?"
 My bitch was scared, cause she knew that I was steamin
 She ran her ass to the back and started screamin
 *one shot fired* to the body *two shots fired* to the head
 *one shot fired* put the barrel in his mouth, makin sure he's dead
 And the police ain't cannin me
 inside a cell, cause I just fell off the edge of sanity
