(Eerie, 'Exorcist' style chilling intro, leading to...) 
I’m rollin’ up in a big grey bus 
And I’m shackled down, myself that’s who I trust 
The minute I arrived some sucker got hit 
Shanked 10 times behind some bullshit 
Word on the pen the fool was a snitch 
So without hesitatin’ I made a weapon quick 
Found a sharp piece of metal taped it to a stick 
Then the bullhorn sounds that means it’s time to chow 
 
My first prison meal the whole feelin’ was foul 
It wasn’t quite my style but my stomach growled 
So I washed the shit down and hit the weight pile 
The brothers was swole, their attitude was cold 
I felt the tension on the yard from the young and the old 
But I’m a warrior, I got my ground to hold 
So I studied the inmates to see who had the power 
The whites, the blacks or just the gun tower. 
 
Voice over of inmate describing the ‘daddy’ inmates 
 
 
In the blink of an eye a riot broke out 
Blacks put their backs to the wall ‘cos it was North an South 
Somebody shouts and everybody had doubts 
Then the bullets started flippin’, took two men out 
Then they rushed everybody back to their cells 
Damn the pen is different from the county jail 
I’m in a one man cell, I know my life’s on the scale 
I wonder if that gunman is goin’ to hell 
 
This is my second day, I’m on a ten year stay 
I learnt my first lesson; in the pen you don’t play 
I saw a brother kill another ‘cos they said he was gay 
But that’s the way it is, been that way for years 
When his body hit the ground I heard a couple of cheers 
It kinda hurt me inside that they were glad he died 
And I asked myself just who had the power 
The whites, the blacks or just the gun tower. 
 
More inmate voice overs about the screws and the guv'nor 
 
You see the whites got a thing they call white pride 
Blacks got the muscle, Mexicans got the knives 
You gotta be wise ya wanna stay alive 
Go toe to toe with a sucker no matter what size. 
A fool tried to sweat me acting like he was hard 
I stuck him twice in the neck and left him dead in the yard 
It was smooth how I did it ‘cos nobody could see 
With my jacket on my arm and my knife on the side of me 
 
Bam-Bam it was over, another fool bites the dust 
I went crazy in the pen with nobody to trust 
I’m benchin’ 10 quarters so I’m hard to sweat 
Use my tat gun to engrave my set. 
They call me a lifer ‘cos I’m good as dead 
I live in the hole so the floor is my bed 
And I ask myself again who had the power 
The whites, the blacks or just the gun tower. 
 
Final inmate voiceover, concludes; 
“Man, the wardens  was all over us, it was all goin’ down 
Tension was all over, I could definitely feel that. 
Then they took us out, moved us over to the other yard 
Where there was more drama 
The warnin’ shot was a hit”
