Testify

Man Sentence, a 100 years
in prison , on the notion.
If he defends himself, and workout.
daily, that one day he will walk free....

I can testify

I'm less afraid of a nigga
who would take my life
as oppose to routine
these shit,sleep,yard and eat
while guarded by max security routines

Woman of my icon came to visit
the other day, Monday, I believe it was.
Stating cause these conjugals visits
only satisfy a nut crawling in a tree
she cheated with the neighbor...
Now aint that some shit?
for the simpletons

Every night
I focus the most certain thoughts
into breaking out only to be caught
adding on chomp up
charges
I was free once....
to execute the plans to overthrow
this everybody, is somebody narrative
now ghetto don't care if you hungry
you either a fish or shark
eat or be eaten cause prison
is the mentality
we living in
stop & listen

I can testify

Burden with truth
only gathers lies
like....
what if we die in prison
just to get to the afterlife
only what we learn in the living
was a really a lie
and heaven and hell
only existed in our minds
to be fool so long
would you really consider
dying while you staying alive...?
prison makes me think
is all I'm saying
don't kill the messenger
cause he got sent
by the man

I can testify

I hide beneath my bed
hoping he doesn't rape my OZ
I scream
I scream again
nobody comes
to check
so butt check is only invited me to be label
as bitch
so I shank him
dead with blood stains on my white t
deepen the story prison isn't reality
in or out you still a TARGET

I can testify

I tested positive
now I weed myself again
where it all starts
in a corrections facility
I broke my parole
