Inside Looking Out

Lyrics

[Black] Sitting in the county, I'm living in an hourglass Twiddling my fucking thumbs, waiting on time to pass Till my next court date, but if you been to the county You know you're holding your own fate In your own hands, about to go in front of the judge Hoping for a chance, to speak out, and just be heard To put the scene of the crime in your own words Thinking witness, man, I doubt to my scenario Maybe now, but I got one shot, so here I go Right now I can't afford to be locked up Niggas on the cut to keep my dope and that's fucked up For what I said you know I about to get a gain or time They found me guilty and now I'm confined To an over-crowded cell in the county For once my bar's set, they better file a bounty hunter To make the most and, you know, stick around Cause like a thief in the night, I'm damn sure gone skip town But who could blame a brother for doing this I got spotted by a viewer on America's Most Wanted list But a nigga like Black, I think not But for now I'm on the inside looking out [Killa Hoe] Sitting in the courtroom, I'm staring at the fucking judge Don't want to plead cause I know that I had the drugs And the justice system is fucked up My chances of being black and getting off really suck Cause I'm a young black man with a couple of problems I really hope the jury see it my way and try to solve 'em Because the judge got me in a state of deppression Once in a jail cell, now I learned my lesson They found me guilty and sentenced me 20 to life I'm reading page by page of the Bible every night Praying to God to forgive me for my sins Saying to myself that I'll never do it again Lying to myself, now ain't that a damn shame Cuz when I get out this bitch I'm jumping back in the game But for now I better do my time With good behavior I can get parole at about 9 As I'm walking through the gate my momma starts to scream and shout Feeling bad cause I'm on the inside looking out [Black] Back to the motherfuckin' stank, fuck the dumb shit Cause this time I'm damn sure gone run a tank Getting swol' and a motherfucker thinking about them stank holes Coming through this bitch, dropping niggas by the ankles And the niggas that's been know what I'm talking about Is my stomach strong enough to hold this shit till I get out This motherfuckers filthy, a chamber full of misfits Three [?] and a cot, yeah, some hard ass biscuits The county's a bitch, boy, as paranoid as a nigga get Slap the living shit out of a nigga for a cigarette They got me off the street although my life was very fucked up For jacking for cars, now I'm jacking for commissary No time to play bully in the county, ain't no stars, nigga Trying to squeeze your head through the motherfuckin' bars Of a bitch who'll take yo shoes off your feet Or even worse, they try to hang you with the motherfuckin' bed sheets Sleep with your eyes open if you wanna see daylight Cause when I get out this bitch I'm damn sure gone go right Cause coming up in the street is what my life was all about But how can I come up from the inside looking out?
