Lyrics

[Chorus] Down for life They're gonna put you down for life They're gonna hold you down for life Can't keep your head up when you're down Down for life They're gonna put you down for life Yeah, they're gonna hold you down for life Can't keep your head up when you're down for life [Verse 1] Three strikes, twenty-five to life Mandatory lean on either forgiving 'em or killing 'em Public defender? Might as well surrender I bet they don't remember who's a first-time offender In and out like a homemade check Send 'em back to the maximum security bank, huh Post the bail, cut the deal Another brick in the wall, another spoke in the wheel [Pre-Chorus] They always come back for more Get your stamp on your way out the door 'Cause the shitshow never ends Thank you, come again They always come back for more Get your stamp on your way out the door 'Cause the shitshow never ends Thank you, come again [Chorus] Down for life They're gonna put you down for life They're gonna hold you down for life Can't keep your head up when you're down Down for life They're gonna put you down for life Yeah, they're gonna hold you down for life Can't keep your head up when you're down for life [Verse 2] You got it twisted like licorice A quick fix like a nail to a crucifix (Holy shit) Lock 'em up Man, it makes me sick That they call it complicated like arithmetic Take your number when they take your name Here's your go-to-jail card It's just a fucking game They don't skip a beat and line 'em up and list 'em It's just the rhythm of the system [Verse 3: Bryan Garris & Drew York] Just when you think you're out they pull you back in 'Cause when it comes to getting better, don't know where to begin Fuck Just when you think you're out they pull you back in 'Cause when it comes to getting better, don't know where to begin The reality is that you'll never be free You're sentenced to life Lights out, motherfucker The reality is that you'll never be free You're sentenced to life Lights out, motherfucker [Pre-Chorus] They always come back for more Get your stamp on your way out the door 'Cause the shitshow never ends Thank you, come again They always come back for more Get your stamp on your way out the door 'Cause the shitshow never ends Thank you, come again [Chorus] Down for life They're gonna put you down for life They're gonna hold you down for life Can't keep your head up when you're down Down for life They're gonna put you down for life Yeah, they're gonna hold you down for life Can't keep your head up when you're down for life
