Prison Is

By: Wonders aka JRR

Prison is:
Long days and long nights
It's all about what you got, right?
Packages and full buys, or so and so's wife
talkin' 'bout she ain't got shit
that bum bitch
fuckin' for chicken and rice
Well, I haven't got a poptart to my name
But I'll still be alright
Cuz at the end of the day
this may be what you call life
but when I go home I've got
real things to do with mine
isn;t this your 2nd or 3rd bid?
Prolly cuz you never learned shit.
Just came right back
as a P.V. or a new Din
you need to take this time
to learn what it is
to be a better person
and an actual mom to your kids
instead of walkin' around
Like this is home
and "Oh well. It is what it is."
caught up on packages
or cookin' that and this
and gossipin' 'bout what they did
and she did this
but you just ate with them
cuz your fake ass shit
actin' like you're in here doin' big things
but the truth of it is
without your fam you wouldn't have
a fucking pot to hold piss
you're not the reason that you're comfortable
you just front like it is
you're ignorant...
If your man can pass as your grandad
call is what it is--he's a trick
who're you tryin' to kid?
if any of this hit home
you should really look at why that is.
So get it together now
it's time to grow up.
I leave this September.
You leave in 2000 and what?
