Just Got Played

I'm still skinny, I really can't gain no weight.
I did my crime and I paid my debt to the state.
Can't start thinking bad, or I'll be back inside
facing my 3ed strike. my family already cried
surrounded by women who hearts stayed broke
when I was in prison can't remember the letters I wrote
I been to some prisons that almost made me quit
seen someone get stabbed blood quirting out and shit
seen guards running and heard block guns go "boom,"
pepper spray takes away all the oxygen in the room
Been around thugs drug dealers and thieves
been around snitches they even told on me!
so am I done? will I come back for more?
will I get stuck going in circles in that revolving door?
That door wont stop turning. gotta watch where I go,
because these white people cant wait to violate my parole.
so I watch where I step they waiting for me to trip.
waiting to give me my 3rd strike. waiting for me to slip.
If I keep committing crimes, I keep them employed
I keep getting labeled my character still being destroyed
If I don't do nothing wrong they wont get me
wont be going through this bullshit here in CDC
walk the straight and narrow maybe find me a trade
if I go back into another courtroom then i just got played!
