Lace Ya Boots Up
By LeVar E. Jones

Welcome to my town! Hope you're prepared, you got a weapon? There's no time to be scared. Mind ya own bizz, be a soldier on the front line, keep ya head on a swivel, it can crack at any time. Watch ya surroundings, watch the other races, watch where they go, peep the look on their faces. Never walk alone, stay on your toes, be alert, because in my town, you can really get hurt. It's not really my town, jus got an extended stay, not knowing what will happen throughout the day. In my town, it's the blacks, bloods, and crips, against the southsiders when deep! They wanna trip, knives rolling around, with orange pepper spray, making the guards on duty, earn their daily pay. Guards not getting close, they don't wanna be a victim, and they got stabbed and puncture, something in their system. When they got enough guards and the smoke clears, then they start charging at us in their riot gear, laying inmates down, just to apply a zip tie, others being airlifted to the hospital outside. Prison politics you gotta fight, no matter what, so before you start walking, lace ya boots up.
