Between the Bars
I'm between the bars, can't get out 'cause I'm stuck
while everybody around me do no good, I got shit for luck.
I'm stuck between the bars, it's hard to get set free.
The only obstacle of staying out is me!
Gotta stay focused, gotta stay sharp, just like a blade,
when I was between the bars, I never had it made.
Between these bars, that's where I get my mail
Between these bars, that's where I cried in my cell
Between these bars, tension is becoming more profound
the night before morning yard, you hear scrapin' noises on the ground
Between these bars, I'm confined to a small space
Can't hug my mom or even wipe the tears off her face
Between these bars, this is not a pleasant scene
to quell riots, they fire off the mini 14.
Between these bars, there's inmates who work with the cops
when his job is on the line, he let's off no warning shots.
I'm stuck between the bars with nothing really to do
I can only do what they say all because I wear blue
and they wear green, meaning they have authority.
Between these bars, most inmates have mixed up priorities
Exposing my war wounds and my permanent scars
A helluva story to tell while I was between the bars.
