Look At Your Face

Look At Your Face

Straight prison cell, toilet and sink by the door
Limit on all of your shit, these dummies come back for more

Say they hate prison and getting all of that time
Then they get out, and go and commit another crime

Then they get caught. Now all of a sudden, they're pissed
Don't blame nobody else 'cause you got cuffs on your wrists

The way you live, how they feed you, the way they talk
The way they look at you, staring at the way you walk

Should be enough to tell you not to get drunk
Do something stupid; they always have an empty bunk

The way guards shoot pepper spray and hit you with their sticks
15 guards all around you and each of them getting licks

Prison cells! The walls are meant to be gray
Meant to represent depression, hoping you stay that way

They can't wait for people to go out and do something stupid
All those double digit enhancements, they're definitely gonna use it

Blame them for what? They went to school night and day
Believing in the judicial system to lock your criminal ass away

You were tough then, now it's been 7 years in that tiny space
Now all you got is tears in your eyes when they look at your face
