Sleep Tight

Sleep Tight

Caught in a wreck, got a hole in your neck
Making guards do their jobs and earn their checks

Here comes the crash cart. They'll try to restart your heart
It's too late 'cause you knew your actions weren't smart

You wanna story? Well, I got a good one you can share
After you hear it, you'll want to keep them in prayer

Where I've been, a lot of tough guys will stare
Like a game when you're young, but it's always a dare

Not a day goes by you'll think will be grand
When you point that finger, three is pointing back on that hand

How much can you take? Bet you'll plan a prison break
Gotta turn yourself in, I guarantee you you'll flake

A cold place where guards carry mice trained for your face
Carry a weapon, they're sure to give you a case

You ain't built like that. Stop acting like you Rocky
That ego will get you in trouble. You'll get holes if you're cocky

Here's a cold image, "Bend the fuck over and cough."
Go to the yard and fight so the guard can blow your head off

Stay out of trouble because they got shit that breaks bones
Punctured lungs, lacerations, while trapped in the danger zone

Don't let the bedbugs bite, I didn't mean to fright
But that's prison life. It's real, and I hope you can sleep tight
