Inside Looking Out

[Black]
Sitting in the county, I'm living in an hourglass
Twiddling my fucking thumbs, waiting on time to pass
Till my next court date, but if you been to the county
You know you're holding your own fate
In your own hands, about to go in front of the judge
Hoping for a chance, to speak out, and just be heard
To put the scene of the crime in your own words
Thinking witness, man, I doubt to my scenario
Maybe now, but I got one shot, so here I go
Right now I can't afford to be locked up
Niggas on the cut to keep my dope and that's fucked up
For what I said you know I about to get a gain or time
They found me guilty and now I'm confined
To an over-crowded cell in the county
For once my bar's set, they better file a bounty hunter
To make the most and, you know, stick around
Cause like a thief in the night, I'm damn sure gone skip town
But who could blame a brother for doing this
I got spotted by a viewer on America’s Most Wanted list
But a nigga like Black, I think not
But for now I'm on the inside looking out

[Killa Hoe]
Sitting in the courtroom, I'm staring at the fucking judge
Don't want to plead cause I know that I had the drugs
And the justice system is fucked up
My chances of being black and getting off really suck
Cause I'm a young black man with a couple of problems
I really hope the jury see it my way and try to solve 'em
Because the judge got me in a state of deppression
Once in a jail cell, now I learned my lesson
They found me guilty and sentenced me 20 to life
I'm reading page by page of the Bible every night
Praying to God to forgive me for my sins
Saying to myself that I'll never do it again
Lying to myself, now ain't that a damn shame
Cuz when I get out this bitch I'm jumping back in the game
But for now I better do my time
With good behavior I can get parole at about 9
As I'm walking through the gate my momma starts to scream and shout
Feeling bad cause I'm on the inside looking out

[Black]
Back to the motherfuckin' stank, fuck the dumb shit
Cause this time I'm damn sure gone run a tank
Getting swol' and a motherfucker thinking about them stank holes
Coming through this bitch, dropping niggas by the ankles
And the niggas that's been know what I'm talking about
Is my stomach strong enough to hold this shit till I get out
This motherfuckers filthy, a chamber full of misfits
Three [?] and a cot, yeah, some hard ass biscuits
The county's a bitch, boy, as paranoid as a nigga get
Slap the living shit out of a nigga for a cigarette
They got me off the street although my life was very fucked up
For jacking for cars, now I'm jacking for commissary
No time to play bully in the county, ain't no stars, nigga
Trying to squeeze your head through the motherfuckin' bars
Of a bitch who'll take yo shoes off your feet
Or even worse, they try to hang you with the motherfuckin' bed sheets
Sleep with your eyes open if you wanna see daylight
Cause when I get out this bitch I'm damn sure gone go right
Cause coming up in the street is what my life was all about
But how can I come up from the inside looking out?
