All Day & a Night

[Chorus]
Down for life
They're gonna put you down for life
They're gonna hold you down for life
Can't keep your head up when you're down
Down for life
They're gonna put you down for life
Yeah, they're gonna hold you down for life
Can't keep your head up when you're down for life

[Verse 1]
Three strikes, twenty-five to life
Mandatory lean on either forgiving 'em or killing 'em
Public defender?
Might as well surrender
I bet they don't remember who's a first-time offender
In and out like a homemade check
Send 'em back to the maximum security bank, huh
Post the bail, cut the deal
Another brick in the wall, another spoke in the wheel

[Pre-Chorus]
They always come back for more
Get your stamp on your way out the door
'Cause the shitshow never ends
Thank you, come again
They always come back for more
Get your stamp on your way out the door
'Cause the shitshow never ends
Thank you, come again

[Chorus]
Down for life
They're gonna put you down for life
They're gonna hold you down for life
Can't keep your head up when you're down
Down for life
They're gonna put you down for life
Yeah, they're gonna hold you down for life
Can't keep your head up when you're down for life

[Verse 2]
You got it twisted like licorice
A quick fix like a nail to a crucifix
(Holy shit)
Lock 'em up
Man, it makes me sick
That they call it complicated like arithmetic
Take your number when they take your name
Here's your go-to-jail card
It's just a fucking game
They don't skip a beat and line 'em up and list 'em
It's just the rhythm of the system

[Verse 3: Bryan Garris & Drew York]
Just when you think you're out they pull you back in
'Cause when it comes to getting better, don't know where to begin
Fuck
Just when you think you're out they pull you back in
'Cause when it comes to getting better, don't know where to begin
The reality is that you'll never be free
You're sentenced to life
Lights out, motherfucker
The reality is that you'll never be free
You're sentenced to life
Lights out, motherfucker

[Pre-Chorus]
They always come back for more
Get your stamp on your way out the door
'Cause the shitshow never ends
Thank you, come again
They always come back for more
Get your stamp on your way out the door
'Cause the shitshow never ends
Thank you, come again

[Chorus]
Down for life
They're gonna put you down for life
They're gonna hold you down for life
Can't keep your head up when you're down
Down for life
They're gonna put you down for life
Yeah, they're gonna hold you down for life
Can't keep your head up when you're down for life
