I was in jail too, man, it's cold-blooded in jail. Nixon wouldn’t have lasted two days, they'd have turned him out. Right, niggas was waitin' on Nixon come to jail.
"What’s happenn', Tricky Dick?" Ha-ha-ha.
"Yeah, I'm gonna see how tricky you are!"
Couldn't you see Nixon, right? "Let me make this perfectly clear"
I went to jail for income tax evasion, right? You know, I didn't know a motherfuckin' thing about no taxes. I told the judge, said, you know, "I forgot." You know, he said "You'll remember next year, nigga." Started writing on your ass. They give niggas time like it's lunch down there. You go down there lookin’ for justice, that’s what you find: just us.
Day one nigga: 40 years, man, I saw the judge, just 40 years.
Straight up: "40 years." Boom! "That's right, fella, 40 years. You want some more time, buddy?" And dude had a court-appointed lawyer, right, copping a plea for him, he said: "Your honor, this man is not a heroin dealer per se, he’s been manipulated by these people. He was merely trying to get enough monies together to help his dear mom, she had a spinal condition, she needed an operation. And he didn't have the funds to do this, your honor, and he was merely trying to raise the money, he tried every odd job he could, and he could not raise the monies. When the officers caught him with the 280 kilos, he was trying to purchase a hospital in the Bahamas."
Judge said: "motion denied." Boom! Nigga was so fucked up when they let him away, he said "Thank you, your honor!"
Made me mad too, jack. You know, I said "Gave the motherfucker 40 years? That's cold-blooded. That motherfucker sentences me, but he ain't gonna get my dignity, kiss my ass, jack." I stepped right up to that shit, said "What it is?"
"Huh? Run it down", judge said. "What are you doing in the next couple of months, Mr. Pryor?"
"Well, I’ll be helping the crippled children, and... anything I can for humanity, sir!"
I had my pants all down by my ankles when he was finishing.
"Just don't stick it in too far, your honor, please!"
You got to be funny in jail or give up the booty. Huh, well nobody fuckin' me no place! I made niggas laugh all day long, keep-keep their mind off the booty, just... nigga tried to fuck me, you would've read about it in Jet. [Would've] been Picture of the Week. It goes, doctors with uh... "Mr. Pryor, would you let the dick go now, please? We just want to saw it back on the body, uh..."
