About the experiences I been thru when I was in prison.
Picture Yourself

Picture yourself looking at a twinkling star in a room you can't escape,
listening to the man next door cry because he just got raped...
Can You Picture It?
Picture yourself trapped behind walls where you cant do nothing but sleep,
focus on what I'm saying here because the story gets more deep...
Are You Wit' Me?
Picture yourself crying to another soul asking for assistance because you're sick,
but all you get is a lecture to be a better inmate cuz this asshole is a prick...
Are You Thinking?
Picture yourself fighting 5 others in a pitt 'cause your getting latched,
just because you would'nt let anyone succer you into getting taxed.
You Feel Me?
Picture yourself eating food with magots crawling around in your desurt,
forcefully eating parts of it because your hungry and your stomache hurts...
There's More To It...
Picture yourself in a place over populated where everyone hates the other race,
where you're getting stabbed by shanks and catching AIDS is just another case...
This Is Facts...
Picture yourself getting beat by guards who are suppose to protect you,
shackled up in chains like slaves, do you know what they put us through???
This Is Real...
Picture yourself talking to a guard with a badge spitting chewing tobacco in your face,
just because you're walking on the wrong side of the side-walk in this corrupted place...
Oh Yeah...
Picture yourself digging a deep hole and filling it back with dirt by your hand,
and drinking water out of a jug with others because you're thirsty but it's filled with sand...
This Is Truth..
Picture yourself crying in mysery because you miss your family at home,
but the only relieve of stress is being able to take your pain out over the phone...


Can You Picture This Being You?
