Earthman's Jail

Maybe God looks at me the way I'm looking at you,
wondering what next you're gonna do,
you've been searching all around since you're conscious you're alive,
now that you're here you know you have to survive,
you got a heavy price to pay for the errors of your past,
so you're thinking to yourself..are you really gonna last?
the world is filling up and life is getting really rough,
but nothing is a guarantee not even if you're tough,
you may not really understand what I'm trying to say,
but you know you got to make it so take it day by day
and one step at a time you came and met the system,
while you're in your flesh keep your eyes on them,
every human being that's who I'm talking about,
keep your eyes wide open and shut your mouth.
Welcome to Earthmans Jail! God has got your number,
everybody that you meet is a selected member,
keep your business to yourself don't mix nor meddle,
take nothing from no man no matter what they peddle,
this place ain't heaven it's penance for your soul,
before you get to leave you'll watch your flesh grow old,
your mind might fall apart; your heart might stop,
you'll be at the bottom when you used to be on top,
find a purpose come to know your direction,
don't throw away your chances having too much fun,
remember where you are ain't the end of the rainbow,
live close with your God for everything you need to know,
you're doing time so be patient..be humble,
you only hurt yourself when you fret and you grumble,
everything comes to an end even your pain,
when you put down your cross you will start over again.
