Time In The Slammer
By Mystic Compilations
[INTRO]
Running late with no sleep intake,
I hide my time doing crime, for my crew sake.
While I dream of higher stakes off the junkiest,
My family wrote-me-off for dead, they say, “what a flunky”?
I was educated on the streets, I’m no junkie.
[VERSE]
I grew up on the streets jungle from shelter to shelter learning how to hustle,
Hardened by the gangster life, I stood with a muzzle.
They led me down a road of darkness,
Dark choices laid before me full of sadness.
Brutality was always part of their game,
It kept us all in line—that’s how they reign.
[PER-CHORUS 1]
Gangster life is all I know,
Now my sentence is sitting on life-row,
In the middle of a heist, who’s my foes?
Landed me in prison,
My crime, my time, my reason.
Lay down your arms,
Caught in a trap with a foe tripping alarms.
Put your arms above your head,
While fleeing the scene I was left for dead.
Kneel and don’t move,
There was no countermove.
They had all the proof,
How could I disapprove...,
I had no next move…,
How could I disapprove...,
How could I disapprove....
[CHORUS]
Choking on the fumes of the past,
A heist that went bad still burns within—I won't collapse.
That's what keeps me alive,
Revenge was never a game made to strive.
For now, I will obstinate and observe what’s ahead,
While I lay down the ground works in its stead,
They will know their future will I shred.
I will lay it all to waste,
With no hesitation—I will make haste.
They struck at my core,
Know I will leave them on the floor.
They left me with no way out,
I won't listen to their shout.
I'll take them out...,
I'll take them out...,
I'll take them out....
[PRE-CHORUS 2]
They struck at my core,
Now I will leave them on the floor.
They left me with no way out,
I won't listen to their shout.
I'll take them out...,
I'll take them out...,
I'll take them out....
[BRIDGE]
I watch my back, looking for a sneak attack,
Who is next or will they come back-to-back.
I ready to take on all defiance,
Live or die is my compliance.
I’m my own reliance,
Let them come and face my defiance.
[PER-CHORUS 3]
Gangster life is all I know,
Now my sentence is sitting on life-row,
In the middle of a heist, who’s my foes?
Landed me in prison,
My crime, my time, my reason.
Lay down your arms,
Caught in a trap with a foe tripping alarms.
Put your arms above your head,
While fleeing the scene I was left for dead.
Kneel and don’t move,
There was no countermove.
They had all the proof,
How could I disapprove...,
I had no next move…,
How could I disapprove...,
How could I disapprove....
[OUTRO]
I’m running wild with thoughts of revenge,
While I stay silent in this graveyard prison waiting to avenge.
Vengeance is blazing..., Vengeance is blazing..., Vengeance is blazing...,
I'm marching with my blade of malaise....
Time is my fuel…,
Revenge is my jewel…,
I won't lose my cool…,
I won't lose my cool…,
I will rule....
