Iron Prison
By Mystic Compilations
[CATCH PHRASE]
Iron prison is chiseling my name...,
Iron prison hostility sparks a flame...,
Augh..., augh..., augh..., ah..., ah...,
[Intro]
Life is hard on the inside, prison bars tell the news,
Every day you face fallen dreams chasing your continents blues.
Always ready to fight back prisoners with shifting eyes that’s on the prowl,
The hierarchy is laid in chains with no place for the fallen to howl.
A slight-of-hand rules the courtyard where all can be reached,
But there is an open door where the gospel can be preached.
[Verse 1]
Where talking smack can get you jacked,
And playing ghost brings a reaction to attack.
Traversing the walls of prison takes years of ambition,
Your only friend is barbells, workout benches, and no opposition (Prison guards...).
In the world of crime, you must pay to stay alive and it’s the same in prison.
You must face imprisonment head-on there's no turning back, you got to fight or get jacked,
They see you, there’s no slipping away into your corner our of sight—that’s a fact.
[Pre-Chorus]
Dreams busting at the seams,
There is no rationality surrounding their schemes.
It’s a shame to live ashamed every day they play their games,
Surrounded by hoodlums stained by gains to light their flames.
Stay your hands or lose your knees,
They won’t hear your screams.
Iron prison there’s no fleeing,
Hunker down and start pleading.
Now you’re feeling the true weight of life in prison,
Where blows are dealt for a reason.
Iron prison there’s no fleeing… (Hunker down...),
Iron prison there’s no fleeing… (Hunker down...),
Iron prison there’s no fleeing… (Hunker down...).
[Chorus 1]
That are established, rooted, rootless and they know the break down,
There are bitches at every corner that can meet your needs, so don’t drop your crown.
They say, “prison for life,” I say, "give me the death sentence" (I will drop this place...),
Will you take the electric chair, deal with the political politics behind imprisonment or face repentance (Bless up salutation...).
[CATCH PHRASE]
Iron prison is chiseling my name...,
Iron prison hostility sparks a flame...,
Augh..., augh..., augh..., ah..., ah...,
Iron prison..., iron prison..., iron prison...,
Talking smack gets you jacked...,
Talking smack gets you jacked...,
Yeah..., ah-Yeah..., oh-Yeah...,
yo..., yo..., yo..., yo...,
Watch you back..., You're in their sights...,
Iron prison is the last place you'll see...,
Iron prison..., iron prison..., iron prison...,
[Bridge]
For me it’s the only way to live, by the sword,
I have blazed a path of death and never got bored.
Knife wounds and bullies five stars deep,
I’m battle ready and my hands are steady; I’ll grant them sleep.
The games they play is nothing to me,
So, they better get ready I won’t flee.
I will take it all back with compound interest,
They will feel the weight of my fury with no witness.
[Pre-Chorus]
Dreams busting at the seams,
There is no rationality surrounding their schemes.
It’s a shame to live ashamed every day they play their games,
Surrounded by hoodlums stained by gains to light their flames.
Stay your hands or lose your knees,
They won’t hear your screams.
Iron prison there’s no fleeing,
Hunker down and start pleading.
Now you’re feeling the true weight of life in prison,
Where blows are dealt for a reason.
Iron prison there’s no fleeing… (Hunker down...),
Iron prison there’s no fleeing… (Hunker down...),
Iron prison there’s no fleeing… (Hunker down...).
[Outro]
I have lived at the heels of death doors many times,
Taking chances for fleeting circumstances—I am on a steady climb.
I am rising to power in this iron prison,
Laying stones underground is my reason.
Holding lives: will they take a chance?
The dirt is ready and my hands are steady.
Are you ready…,
Are you ready…,
Are you ready….
Ah..., ah..., ah..., yeah..., yeah....
