Late night phone calls to my mama's house, talking to my kids

Representing [?] up in here, like I'm supposed to, I'm young

Bitch niggas get [?] I miss my babies
Naked pictures of my old lady, getting me more crazy

I'm walking up on this yard dealing, with no fright
Collect calls to my mama house, but she can't take them

Breaking bread and living good, life is hot
But that nigga that's set to die, drop the line

[Verse 4: Bakarii]
I'm handcuffed to a strange nigga
Never figured I'd be sitting in these shoes [?]
I'm too smart for this
On a cot I sit
Mad as fuck cause I wanna get up out this bitch
And let the judge tell it
I'm doing life, on my third strike
Ain't even thinking about my babies or my young wife
Where I'm from, if you look, you won't find no opertoonities
So I learned to stack my paper, living roaggesh and raw
Take a ball to [?] pushing strong
Me and my dawgs had it locked, but we
[?] rocks and [?]
Spending lots of cheese
Boss dogging, got them calling for the killer [?]
He's still a rooky, I'm serving [?], you serving [?]
Look where it took me
Sell block, looky looky
The big fish, and the bread is how they hook me
My life, my life, under the scope
Heaven knows I could change, [?]
My number's a name

[Chorus: Short Nitty]
[?]
[?]
[?] the penitentiary
[?] my life

[?]
[?] met so many [?], it's like [?]
