[ VERSE 1: W.C. ]
12
It all started on a Saturday night, yo, I was restin my nerves
13
Coolin at the pad, smokin herb
14
Had a show the next day, so I figured I'd rest
15
Cause when I throw a show, I like to give it my best
16
Yo, that's when I heard the telephone ring
17
It was my homie named Gee, big baller from around the way
18
Said he had a party and he wanted me to come
19
And I couldn't even front, cause I owed him one
20
See, Gee was a homie from a long time ago
21
When I was young, he used to let me get the rag 6-4
22
I used to sell dope with him, even went to jail with him
23
He put me down, ain't no way I could forget about him
24
So now I got myself coolin at a party
25
On amp, playin dominos, drinkin Bacardi
26
Sittin at a table with some fools I don't know
27
Rollin the Endo, and sippin on Cisco
28
I had a feelin that just wouldn't quit
29
Bein around too many high rollers made me itch
30
I ain't the one to wear silk, so I felt like a jerk
31
Cause I was the only in some jeans and a t-shirt
32
Fools kept stearin at me, lookin kinda funny
33
Big Six on the table takin all the money
34
The party was on until the drink got low
35
That's when Gee slid me 10 to make a run to the sto'
36
He wanted me to roll with his homie named Joe
37
Smart baller, by the way, who drove a raggedy Pinto
38
That's when I knew right then and there
39
I had a funny-ass feelin it was trouble in the air
40
Cause now I'm on the roll with this nigga named Joe
41
Who wore [???] with a big-ass afro
42
Just my luck we got pulled to the side
43
(What happened?) Cocaine in the back of the ride
44
Since I ain't a snitch, I was thrown in the jailhouse
45
Doin 5 years over dope I didn't know about
46
No more women, and no more shows
47
Wish I was out on a furlough
48
[ CHORUS ]
49
Time again you wanna lock me up
50
Lock me up, lock me up
51
Time again you wanna lock me up
52
A nigga like me, you wanna lock me up
53
[ VERSE 2: W.C. ]
54
So now I'm in the jailhouse gettin all swoll'
55
Doin 2 to 5 for this nigga I don't know
56
Fools say jail ain't nothin to sweat
57
But if you ain't got a rep, you gotta claim your set
58
But I don't bang, y'all, so what can I say?
59
I'm just a funky rapper from around the way
60
But right in my face about a million brothers stood
61
Throwin up gangsigns, representin they neighborhood
62
Brother named Black who ran the yard
63
Told me, "Bust a funky rap, and you won't need a bodyguard"
64
Don't get me wrong, y'all, I'm far from soft
65
But for the next six months I was rappin my ass off
66
Now here we go, I had the whole jailhouse
67
Rockin back and forth, and even the wardens
68
Threw their hands in the air while I bust a rhyme
69
But now the chow line, y'all, was one big showtime
70
But that's when a riot jumped off
71
And they threw me in the box for startin it off
72
They told me for the next 7 months, if I laid low
73
Then I'd be egible for a furlough
74
[ CHORUS ]
75
[ VERSE 3: W.C. ]
76
Finally I'm out on a furlough
77
Back on the streets in a Coupe that's sittin kinda low
78
Yo, come to find that the group Low Pro done went solo
79
Now it's all aobut the Maad Circle
80
I'm hangin out with Tunes and Coolio
81
Drinkin out the brown paperbag, dodgin my P.O.
82
I'm only 'posed to be out for one day
83
But the judge don't know that I'm a runaway
84
Something like a fugitive, but I don't run, I bust back, y'all
85
No more sittin in the hole eatin chew balls
86
Now I pack my bag and grab my gat
87
And have the Maad Circle put me down on contract
88
And lay low like a snake in the grass
89
Change my profile and do away with the past
90
And now I'm gettin paid to be a vocalist
91
Accordin to the law, though I'm wanted on a hit list
92
Crazy Tunes, Coolio and Gee's the Maad Circle
93
And still to this day, yo, I'm out on a furlough
94
[ CHORUS ]
95
(He's probably twenty-somethin years old
96
And he gon' do 20, probably gon' do 20 years
97
That's what he hollerin about, you know?
98
Cause the guy, he's - he 20 years old
99
You know, he in his twenties
100
He's rude, and all that right there, you know
101
He might -
102
It's just like me:
103
I came in the penitentiary when I was 22 years old
104
You know, that's - that's the baby
105
You know, now - now I'm 40
106
You see what I'm sayin?
107
The man talkin bout he want me to do - 20 mo' years)
