Lyrical Analysis of...
Prison Timbuk-Fuckin-Tu
- Oh,
- I be awakening every morning in the same grubby cell,
- framed for a murder,
- now this whole thing be hell.
- In a gang, drug dealing is my thing,
- making guards shudder
- at the presence of me, so bring
- all of the armed guys you want
- they still all got that nervous stutter
- wanna put me on death row, try it, your ass will get stomped
- by my lyrical force
- the power of a Rottweiler
- and the speed of a horse.
- These niggas getting harassed in shakedowns,
- cops think we all got something to hide,
- fucking clowns.
- I got pictures in my cell, memories of home
- If I had to give advice, son
- it would be remain unknown
- You aint got the heart of a real rapper,
- I was my hands in your blood,
- impregnated yo sister, but that don't matter,
- I'm just getting by like any man should.
- Death row isn't scaring me, it's funny, actually
- because this life is bullshit
- and soon I'm free, finally.
- Call me a madman for saying this, whatever,
- but when I'm gone,
- it's these words you'll remember.
- Because this jail is full of shit,
- welcome to it,
- careful not to step on the needles or spit.
- Guards won't take kind to your pot,
- they see the green in the plastic bag
- and you will get shot.
- If you're not here for life or death, lucky you,
- you get to shoot dice and go insane
- in Prison Timbuk Fuckin Tu.
- Once you're in, face reality, goodbye American dream,
- now you either get beat up or stand up, either way you'll die,
- this whole thing making you scream,
- and why you're in here, well, for that you is wondering why.
- Perhaps you'll turn to drugs,
- you mite even be successful, get some money,
- until the guards inevitably pull the fuckin' plugs.
- You wanna be the bait or the predator, honey,
- if it aint the latter, you'll be bleedin' out on the ground,
- murdered by some prison thugs.
- Even if you do get out, I hate to break it,
- but you aint got shit in life now,
- you can't even get any tit,
- so well done for this, take a bow.
- Maybe I shouldn't judge you, perhaps the law is wrong,
- but even so, you're in here now,
- and remember: you're scrawny, I'm strong.
- Enjoy our shitty little rations,
- crap quality meat, and did you hear about rat poison in the food?
- Yeah, it's chef's new passion.
- But we're isolated from the public eye,
- left here with no voice to dwell and say bye
- to our loved ones, who are behind glass walls,
- and when guards pull you away from your baby daughter, don't ask why.
- Because they fuckin hate our guts,
- they execute us niggas and barely let out a few tuts.
- We're scum of the earth,
- and in this hellhole you'll find out your real worth.
- Because this jail is full of shit,
- welcome to it,
- careful not to step on the needles or spit.
- Guards won't take kind to your pot,
- they see the green in the plastic bag
- and you will get shot.
- If you're not here for life or death, lucky you,
- you get to shoot dice and go insane
- in Prison Timbuk Fuckin Tu.
- Timbuk Fuckin Tu, what a name,
- with all the people it's murdered, it's in the hall of fame,
- and yet is hailed by the public, it has no shame,
- guards will search and harass you before they learn your damn name.
- Watch your step around here,
- one false move around a gang,
- and you're out for good with a shiv stuck up your fucking rear.
- Watch the showers, shorty, don't drop that soap,
- oh wait, you're here for prostitution
- so you're use to it, I hope.
- Yeah this pace is brutal,
- with guards blinded by the government
- al attempts to reason with them are futile.
- Son, that's jus the way it is.
- Don't get pissed of at my poor ass,
- just keep your head up, legs closed, reputation high and mind your biz.
- Because this jail is full of shit,
- welcome to it,
- careful not to step on the needles or spit.
- Guards won't take kind to your pot,
- they see the green in the plastic bag
- and you will get shot.
- If you're not here for life or death, lucky you,
- you get to shoot dice and go insane
- in Prison Timbuk Fuckin Tu. (x3)
- Timbuk Fuckin Tu, man,
- Timbuk Fuckin Tu.
- Timbuk Fuckin Tu, man,
- this shit be the death of you.
