[Intro: Tech N9ne]
~#**************#~
I wont look back anymore, after this
~#**************#~
Pitch black, star bright, yeah thats my life
~#**************#~
A bit of fire and ice
~#**************#~
Watch friends, plot foes, stock ends and pot holes
~#**************#~
‘Cause when the tank hit the bank, it just got closed
~#**************#~
Dont be stank in the paint cause the yak froze
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Tech N9ne]
~#**************#~
Wish I knew back when I was strugglin
~#**************#~
If I plugged in and kept bustin
~#**************#~
Id be buzzin, thatd make me super rich
~#**************#~
Never knew my sufferin over but
~#**************#~
Cousin, I keep it up and gushin
~#**************#~
And tell all of my family, aunts and uncles, cousins to do the shit
~#**************#~
Just gain power through all of the rain showers
~#**************#~
No good to remain sour cause someone elses lame hours
~#**************#~
Wish I woulda known to tell em all to start they own business
~#**************#~
Make long digits instead of havin a boss who talk at the wrong pitches
~#**************#~
To fake friends, cause its never enough
~#**************#~
At hostile situations with folks, I learned its better to bust
~#**************#~
First, and you still a nigga no matter how much ya stuffs worth
~#**************#~
You love who love you, do hug who does true
~#**************#~
Connect the true blood to cuzz blue
~#**************#~
So keep hopin the Lord does show up
~#**************#~
‘Cause itll never be no peace on earth for all of us
~#**************#~
‘Til this mug blow up
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Krizz Kaliko]
~#**************#~
Locked up, Im free still doing time
~#**************#~
Im stuck, on those thats on my mind
~#**************#~
Incarcerated, sometimes I hate it
~#**************#~
This is the sentence of my life
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Joey Cool]
~#**************#~
Ponderin these thoughts while sittin idle in this mezzanine
~#**************#~
Feel my feelins boilin up, Im simmerin on everything
~#**************#~
Goin for the gold because its shimmerin, but everything
~#**************#~
That you encounter seems to be devoured, need a better team
~#**************#~
Every thought and every dream, every plot and every scheme
~#**************#~
Lurkin around the corner is a hater waiting like a fiend
~#**************#~
And choice of drug is negative, and they use it like a sedative
~#**************#~
Success becomes the cause of this effect, abuse the medicine
~#**************#~
You thinkin you can let em in, partake in buildin excellence
~#**************#~
The serpents come in twos and they meticulous with they meddlin
~#**************#~
The feathers flock together, see the relationships we settle in
~#**************#~
Got consequences so its best to let em go, we blessed again
~#**************#~
Disloyalty unfoiled, trynna justify they pestilence
~#**************#~
I dont understand why they so demanding manic pessimists
~#**************#~
I guess if I had to guess, Id make an estimate, I guess that they
~#**************#~
Was just afraid so watch us levitate til Im at heavens gate
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Krizz Kaliko]
~#**************#~
Locked up, Im free still doing time
~#**************#~
Im stuck, on those thats on my mind
~#**************#~
Incarcerated, sometimes I hate it
~#**************#~
This is the sentence of my life
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Gee Watts]
~#**************#~
Mmm, life sentence for fallen angel physical body
~#**************#~
Illuminate my soul, officially became godly
~#**************#~
I be the one, all of these demons runnin from
~#**************#~
Dumped a gun, lifted spirits, niggas deem me the chosen one
~#**************#~
Phony family in my crowd, rappin gap and loud
~#**************#~
Facin twelve in the pen, none of them niggas made a sound
~#**************#~
None of them niggas round
~#**************#~
Now the fame close and the name boasts
~#**************#~
Im ‘posed to break bread bitch, taste toast
~#**************#~
I should smoke them ungrateful bitches
~#**************#~
They doin the most to see what make you choke
~#**************#~
It actually leave ya throat missin
~#**************#~
Im on a mission to revisit kin and
~#**************#~
My prime been hidden, trynna dine with women
~#**************#~
Dipped in finest linen, try and find a business
~#**************#~
I love who love Gee, fuck you if its fuck me
~#**************#~
Thats just how it gotta be, cause Im paper routin
~#**************#~
Tame nuisance, insane view and check on my lawn
~#**************#~
Strange recruit me, guess when the god speakin Strange Music
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Krizz Kaliko]
~#**************#~
Locked up, Im free still doing time
~#**************#~
Im stuck, on those thats on my mind
~#**************#~
Incarcerated, sometimes I hate it
~#**************#~
This is the sentence of my life
~#**************#~
[Post-Chorus: Krizz Kaliko]
~#**************#~
Here the sentence of my life
~#**************#~
This is the sentence of my life
~#**************#~
[Outro: Krizz Kaliko]
~#**************#~
Instead of cry, maybe Ill keep it inside
~#**************#~
Instead of cry, I cry maybe Ill keep it inside
~#**************#~
Instead of cry, maybe Ill keep it inside
~#**************#~
Instead of cry, I cry maybe Ill keep it inside
~#**************#~
Instead of—, maybe Ill keep it inside
~#**************#~
I cry, maybe Ill keep it inside
~#**************#~
Ma-maybe, Ill keep it inside
~#**************#~
Keep it inside
