The Tower - Ice-T[00:00:01]
I'm rolling up in a big gray bus[00:00:20]
And I'm shackled down[00:00:21]
Myself that's who I trust[00:00:23]
The minute I arrived[00:00:24]
Some sucker got hit[00:00:25]
Shanked ten times[00:00:26]
Behind some bullshit[00:00:28]
Word in the pen the fool was a snitch[00:00:29]
So without hesitatin[00:00:31]
I made a weapon quick[00:00:32]
If found a sharp piece of metal[00:00:34]
Taped it to a stick[00:00:35]
Then a bullhorn sounds[00:00:36]
That means it's time for chow[00:00:37]
My first prison meal[00:00:39]
The whole feeling was foul[00:00:40]
It wasn't quite my style[00:00:41]
But my stomach growled[00:00:43]
So I flushed the shit down[00:00:44]
And hit the weight pile[00:00:45]
The brothers was swole[00:00:46]
The attitudes was cold[00:00:48]
Felt the tension on the yard[00:00:49]
From the young and the old[00:00:50]
But I'm a warrior[00:00:51]
I got my ground to hold[00:00:53]
So I studied the inmates[00:00:54]
To see who hd the power[00:00:55]
The whites the blacks[00:00:56]
Or just the gun tower[00:00:57]
In a blink of an eye a riot broke out[00:01:18]
Blacks put their backs to the wall[00:01:21]
Cause it was north and south[00:01:22]
A gun man shouts[00:01:23]
And everybody had doubt[00:01:25]
Until the bullets started flyn[00:01:25]
Took two men out[00:01:27]
Thn they rushed everybody[00:01:28]
Back to their cells[00:01:29]
Damn the pen is different than[00:01:31]
The county jail[00:01:32]
I'm in a one man cell[00:01:33]
I know my lifes on a scale[00:01:34]
I wonder if that gunman is going to hell[00:01:36]
This is my second day[00:01:38]
I got a ten year stay[00:01:39]
I learned my first lesson[00:01:41]
In the pen you dont plaay[00:01:42]
I saw a brother kill another[00:01:43]
Cause he said he was gay[00:01:44]
But thats the way it is[00:01:46]
It been that way for years[00:01:47]
And when his body hit the ground[00:01:48]
I heard a couple of cheers[00:01:49]
It kind of hurt me inside[00:01:51]
That they were glad he died[00:01:52]
And I ask myself[00:01:53]
Just who had the power[00:01:54]
The whites the blacks[00:01:56]
Or just the gun tower[00:01:57]
You see the whites got a thing[00:02:18]
The call white pride[00:02:19]
The blacks got the muscle[00:02:20]
Mexicans got the knives[00:02:21]
You better be wise[00:02:23]
You wanna stay alive[00:02:24]
Go toe to toe with a sucka[00:02:25]
No matter wht size[00:02:27]
A fool tried to sweat me[00:02:28]
Actn like he was hard[00:02:29]
I stuck him twice in the neck[00:02:30]
And left him dead in the yard[00:02:31]
It was smooth how I did it[00:02:33]
Cause nobody could see[00:02:34]
With my jacket on my arm[00:02:35]
And my knife on the side of me[00:02:36]
Bam bam it was over[00:02:38]
Another one bites the dust[00:02:39]
I went crazy in the pen[00:02:40]
With nobody to trust[00:02:41]
Benchn ten quarters so I'm hard to sweat[00:02:42]
Used a tat gun and engrved my set[00:02:45]
They call me a lifer[00:02:48]
Cause Im good as dead[00:02:49]
I live in the hole so the floors my bed[00:02:50]
And I ask myself again[00:02:52]
Who has the power[00:02:54]
The whites the blacks[00:02:55]
Or just the gun tower[00:02:56]
