lyrics
Hard Time
I'm doing hard time.
Locked down in here a long time.
Too many f*%#@n' years have gone by
But still going all out for mine
I'm doing hard time
Serving double life for bad crime
Trying to keep my nose to the grind
The hustle is a way of life
Don't know when I'm going home
The system says I'm murder prone
Feels like my sanity is gone
I'm put away
Watchin' my back's a daily goal
Wrong moves will put me in the hole
Behind these bars it's so damn cold
Wish I could escape
I'm doing hard time
Banished to a world of human grime
Where bad news is the norm day or night
Prison is a brutal world
I'm doing hard time
Used to be a thug but now living right
Getting out of here is a dog fight
Survival is the name of the game
Don't know when I'm going home
The system says I'm murder prone
Feels like my sanity is gone
I'm put away
Watchin' my back's a daily goal
Wrong moves will put me in the hole
Behind these bars it's so damn cold
Wish I could escape
Menace to society
The pen's not where you want to be
Wouldn't wish this on nobody
Stay outta here (repeat)
I'm doing hard time.
Locked down in here a long time.
Too many f*%#@n' years have gone by
But still going all out for mine
I'm doing hard time
Serving double life for bad crime
Trying to keep my nose to the grind
The hustle is a way of life
Don't know when I'm going home
The system says I'm murder prone
Feels like my sanity is gone
I'm put away
Watchin' my back's a daily goal
Wrong moves will put me in the hole
Behind these bars it's so damn cold
Wish I could escape
I'm doing hard time
Banished to a world of human grime
Where bad news is the norm day or night
Prison is a brutal world
I'm doing hard time
Used to be a thug but now living right
Getting out of here is a dog fight
Survival is the name of the game
Don't know when I'm going home
The system says I'm murder prone
Feels like my sanity is gone
I'm put away
Watchin' my back's a daily goal
Wrong moves will put me in the hole
Behind these bars it's so damn cold
Wish I could escape
Menace to society
The pen's not where you want to be
Wouldn't wish this on nobody
Stay outta here (repeat)

These songs are selections from a year-long writing project inspired by playright Suzan-Lori Parks. Ms. Parks wrote one play per day in 2002. I have attempted the same with music. Thank you for your support. I am grateful.
