Yeah, today the big day, yeah
What, yeah, yeah
I've been here four years, eleven months and twenty-nine hot ones
One more day and I'm a free man walkin'
Leavin' from behind these gates, I paid my debt to the state
And ever since they took the weights
Wasn't much for a to do but start thinkin'
Wishin' I was back home drinkin' every weekend
Remember like it's yesterday, eight-teen and [Incomprehensible]
I can't remember the letters I just wrote a lot of them
Goin' for a ride that I cannot stop
Set up shop in Corcoran, connect the dots
And for those that don't know, thats the Pen-East to Fresno
Northeast to Bakersfield, "Let's Make a Deal"
Livin' around who kill, right along with the who will
At the drop of a hat, sharpen up anything hard to stab you with that
Givin' up the manhood they can't get back
It's a sick university, murder the curriculum
Concrete campuses, I miss Los Angeles
More than that I'm missin' my kids
Missin' my turf, missin' my, what could be worse?
Shouldn't have asked that, called the collect
(It's Xzibit)
Some picked up, wanted to break her neck
When kites slide up under your door, you slide them back
'Cause if you pick 'em up and read 'em that's where you're at
And if you ain't rollin' with that then watch your back
Level four right away, gettin' hit the same day
Playin' the price for the games you play
Never realize how precious time is till you give it away
Can't remember what a T-bone taste like
I stayed awake nights listening to the sounds of prison life
Cryin', shanks gettin' sharpened
Tacs gettin' taced up, plottin' and talkin'
Sellin' everything from weed to blow
When it's time for you to go you're the last to know
Holdin' weight, essays got the power
Locked down, one shower every seventy-two hours
[Incomprehensible] tuna, trigger happy sharpshooters
Waitin' for the jump off, can't wait to thump off
Had to smash a readin' my
Tryin' to intercept my outside and write my
I seen sleep for weeks, get too weak
And then physically and mentally cannot compete
Find new to master, make the time move faster
Home sweet home, shipped off to Land Caster
Kept a low pro, close to home and I'm trippin'
Time to catch up with all the that I've been missin'
Everybody runnin' they mouth, to count
'Cause in Cali love thats freshed out
But some of these on swipe
Gettin' out with the virus caught from the he liked
That, when I touch back I got plans
If I can't rock the powder, rock the fans
Give my naked pictures away, shake some hands
I hope I never seen none of you again
On all times take the long walk to the front gate
Dress out expandin', today my release date
