Red Light

[Chorus]

Alone in my jail cell, I remember (I was alone)

Alone in my jail cell, one cold December (Let's get it)

I hit my knees, and prayed for better days

I should've hit my knees and prayed for better ways

He play at the red light, he'll catch a red light

Promise, baby, if your head right, then I'm there every night

I went broke, I got my bread right, I got my bread right

I went broke, I got my bread right, got my bread right

Alone in my jail cell, I remember (All alone)

Alone in my jail cell, cold December (I was alone)

I hit my knees, and prayed for better days

I should've hit my knees and prayed for better ways

He play at the red light, he'll catch a red light

Promise, baby, if your head right, then I'm there every night

I went broke, I got my bread right, I got my bread right

I went broke, I got my bread right, got my bread right

[Verse]

I miss you, baby boy

I'ma pull out for Lil Juvenile

They freed Day on the rec yard

But I can't find the energy to crack a smile

If you want me go around on the park, mama

I done stayed up and prayed all damn night

Heard that my new charges PBL

That means punishable by life

Look, I don't wanna rot in my cell, mama

I don't wanna make last year my last year

Did you see how they did me in court, mama?

Why they keep tryna make me out a bad kid?

How come they ain't let me out this morning?

All my friends came in and got release dates

They don't let me out next Monday

Then I'ma start plottin' on the escape

Mama, tell me, how I end up shit creek?

Tell me, why I feel like they out to get me?

In the system, they don't treat me like I'm 16

Cellmate caught 8, only 15

Tryna get me for attempt and some burglaries

Tell 'em I don't know nothin', murder first degree

Tell 'em I don't wanna talk 'bout some burglaries

If the nigga is dead, it's a third degree

Pussy nigga tried to rob me and murder me

So I shot his ass

Hit the wrong nigga's mama, but I got his ass

Did he leave on a stretcher or a body bag?

Pussy nigga tried to rob but I bucked the jack

All the charges got dropped

If the state wanna pick it up

Tell the state they can give it up

At this point, I don't give a fuck

[Chorus]

Alone in my jail cell, I remember (I was alone)

Alone in my jail cell, one cold December (Let's get it)

I hit my knees, and prayed for better days

I should've hit my knees and prayed for better ways

He play at the red light, he'll catch a red light

Promise, baby, if your head right, then I'm there every night

I went broke, I got my bread right, I got my bread right

I went broke, I got my bread right, got my bread right

Alone in my jail cell, I remember (All alone)

Alone in my jail cell, cold December (I was alone)

I hit my knees, and prayed for better days

I should've hit my knees and prayed for better ways

He play at the red light, he'll catch a red light

Promise, baby, if your head right, then I'm there every night

I went broke, I got my bread right, I got my bread right

I went broke, I got my bread right, got my bread right

[Outro]

Alone in my jail cell, I remember

Alone in my jail cell, cold December

I hit my knees, and prayed for better days

I should've hit my knees and prayed for better ways
