the longest yard I ever
had to get in my life
See my life ain't right
if my wife don't write
My nigga can't eat if the
fish don't bite
My raise the gross sales like mike 'n' ike
A big brother all mighty I keep
gamma ray on my g five g
Takin g five jeep, g five deep
To ?
Listen man they lock it down
round here
See body bag, ya gag,
then ya frown round here
This is serious as the sound
round here
The guards guard the ground
fo' pounds round here
And they ain't playin' they just
layin' old
And anything that would've happen
Nigga happen real slow
Get the word from upstairs,
tell you in that hole
I can't take it I'm just ready to go
If I could fly away
Oh I wouldn't come back no more
Id turn around just to see
you for the last time
See now I know
Hey that it would be easy
I done fought through the battle,
and I made it this far
I got a few more feet but its still the
longest yard
Yea,yea its still the longest yard
Uh,uh its still the longest yard
Uh, uh its still the longest
Done fought through the battle
, and I made it this far
I'm in my cell 20 hours a day,
doin' push ups every hour of a day
Cause I'm tryin' to keep the
cowards away
That's why I'm markin'
off the calendar days
Tryin' to get it outta the way
Yea, and I'm just tryin' to
keep a peace in mind
And try not to strike a mother fucker
with a piece of mine
Cause he try to take a peace of mine
So I'm a slice him one piece at a time
But now they close the doors, lock me in
In a cell 30 feet but is built for 10
Tell me what kinda world
they got you in
With a barbwire fence to box you in
From now till they turn off the lights
See I'm read everything in sight
Its kinda hard tryin' to read at night
But I'm a change my life
And help another brother take this flight
If I could fly away
Oh I wouldn't come back no more
Id turn around just to see
you for the last time
See now I know
Hey that it would be easy
I done fought through the battle,
and I made it this far
I got a few more feet but its still the
longest yard
Yea,yea its still the longest yard
Uh,uh its still the longest yard
Uh, uh its still the longest, done fought through the battle,
and I made it this far
Oh no,
I gotta make it out this place some how
Oh no, man I really believe
I can turn it around
Oh no, you see all I need is
that second chance to show
Since incarceration,
my obligation of rehabilitation
Oh no, they can punch
me high kick me low
Oh no, spit on me,
its gonna take more than that for them to break my soul
Oh no, man its hard for people to understand
what its like to be gated,
Incarcerated, most can't take it
but imma make it to see betta days
If I could
fly away
Oh I wouldn't come back no more
Id turn around just to see
you for the last time
See now I know
Hey that it would be easy
I done fought through the battle,
and I made it this far
I got a few more feet but its still the
longest yard
Yea,yea its still the longest yard
Uh,uh its still the longest yard
Uh, uh its still the longest
Done fought through the battle,
and I made it this far
If I could
