Welcome To Prison – ONEFOUR

Ay, mama always said, pray for the best, expect the worst
Don’t make promises if you go back on your word
If you’re doing it rock, you’ve got to be willing to work
Hit a search and grab the dosh, gotta get to it first
See, I grew up in church but I had devils in my ears saying, “Fuck it”
Controlling my young mind like a puppet
Had me skipping school, ditching satties in the alley as a youngin’
Never a boss, bruh, I was runnin’
Ay, started runnin’ bud just to get paid
Now bros got beef, I gotta run with a blade
See my blood get got, and that’s when my heart changed
Took a couple L’s, but that’s part of the game
Live and learn, take how it comes
And if it kicks off, brother don’t run
I was taught from young, that I’d get caught up in the system
Didn’t listen, and that’s how I got done

See, I’m just tryna make a living lad and just do me
Nah, I ain’t stopping till they set me free
Uh, we stand firm to the word FTP
Prayin’ for somebody to rescue me
Ay, train hard, my brother, and stay staunch
Listen, don’t be another victim lost to the system
And you’ll be eetswa when they come to meet ya
And say my uso, “Welcome to prison”

Free my brothers in the yard and that
Can’t wait till they all come back, till they all come back
OneFour, part of the gang
2-7, where my heart is at, where my heart is at
We chopped opps too easy, got locked up too easy
And now I’m on TV
I bet it burns ’em to see me walk
They’d rather see me between these walls, ay

Yeah, we should always expect the worst, hope for the best
Keep ’em close if you know they’re down for a stretch
They call us ball runners with the utmost respect
Well known in the system, there’s not much of us left
You also got the common snitch, biggest bitch
A dog that couldn’t take the pressure for what he did
The lowest of the low that you can get as a crim’
Have ’em leveled with the rest of ’em down in protection
Separated from the rest of us ’cause our instincts always got the best of us
Paranoid, thinking now there’s no one left to trust
Don’t get my wrong, the boys in here still don’t give a fuck
But why he’s acting sus’
Heard them fellas over there tryna take me for inner spate eetswa
I’m just gonna chill and wait, fuck waitin’ another day
Pull up to his cell, give him hell
I want all you got
Put inside this pillowcase and don’t forget your dinner tray, ay

See, I’m just tryna make a living lad and just do me
See, I ain’t stopping till they set me free
We stand firm to the word FTP
Prayin’ for somebody to rescue me
Uh, train hard, my brother, and stay staunch
Listen, don’t be another victim lost to the system
Then you’ll be eetswa when they come to meet ya
And say my uso, “Welcome to prison”

Free my brothers in the yard and that
Can’t wait till they all come back, till they all come back
OneFour, part of the gang
2-7, where my heart is at, where my heart is at
We chopped opps too easy, got locked up too easy
And now I’m on TV
