Always lie upon your back
When you're in prison, be sure to stay awake
Keep you from attack

Oh, don't be no one's bitch, be no one's bitch
It's bad for you
Oh, don't be no one's bitch, be no one's bitch
They won't help you make it through

When you're in prison, don't turn the other way
Follow what I say to do
When you're in prison, don't turn the other way
You can make it through - x3
