Lyrics

M.A. Parks, C57797, you have a visitor

Reference to a prison visit for M.A. Parks with ID C57797

Right there, stall three

Visitor directed to stall three

Hi baby.

Greeting from a visitor to an inmate

Wassup honey?

Casual conversation, asking what's up

Hey you know it's just only one more week until family visit.

Discussion about the upcoming family visit in a week

Yeah I'ma rock them drawers.

Expression of intention to impress during the visit

A-heh.

Laughter

Yeah but you know did you take care of that bidness I asked you to do?

Inquiry about completing a task

I made those deposits.

Confirmation of completing the requested task

Okay that's cool you bring that shit?

Confirmation of bringing something important

Yeah I got it.

Assurance of having the requested item

Aright see that guard over there?

Instructions to discreetly pass an item to a guard

Mm-hm.

-

When you get done just hand him the shit, he know wassup.

-

Aright. Hey you know E just got cracked, he's in jail now.

Discussion about someone named E getting arrested

What?

-

Yeah, Go-Go's out. I just saw him runnin' around the other day.

-

Ah, fuck that fool. But anyway, what's happenin' with my moms?

Disregard for E's situation and inquiry about the speaker's mother

She gave me a message for you:

Message from the speaker's mother apologizing for not being present

She said she's sorry she couldn't be here today, but she'll be here next week.

-

Aright well check this out, I got somethin' real important

Expression of having something important to tell the speaker's mother

I want you to tell her

-

C'mon c'mon this shit's over with.

-

I'm not done talking to him!

Interruption by a guard and the speaker being taken away

C'mon boy, back to your cell.

-

Shut that shit up bitch! He's outta here, c'mon.

-

Don't be callin' my woman no bitch! I'll fuck you up!

Exchange of heated words with the guard

Yeah yeah fool, what? Yeah yeah that's what they all say fool.

-

You institutionalized, and this is your home...

-

Guess who's back, and ready to knock off a cop or two

Lyrics shift to the rapper discussing life in prison, his outlook, and plans for retaliation

'Cause me and the crew could still get our rocks off

-

The penitentiary don't stop a nigga 'cause he's in jail

-

Hell I'm makin' more money on the street from here in a cell

-

I'm livin' proper, the coppers is havin' fits

-

I just made the profit, you punks ain't stoppin' shit

-

I still remember my momma told me

-

Find the cop who killed your brother

-

Send him to Hell lookin' homely

-

'Cause a real nigga love the law

-

What's raw is a nigga that's above the law

-

Keep pressin' your luck and get fucked, huh

-

Think a nigga don't know whassup 'cause he's locked up

-

But in the meantime, it's get swoll get clean time

-

Concentrate on gettin' green time

-

And as the years go by, they forgot

-

About the small time soldier from the block, huh

-

To kill the crook they threw the book at me

-

Don't worry be nappy, don't even look happy

-

Put me in the hole, gave me cold cuts

-

Did push-ups until I swoll' up

-

And then they offer me a furlough

-

But what they don't know as soon as I get free I'm killin' five mo'

-

They asked me if I changed much

-

I told em 'Yeah' even though I'm still the same nut

-

They started askin my questions about my brother

-

And makin' remarks about my mother, hmm

-

Wait a minute, hold up

-

makin' jokes about my folks'll get yours blown up

-

They sent me back to the hole for what I told em

-

I guess he didn't believe me, so I showed him

-

He went home to find a tragedy

-

Nigga, that's what you get for tryin' to badger me

-

And anybody else that want to sweat me

-

I'm already in jail so you punks can't get me

-

You better pray they never see me

-

'Cause if they let me free, prepare for trouble on the streets.

-

When I get free

Repetition of the phrase "When I get free"

When I get free

-

When I get free

-

When I get free

-

When I get free
