"Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell, How long has it been? They got me sittin' in the state pen. I gotta get out - but that thought was thought before I contemplated a plan on the cell floor. I'm not a fugitive on the run, But a brother like me begun - to be another one. Public enemy servin' time - they drew the line y'all To criticize me some crime - nevertheless They could not understand that I'm a Black man And I could never be a veteran. On the strength, the situation's unreal, I got a raw deal, so I'm goin' for the steel."
