《The Tower(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Tower - Ice-T

[00:00:20] I'm rolling up in a big gray bus

[00:00:21] And I'm shackled down

[00:00:23] Myself that's who I trust

[00:00:24] The minute I arrived

[00:00:25] Some sucker got hit

[00:00:26] Shanked ten times

[00:00:28] Behind some bullshit

[00:00:29] Word in the pen the fool was a snitch

[00:00:31] So without hesitatin

[00:00:32] I made a weapon quick

[00:00:34] If found a sharp piece of metal

[00:00:35] Taped it to a stick

[00:00:36] Then a bullhorn sounds

[00:00:37] That means it's time for chow

[00:00:39] My first prison meal

[00:00:40] The whole feeling was foul

[00:00:41] It wasn't quite my style

[00:00:43] But my stomach growled

[00:00:44] So I flushed the sh*t down

[00:00:45] And hit the weight pile

[00:00:46] The brothers was swole

[00:00:48] The attitudes was cold

[00:00:49] Felt the tension on the yard

[00:00:50] From the young and the old

[00:00:51] But I'm a warrior

[00:00:53] I got my ground to hold

[00:00:54] So I studied the inmates

[00:00:55] To see who hd the power

[00:00:56] The whites the blacks

[00:00:57] Or just the gun tower

[00:01:18] In a blink of an eye a riot broke out

[00:01:21] Blacks put their backs to the wall

[00:01:22] Cause it was north and south

[00:01:23] A gun man shouts

[00:01:25] And everybody had doubt

[00:01:25] Until the bullets started flyn

[00:01:27] Took two men out

[00:01:28] Thn they rushed everybody

[00:01:29] Back to their cells

[00:01:31] Damn the pen is different than

[00:01:32] The county jail

[00:01:33] I'm in a one man cell

[00:01:34] I know my lifes on a scale

[00:01:36] I wonder if that gunman is going to hell

[00:01:38] This is my second day

[00:01:39] I got a ten year stay

[00:01:41] I learned my first lesson

[00:01:42] In the pen you don't plaay

[00:01:43] I saw a brother kill another

[00:01:44] Cause he said he was gay

[00:01:46] But thats the way it is

[00:01:47] It been that way for years

[00:01:48] And when his body hit the ground

[00:01:49] I heard a couple of cheers

[00:01:51] It kind of hurt me inside

[00:01:52] That they were glad he died

[00:01:53] And I ask myself

[00:01:54] Just who had the power

[00:01:56] The whites the blacks

[00:01:57] Or just the gun tower

[00:02:18] You see the whites got a thing

[00:02:19] The call white pride

[00:02:20] The blacks got the muscle

[00:02:21] Mexicans got the knives

[00:02:23] You better be wise

[00:02:24] You wanna stay alive

[00:02:25] Go toe to toe with a sucka

[00:02:27] No matter wht size

[00:02:28] A fool tried to sweat me

[00:02:29] Actn like he was hard

[00:02:30] I stuck him twice in the neck

[00:02:31] And left him dead in the yard

[00:02:33] It was smooth how I did it

[00:02:34] Cause nobody could see

[00:02:35] With my jacket on my arm

[00:02:36] And my knife on the side of me

[00:02:38] Bam bam it was over

[00:02:39] Another one bites the dust

[00:02:40] I went crazy in the pen

[00:02:41] With nobody to trust

[00:02:42] Benchn ten quarters so I'm hard to sweat

[00:02:45] Used a tat gun and engrved my set

[00:02:48] They call me a lifer

[00:02:49] Cause I'm good as dead

[00:02:50] I live in the hole so the floors my bed

[00:02:52] And I ask myself again

[00:02:54] Who has the power

[00:02:55] The whites the blacks

[00:02:56] Or just the gun tower
