Lights out confessions of a convict / gods lesson taught is what got you into this shit
step back reflect on what you did / detect every reason you doin the 1 2 bid
like an auction some fucked up conkoction / grinding you up in the teeth of the system
list em 3 to 4 counts on each case / shoulda been ghost like gone with no trace
Chorus : Je ne veux pas parler — si tu plait not today
For my 21st day i was at the bars / but i was behind em just like i was servin
learnin how to keep turnin days into months / rollin with the big dogs there’s no place for runts
at once positive thinkin it takes hold / an optimist in this boomin metropolis
and some day in the distant future / i’ll be in a better position like karma sutra
Chorus
Lights out 12:30 throw down everybody knows now reputation lies at stake
ain’t been in the joint to long if / you don’t know what chances to take
and this for gods sake is a risk to die for / fight and live with respect and pride or
tie a knot and make ammends with fear / swing like a pendulum from the third tier
did i mention um / in the mornin when we eat eyes never meet eyes on your meat only
greet the sun like an infant child / grinnin at the chance to reconcile again
(these are confessions of a convict / god’s taught that dreams can be gone quick) x2
Lights out
