[intro]
thank you

[verse 1]
well, here i am again
sittin’ down in this old rotten jail
woah, i said here i am again
sittin’ down in this old rotten jail
woah, all i got to say
sittin’ here just a*wastin’ time

[verse 2]
i want somebody to help me
help me find peace of mind
oh, somebody help me
help me find a peace of mind
sittin’ here lookin’ out through those bars
i know it ain’t nothin’ but a waste of time

[verse 3]
hey, mister warden
i just want you to let me go free
please, mister warden
i just want you to turn the key
oh, sittin’ in this old jailhouse
i know it ain’t nothin’, nothin’ but the waste of time
[instrumental break]

[verse 4]
you know, i look next door in the cell
i say, “brotha, how much time do you have?”
in the cell next door to mine
said, “brotha, how much time do you have?”
said, “i got five long years
sittin’ there, baby, it ain’t nothin’ but wastin’ time”

[verse 5]
’cause i got ninety*nine years to go
and i know that one day
i said, i got ninety*nine years to go
and i just wanna tell you this one day
but i asked the warden to let big mama go free
sittin’ in jail, sittin’ in jail ain’t nothin’ but a waste of time
