life in prison - powder black lyrics

verse 1-
meet david, a successful wall street worker
with a beautiful wife, he swore to god he’d never hurt her
when they first met, and she swore the same
but he caught her cheating, now he ignores the pain
and works his life away, to take his mind off the emptiness
but its hard not to dwell on things in his brain that he can’t forget
his work started slipping, cuz of how much he was tripping
he started using drugs, then came under suspicion
for stealing from the boss, then he paid the cost
they caught him in the act of taking thousands, so they laid him off
with his money gone, his girl was soon to follow
now he spends every night drunk wallowing in sorrow
he lost his house today and his hope for tomorrow
since the bank foreclosed, his only comforts the bottle
he waddles down the road, p-ssy drunk and acting crazy
when he p-ssed a couple, the girl turns out to be his old lady

hook-
they say spending life in prison is a h-ll on earth
but this life that he’s living-to him, well its worse
then spending life in prison
that’s why he’d rather spend his life, in prison

verse 2-
now he’s out on the streets with nothing to eat
no family or friends to turn to, here nothing is cheap
all the money that he does have, he spends on his booze
hating on himself hard cuz “real men don’t lose”
he hasn’t eaten it days, and doesn’t tend to himself
cuz he wants to die, he’d rather just end what he felt
slowly losing his mind, from the booze all the time
he’s t–ter-tottering on the edge of doing some crimes
because his stomach’s to the point that its eating itself
and this new york winter’s got him freezing to death
a girl walked by, he sn-tched her purse and speedily left
then sprinted round the corner quick and now he’s needing to rest
he sn-tched a couple more purses, but there wasn’t enough
cha-ching in em for his next drink and he’s hungry as f-ck
he’s tired of living this way, with no cash on hand
thinking bout his lady leaving him, he hatches a plan

hook-
they say spending life in prison is a h-ll on earth
but this life that he’s living-to him, well its worse
then spending life in prison
that’s why he’d rather spend his life, in prison

verse 3-
dave’s heart has grown gradually tough, these times are drastic and rough
he’s thinking bout finding his ex-wife and slashing the sl-t
k!lling two birds with one stone, when that b-tch becomes gone
the only thoughts on his mind are all the things she’s done wrong to him
at least in prison, he’ll get food and lodging
went to her apartment with a knife, walking through the lobby
to the elevator, and headed to the fifth floor
grabbed her hidden key, went in and waited on this big wh0r-
an hour p-ssed, he heard some movement at front door
she came in, he sliced her jugular and now she’s done for
holding her hand as she closed her eyes, he starts to cry
his world crashed before his eyes, he didn’t want to live this life
got her phone, called 911 and told them what occurred
in a defeated voice, they barely even heard his words
he lost hope long ago from all his happiness missing
and cuz of tonight he’ll spend the rest of his life in prison

hook-
they say spending life in prison is a h-ll on earth
but this life that he’s living-to him, well its worse
then spending life in prison
that’s why he’d rather spend his life, in prison
