You have spent almost half your life locked up behind bars
Leaving countless victims in your wake with permanent scars
Lying, cheating, stealing is the life that you choose to lead
Calculating your decisions based on nothing more than greed

Calling collect only to be comforted by hearing a familiar voice
Receiving no sympathy without understanding it was your choice
Quickly learning negative behaviors which you can easily simulate
Conditioned into a life of crime while waiting for your release date

Overbearing narcissistic tendencies enhanced by recreational drugs
New connections established and groomed with self proclaimed thugs
Hardly educated with no incentive to learn or stimulate the mind
Essentially I will never break free, as our lives will forever be entwined

Cold hearted and self centered as you lie straight to a loved one's face
Claim to be a production of society when you devalue the human race
A lost spirit detesting this life and helping to spread the hate
Ending up to be just another percentage in the recidivism rate
