Well listen to me, you young hoods, this is some advice | |
You do the crime, you're payin the price | |
Cause if you're in the drug spots, sellin crack on the block | |
Snatchin chains, bustin brains, like a real hardrock | |
If you ever hear a cop say you're under arrest | |
Go out just like a trooper, stick out your chest | |
Cause you might have been robbin, you might have been whylin | |
But you won't be smilin on Riker's ISLAND | |
Just to hear the name it makes your spine tingle | |
This is a jungle where the murderers mingle | |
This ain't a place that's crowded but there's room for you | |
Whether you're white or you're black, you'll be black and blue | |
Cause in every cellblock, there is a hardrock | |
with a real nice device that's called a sock lock | |
Don't ever get caught in a crime my friend | |
Cause this bus trip is not to Adventure's Inn | |
They have a nice warm welcome, for new inmates | |
Razors, and shanks, and sharp edged plates | |
Posses will devour, punks with power | |
After the shower it's, rush hour | |
So watch your back before you get sacked | |
These a bunch of maniacs that's about to attack | |
If you're a hustlin pro, keep a low profile'n | |
Cause you won't be smilin on Riker's ISLAND | |
C-74, adolescents at war | |
Put your ear to the floor, you can hear the roar | |
They take you out of BC, they now found you a cage | |
All eyes are glued to you like you're up on stage | |
If you're soft as a leaf, don't get into a beef | |
And God be with you chief if you got gold teeth | |
Some try to be hard, front and say I'm God | |
Don't know a lesson say a blessin, you're gonna get scared | |
(Yo call the C.O.) That won't be necessary | |
He'll watch him beat you down, and take your commissary | |
Inside the lunchroom, you meet your doom | |
Someone is lookin at your sharper than a tablespoon | |
Use your hands like a man, don't go out like a chump | |
Never 'fess, bench press so that you can be pumped | |
If you don't got a game, you get beaten as lame | |
And scared as a mouse in a house of pain | |
So to all the jailbirds that listen to hip-hop | |
Move your pelvis like Elvis do the Jailhouse Rock | |
You might be coolin, you might be stylin | |
But you won't be smilin on Riker's ISLAND | |
If you're on a drug tip, don't be a Dumbo | |
Police investigate like Columbo if they think you're sellin jumbo | |
But don't get me wrong, it might be your thing | |
Whether smilin on the Island, or singin in Sing-Sing | |
The way you're takin pictures and you're givin a smile | |
Cheerin, the priveledge for a long long while | |
So keep your money pilin, keep profilin | |
Cause ahh, you won't be smilin on Riker's Island |
