This is a shout out to every young brother ya know
Thats doin his thing right now
Keep ya head up...
He’s walkin the yard wishin he had wings
Ya know so he could fly up out that joint
Man
If I could fly away
Ooo and I wouldn’t come back no more
I, I’d turn around,
Just to see you for the last time,
See, now I know
Hey, that it won’t be easy
I done fought through the battle, and I done made it this far
I gotta few more feet, but its still the longest yard
Man, it’s the longest yard I ever had to get in my life
And see my life ain’t right, if my wife don’t write
My niggas cant eat if the fish don’t bite
My raise the gross sales, like Mike that night
Like big brother almighty
I keep a gamma ray, I’ma G-Phi-G
Take a G-Phi jeep, G-Phi deep
To some of their bare feet
And that jeep don’t speak
Listen mayne they lock it down round herre
See body bag and gag and you're found round herre
This as serious as it sound round herre
The guards guard the ground, 4 pounds round herre
And they ain’t playin, they’re just lettin you know
That anything they want to happen, nigga happen real slow
Get the word from upstairs, put you in that hole
I can't take it, I’m just ready to go
If I could fly away
Ooo and I wouldn’t come back no more
I, I’d turn around,
Just to see you for the last time,
See, now I know
Hey, that it won’t be easy
I done fought in a battle, and I done made it this far
I gotta few more feet, but its still the longest yard
Yeah yeah, its still the longest yard
Uh uh, its still the longest yard
Um um, its still the longest yard
I done fought in a battle and I done made it this far
I’m in my cell 20 hours a day
And doin push-ups ever hour a day
Cause I'm tryin to keep the cowards away
Thats why I'm markin off the calendar days
Tryin to get it out of the way
And I'm just tryin to keep a peace of mind
And I'm gon shank a motherfucker with a piece of mine
Cause he tryin to take a piece of mine
So I'm gon slice his ass a piece at a time
But now that they close the door
Lock me in and cell 30 deep but its built for 10
Tell me what kind of world they got you in
With the barbed wire fences, box you in
From now, til they turn off the lights
I’ma read anything in sight
It's kinda hard tryin to read at night
But I’ma change my life
And hope another brother doesn't take this flight
If I could fly away
Ooo and I wouldn’t come back no more
I, I’d turn around,
Just to see you for the last time,
See, now I know
Hey, that it won’t be easy
I done fought in a battle, and I done made it this far
I gotta few more feet, but its still the longest yard
Yeah yeah, its still the longest yard
Uh uh, its still the longest yard
Um um, its still the longest yard
I done fought in a battle and I done made it this far
(Oohh no) I gotta make it out this place some how
(Oohh no) Man I really believe that I done turned it around
(Oohh no) You see, all I need is that second chance to show,
since incarceration, my obligation to rehabilitation
(Oohh no) They can punch me high, and they can kick me low
(Oohh no) Spit on me its gonna take more than that for them to break my soul
(Oohh no) Man its hard for people to understand what its like to be,
gated, incarcerated , I just cant take it, but I’ma make it man to see better days
If I could fly away
Ooo and I wouldn’t come back no more
I, I’d turn around,
Just to see you for the last time,
See, now I know
Hey, that it won’t be easy
I done fought in a battle, and I done made it this far
I gotta few more feet, but its still the longest yard
Yeah yeah, its still the longest yard
Uh uh, its still the longest yard
Um um, its still the longest yard
I done fought in a battle and I done made it this far
If I could fly away,
If I could I turn around,
If I could fly away
If I could I turn around
If I could I turn around
