El Prisionero

Sittin' inside, thinkin' 'bout how to break free
'Cause in court he lost his liberty
There's the dude, all the way up to his neck
That lazy guy, tell me if you thought it was fair
To make your mom suffer, who brought you
Into this world
For some borrowed money
If you don't pay up, the law or your lawyer will take it
When your mom came to visit you
The pain in her soul she tries to bear
So you don't see her sufferin'
But when she gets home, you gotta hear her
Screamin' and she
Throws herself on the floor
To let out the pain
And how she cries
I ask St. George and God to give her strength and courage
Dude.....

Now I bring you advice that I wanna give
Where I grew up, it's a deadly hood
When I wasn't singin', I went out to win
And wanted to take over everything that wasn't mine
After that time, I received a lesson
And a bullet in my chest changed
My mind, on the way to the hospital
There was a voice that said to me
'Child, everything comes to those who seek, you'll find it!'
If I hadn't followed that advice from God
Today I wouldn't be singing this song

Sittin' inside, thinkin' 'bout how to break free
'Cause in court he lost his liberty
There's the dude, all the way up to his neck.
