[Verse 1]
Yo, prison ah nuh bed of roses
I was sleeping with the rats and the roaches
I was getting pat down in the slammer
Still had the man down like Rihanna
Met a bully boy like Deebo
Shanked him in his neck on freeflow
Them times there it was hectic
Had me on basic, no lights no electric
No canteen, no commissary
Them man there, had them voluntary
I got bagged with half a key
Two man singing, that's a harmony
I'm tryna buss case like Avon
But they won't let me out like Akon
They had me riding twenty-three lock down
Grub was getting shot down in a hot town

[Hook]
Behind these prison walls
Doing my paces
Doing my time
I am spending my restless nights
Visioning faces
Oh they all crying, crying
Prison ah nuh bed of roses
[Verse 2]
They had me doing up my paces
In and out of court, I was doing up my cases
Nah, I ain't tryna glamourise
I was doing laps on exercise
I had that killer Bobby, leave you paralysed
And we cut it down so we could maximise
They had me locked up in Belmarsh
All because the drugs used to sell fast
And we're packing the steel
I ain't tryna spend my days trapped in the vil', no
My brudda told me he was stressing out
IPP, doesn't know when he's getting out
I know what you're going through
Tried to call his girl but the phone ain't going through
And not a word from his baby mother
I think that bitch went and switched her number

[Hook]
Behind these prison walls
Doing my paces
Doing my time
I am spending my restless nights
Visioning faces
Oh they all crying, crying
Prison ah nuh bed of roses
