[Verse 1]
When you're in prison, don't turn the other way
Keep your back against the wall
When you're in prison, don't turn the other way
Do not bend at all

[Chorus 1]
Oh, don't pick up the soap, pick up the soap
It's bad for you
Oh, don't pick up the soap, pick up the soap
Someone will be waiting there for you

[Verse 2]
When you're in prison, be sure to stay awake
Always lie upon your back
When you're in prison, be sure to stay awake
Keep you from attack

[Chorus 2]
Oh, don't be no one's bitch, be no one's bitch
It's bad for you
Oh, don't be no one's bitch, be no one's bitch
They won't help you make it through

[Verse 3]
When you're in prison, don't turn the other way
Follow what I say to do
When you're in prison, don't turn the other way
You can make it through
You can make it through
You can make it through
