[Intro: Vybz Kartel, Alozade]
Up to di time (yeahh!)
Yo, mi shoulda seh "up to di crime" (what's good?)
Eeh, Alo
A weh you deh ya fah?
Dem seh assault (eeh) so Kartel, weh you deh ya fah?
A di same ting man, yuh know anuh lame ting
Hey roach (hey, hey!)

[Verse 1: Vybz Kartel, Alozade]
When Shotta go a jail, we nuh empty no shit pale
Grill fly, mi nuh peep thru rail, me have weed for sale
Mi lawyer a big queen's council, so mi neva worry bout bail
When shotta go a jail, warder send in female
High grade inhale and exhale
We nuh nyam prison food, steam fish and lobster tail
Hennessy bore mi head likе nail
Dem cyaa beat me, likе weh dem do Arthur Wale
Mi have a judge woman a Meadowvale, one a Greendale
Di bwoy weh lock me up, when him see me him haffi smile and hail
Mi nuh gyal like Suzie Q weh deh pon reggae trail
Fi crush like bread when it stale
When you go prison you go college
Bigger than UWI, Oxford, Hartford and Yale
Timeless!
[Chorus: Vybz Kartel, Alozade]
Prison life, never never never nice
Prison life (anuh nutn like paradise)
Prison life, man tek yuh life
And when yuh rest in peace, is another man a tek yuh wife
Prison life, never never never nice
Prison life (anuh nutn like paradise)
Prison life, man a tek yuh life
When yuh rest in peace, is another man a tek yuh wife

[Verse 2: Vybz Kartel, Alozade]
Jail anuh daycare center, no pet come, no creech
Yuh cyaa wear brief, anuh beach
If yuh soap drop, dat bow, nuh care how yuh preach
Watch where yuh walk bare feet
Badman wull it straight, beaten fi who dont straight
Thugs and gays nuh locate
Jawbone wi' dislocate, knife cut bun yuh skin like [?] and ovate
Bwoy cyaa tek di visit
Tell me him a shotta, mi seh "is it"
Seh him have murder charge, mi go quiz it
Mi find seh di charge him deh pon more smaller than a midget
Knife stab, double digit, Madden fridge it
We shall support sure, Central greater Portmore
One day yuh must walk thru di door, gyal out deh galore
Zebra a rapist so low him, please free up Jah Cure
[Chorus: Vybz Kartel, Alozade]
Prison life, never never never nice
Prison life (anuh nutn like paradise)
Prison life, man tek yuh life
And when yuh rest in peace, is another man a tek yuh wife
Prison life, never never never nice
Prison life (anuh nutn like paradise)
Prison life, man a tek yuh life
When yuh rest in peace, is another man a tek yuh wife
