Rikers Island

Well listen to me, you young hoods, this is some advice

You do the crime, you're paying the price

Cause if you're in the drug spots, selling crack on the block

Snatching chains, busting brains, like a real hard rock

If you ever hear a cop say you're under arrest

Go out just like a trooper, stick out your chest

Cause you might have been robbing, you might have been whylin'

But you won't be smiling on Riker's IslandJust to hear the name it makes your spine tingle

This is a jungle where the murderers mingle

This ain't a place that's crowded but there's room for you

Whether you're white or you're black, you'll be black and blue

Cause in every cell block, there is a hard rock

With a real nice device that's called a sock lock

Don't ever get caught in a crime my friend

Cause this bus trip is not to Adventure's Inn

They have a nice warm welcome, for new inmates

Razors, and shanks, and sharp edged plates

Posses will devour, punks with power

After the shower it's, rush hour

So watch your back before you get sacked

These a bunch of maniacs that's about to attack

If you're a hustling pro, keep a low profile'n

Cause you won't be smiling on Riker's IslandSee-74, adolescents at war

Put your ear to the floor, you can hear the roar

They take you out of BC, they now found you a cageAll eyes are glued to you like you're up on stage

If you're soft as a leaf, don't get into a beef

And God be with you chief if you got gold teeth

Some try to be hard, front and say I'm God

Don't know a lesson say a blessing, you're gonna get scared

(Yo call the C.O.) That won't be necessary

He'll watch him beat you down, and take your commissary-acap
