[Verse 1]
Sittin' here waiting for tomorrow
I don't think it'll ever come
Well, just think that I'm a young dude
My whole life is almost gone
Well, well, this prison life's a pressure
Keeps my back against the wall
Constant look out for the snakes and the bandits
Program leans toward the unseen law
[Chorus]
I keep my back against the wall
(Back against the wall)
Back against the wall
[Verse 2]
My friends now have all but cut me loose
On the outside playing safe
It's alright
'Cause in here is just like leaving the homeland, baby
If I survive it back I could love your face
You're just a number from the past
I'm still sittin' here today
I don't know nothin' about my future, baby
But with my life I gotta pay
