Kool Keith - Girls in Jail LYRICS

[Kool Keith]

The date - summer, August 25th

You was transferred from Riker's Island to Attica State Prison

Gina, Thompson



I told you you shouldn'ta went out there with those other girls

and stole a coach bag out of Macy's

Arguin with me every night, you was crazy

Callin your grandmother sayin I beat you, you think I'm mental & crazy

That Benz you pulled up you stole you didn't faze me

You had a nice body with bikers

Inmates and female C.O.'s was lookin at your body at Riker's

I took time to write you a letter

but you wanted me to put dope in your sweater

I thought you was sick, with the flu, did you get any better?

Did you write back your Auntie Trineta?Floss and don't pay

Jack say he seen you with a drug dealer that day

You woulda been better off takin the subway



[Chorus]

My girl's in jail for life, never comin home - never comin home

She got to pay the price



[Kool Keith]

You got too big in New York

You needed big hustlers around everywhere you walk

A lot of Cristal, fake ballers poppin corks

Now you in a two-inch cell, eatin eggs and pork

Friday the 13th, your birthday, the worst day

I still had love for your dumb ass anyway

Bentleys and Rolls Royces

The answering machine filled up with mysterious voices

Your moms Ms. Jones called, I was in the mall, she said,

"Keith - Tina and Terry got them fake credit cards.

They got my daughter out there - I ain't seen Gina in two weeks."

I hung up the phone

I knew you was workin with some bronze pimp in the streets

(pimp in the streets.. pimp in the streets)



[Chorus]

My girl's in jail for life, never comin home - never comin home

She got to pay the price



[Kool Keith]

I called the operator to block the calls and stop the calls

The ceiling in my apartment was leakin like Niagara Falls

Sendin you a bunch of money, clothes and munchin money

You got a lot of phone call threats from a girl named Sunny

I seen the chick from the back

Puerto Rican girl with a nice ass drivin a black Cadillac

With a guy with long sideburns, is that your mack?

(is that your mack.. is that your mack)



[Chorus]

My girl's in jail for life - you're a bad girl - never comin home

She got to pay the price - you're a bad girl..

My girl's in jail for life - you're a bad bad girl - never comin home

She got to pay the price - you're a bad girl..
