shivering through a dope sick morning of no money left and nothing else to steal. 
G                                  Em                                                  D

G             Em             C                                                                  
but now living's a struggle, except when it isn't. (yeah), 
G             Em                        C
i woke up this morning and i wasn't in prison, 
G                   Em                 C
but i can't promise that i'm far from it. 
                                                   
i'd still kill a man for cigarette, 
G                    Em               C
but with friends like you, who needs homicide? 
G                         Em                    C                           
so this song goes out to all our homies locked down. 
G       Em                     C        
come on back now, we need you around. 
G              Em                      C
that judge, he doesn't know what he's done. 
G          Em                          C
