[Nicodemus - Life Inna Jailhouse lyrics]
Maybe this called "Life Inna
Jailhouse No Sweet"
'Cause I man have to sleep
On di cool concrete
But I man are di boss of a di beat
But when mi come a street, mi a
Say, life in a jailhouse no sweet (Bim)
Say, life in a jailhouse no sweet
Jah man, mi have fi sleep on di cool concrete
Jah man, for mi say
I man di boss of a di beat
For, mi say, life in a jailhouse no sweet
Jah man, for mi say
Life in a jailhouse no sweet
Jah man, for mi say
I man di boss of a di beat
Jah man, mi have fi sleep on di cool concrete
For mi say, when Sunday come
Dem a give mi piece of meat
For, when Sunday come
Dem a give mi piece of meat
It stringy-stringy-stringy
It a itch up a mi teeth
An’ a I man a di boss of a di beat
For, life in a jailhouse no nice
Jah man, for mi say
Life in a jailhouse no nice jah man
Mi meditate pon mi chicken an' mi rice
Jah man, mi meditate pon mi gal name Joyce
For mi say, sister Joyce
She a gwan like she nice
For, big-big sound, di chicken bucket
White rice she give mi carrot juice an' it
No have in no ice
Dat di food can nice (So, widdly-widdly-bop)
A dis a one, it a di people dem choice
Mi kill forty lead
We are go kill off di lies
But some of dem are mice
Dem no know not no nice mi nah go a
For when mi have gun
Mi have fi hide from mi wife
Mi children, dem a talk ’bout, "Daddy
You are vice"
Jah man, for mi say
Life in a jailhouse no sweet
Jah man, mi have fi sleep on di cool concrete
Jah man, for mi say
I man di boss of a di beat
For mi say, when mi come on street
Mi an' him are go meet
Mi are go kick out di two front teeth
Say, life in a jailhouse no sweet
Say, big Nicodemus make we do it
Jah man, for mi say, dweet, pupa Demus
You fi dweet
I tell you, you fi dweet, pupa Demus
You fi dweet jah man
Beca' di life in a jailhouse no sweet
We nah go up in di penitentiary
That's why, we nah go up in di penitentiary
(Jah man) say, dem in dem no long play
Mi say, mi don't want no warden come lick mi
Hail Jah man, for mi a God-bless pickney
Mi say
Mi have a big family that depend on me
Mi have a big family that depend on me
An' if mi go a prison, dem a keep me hungry
Said-a, life in a jailhouse no sweet
Jah man, for mi say
Life in a jailhouse no sweet
Jah man, we have fi sleep on di cool concrete
Jah man, for mi say
I man di boss of a di beat
For mi say, when Sunday come up

An' a I man a di boss of a di beat
