Woke up feeling good about myself
nothing could bring my world down NOTHING!
my world shining so bright lizards put on shades
birds sing the song of happiness and pride
i walk out the house with happy strides
thank you god for this wonderful day
thank you mother earth for this beautiful land
i walk in strides
showing off my pride
life shining so bright i could probably rock the mic for a night
walking in strides
showing off my pride

this jailhouse
this jailhouse
this jailhouse
that's what these kids call it
not school but this jailhouse
teachers real cool but this principle
he's a fool
rules rules RULES!!!
uniforms enforce
no remorse
locked up till 4
this shit is bore
but i still walk in strides
showing off my pride

this jailhouse
this jailhouse
this jailhouse
filled with the asses of all asses
filled with the bitches of all bitches
hoes of all hoes
the best of the best
but the worst of the worst
jokers and nerds
say the same words just
in different language
beauty from different sides
wear different prides
but i wear my own pride
while walking in strides
