Boo! Scared yet? "Its about to get real up in this mother fucker"!

Have you ever been scared for your life?
I don't mean with a terminal illness.
You keep up your fight
Stay vigilant
this is the fight of your life

 And I don't mean startled
While white knuckle driving
on a Michigan icy winter road
That only lasts a fraction of a second


I mean sitting in a stall
Pants down around your ankles
Listening to whispers on the other side
why are they whispering?
Listening closely
Did I remember to wipe?

  Beyond the whispers is the rest of the prisoners
watching the news anticipating the call "chow"!
Russel's voice chanting sticks out 
"it's about to get real up in this mother fucker"
News doesn't help rolling a story of a black inmate across the street killed by white corrections officers
A helicopter flying overhead capturing video of the prison yard and buildings engulfed with flames 
Sirens from police, fire and medical emergency units prison lock down whistle blowing 
And still Russel pounding his fist on his chest
"it's about to get real up in this mother fucker".
What did I get myself into?

 I came out of the stall at arms
No one seems to notice me
being freaked out
Except Earl Pullin my bunkie
He said," what's up white boy"?
laughing at Russel
Don't let Russell freak you out
They get away with this all the time
Killing a man in jail
Striping him from his rights
 killing him.
And getting away with it.
Happens all the time
Just write about it

It's about to get real
Up in this mother fucker
It happens all the time
