Riker's Island

Kool G. Rap & DJ Polo

Well listen to me you young hoods this is some advice



You do the crime you're payin the price



Cause if you're in the drug spots sellin crack on the block



Snatchin chains bustin brains like a real hardrock



If you ever hear a cop say you're under arrest



Go out just like a trooper stick out your chest



Cause you might have been robbin you might have been whylin



But you won't be smilin on Riker's ISLAND




Just to hear the name it makes your spine tingle



This is a jungle where the murderers mingle



This ain't a place that's crowded but there's room for you



Whether you're white or you're black, you'll be black and blue



Cause in every cellblock, there is a hardrock



with a real nice device that's called a sock lock



Don't ever get caught in a crime my friend



Cause this bus trip is not to Adventure's Inn



They have a nice warm welcome, for new inmates



Razors, and shanks, and sharp edged plates



Posses will devour, punks with power



After the shower it's, rush hour



So watch your back before you get sacked



These a bunch of maniacs that's about to attack



If you're a hustlin pro, keep a low profile'n



Cause you won't be smilin on Riker's ISLAND




C-74, adolescents at war



Put your ear to the floor, you can hear the roar



They take you out of BC, they now found you a cage



All eyes are glued to you like you're up on stage



If you're soft as a leaf, don't get into a beef



And God be with you chief if you got gold teeth



Some try to be hard, front and say I'm God



Don't know a lesson say a blessin, you're gonna get scared



(Yo call the C.O.) That won't be necessary



He'll watch him beat you down, and take your commis
