Home Brew Crew - State Of Mind [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Tom Scott]
Just sittin' in my lonely cell, with my lonely self
And nothin more than my thoughts - no one else
I got my cell mate misery he knows me well
He keep me company and help me to, open my mail
And a, he'll never tell anybody my secrets
That I keep, deep, underneath sheets of reefer
Cause, people are lethal, like the injection
You can never quite tell, despite the impressions so
I never left screws, up in my mind
You wanna search my cell I got, nothin to hide
You wanna frame me, kill me, milk me of my purity
But they can't penetrate my maximum security
We're livin' in a world, wild full of wickedness
Where people treated like they're prisoners with no visitors
Every day, but I'm gonna figure out an escape plan
Gotta get up out of this cage man, they say that

[Hook]
Prison is a state of mind
I'm doin time
Misery is a mate of mine
I heard that

Prison is a state of mind
I'm doin time
Misery is a mate of mine
They Say that

Prison is a state of mind
I'm doin time
Misery is a mate of mine
It Feels like

Prison is a state of mind
I'm doing time...

[Verse 2: Tom Scott]
Sometimes i feel as if im doin life
But, am I really alive
Or just survivin inside solitary confinement
In the mind, I'm too scared of thinking out side
I've had these bars so long, I can't tell who's behind them
Shit, guess I sold myself to the cell
Turned myself in and told myself that I failed
It's like, my biggest monster is, my own consciousness
A con conned by his own self confidence
Chained up in the cuffs of his own thoughts
Opportunity rung, I hung myself by the phone cord
Wanting for more than we hope for
Livin in paradise, thinkin' 'bout jumpin' the gold wall
Sit and think in my wrinkled jumpsuit
About my life on the outside as a young dude
I take a blunt spoon out of the lunch room
And try to dig a hole to the old I once knew

[Hook]
Prison is a state of mind
I'm doin time
Misery is a mate of mine
I heard that

Prison is a state of mind
I'm doin time
Misery is a mate of mine
They Say that

Prison is a state of mind
I'm doin time
Misery is a mate of mine
It Feels like

Prison is a state of mind
I'm doing time...
