Solitary Confinement from JAAL by J-Toth from Hoth

Ever been locked up? I have
Baby mama knocked up? My bad
Smoke coke rocked up? Sorry Dad
It's not like I wanted to wrong you like that

A mind is a terrible thing to let w
It's like a pig, and it feeds off shit
If I let it dictate the littlest of whims
I might as well submit to The Wizard of Id

But I know better, and I'm a go-getter
My girl's such a find that I gotta go get her
Chock full of lies, I could get no better
I stopped pulling the wool over eyes, I'm no sweater

Got my mind right with some quality alignment
Filled it full of love, prosperity, refinement
Selflessness, harmony, an army full of kindness
To keep me out of the hell of solitary confinement

Every day alive is another campaign
If I live a lie, then it's just a damn shame
Hiding in plain sight, enough of that game
She just rolls her eyes when I try to mansplain

One time I nicknamed my ego Freedom
Talking like me, as if I was supposed to be him
Hungry, for bad ideas, like I should feed him
If I don't want to join him, I gotta beat him

I said we are not friends and he can't be mine
But he's set in his ways and refused to decline, he
Said we are stuck together, he's the reason I'm alive
But real friends don't let friends think and drive

I put him in a cell for his own safekeeping
Soundproof, I can't hear his yells or weeping, as
Long as Freedom isn't free, I'll stay sleeping
Soundly at night while he keeps daydreaming
