	Story Behind the Song Growing up in Chil Town Chil Akey and the Grynch saw alot of their friends and relatives in and out of the penal institutions of this country,like Rikers Island and Rahway and Trenton State prisons."The mindset and mentality of our brothers locked down is something that we feel we can identify with. You say,well have you ever been locked up? No I havn't. But I don't have to eat a whole cow to know that it's beef either. What I'm sayin' is if you black you were born in jail. And many young whites today are startin' to feel what we've been feelin' all along. Oppressed! The song wrote itself really,all I did was right down the words as they came through the pen. Sometimes it's like that,you just sit back and let spirit guide you. In this case it was the spirit of someone locked up who want's and needs to express himself. That's the way I see it. Anyway,once Grynch and Gil got the track together it was over. We recorded the whole thing in about two hours from start to finish. It was real smooth. You know? Chil Akey Lyrics Everyday is the same My mental's pourin in rain. My soul is tattered and stained I gots nobody to blame. But every morning I wake up and make up. Throw the stinger in the hype so I can beat the morning shake ups. Bust the door! Bust the door! Heard the bell ring twice,counts right been tight all night. Dreamt of Niagra falls but when I woke up I was still lookin at the same motha fuckin walls. I aint complainin'I don't need no sympathy I stand alone I dont need no one to do dis bid for me. That got me locked up and locked down, Still I keep it 40 inches all around Right to throw my thing down. Woop! Woop! dats the sound of the police The devil in the blue suit who's evil's never cease. I'm frustrated and slated. I can't abate it. I've waited, I can't debate it or state it. But still I hate it when a C.O try to play me out because I'm lock down,who think his badge give him rights to throw the beat down. From one on one dem suckas run like a pig from a gun ,but wit they gang here they come, here they come... You it's a code blue so whatcha gonna do? C You wanna fuck wit me so now Im gonna H fuck wit you. O You it's a code blue so how you gonna act? R It's time to strap em up and yo lets get U this devil back. S Yo,it's a code blue so whats it gonna be? Somebody's goin down it's either himor me... It aint me, Because I'm ready physically. My body's hard as steel Can't no weakness enter me. My mental state's capacity is right and exact. Sparkin clip after clip But keep my focus in tact,you see. Cause where I'm walkin it don't pay to be weak. You play around and get that ass sold cheap. You got God's Neta's,Latin Kings and Bloods galore. Few stand alone when they stand on this side of the door. I keep it real wit you,I won't front.Do what you do til you get what you want. I watch my back,my front ,my left and right sides at all times. I stay on point,aint no loosness in my mind. I know the time in this game for the mind. I keep it all locked up til it's time to unwind. And when I do it you best believe that it's fluid. I bring it raw,hard,rough enough so you could chew it. I'm society's product,but aint not blind. Take a look at my face,take a look at your mind. I'm the result of the sickness you brought. The pain and the violence,and the hatred you taught. I'm the epitome of what you don't wanna see. So now your lookin at me But still you cannot see,yo... CHORUS Here he come again to play me warm and soft. It aint no holdin back this time it's time to set it off. So when I step out I step out for what's been kept out. And if they roll in deep on me? Then I bring the wet out! I bring it out, I bring it hard Ibring it raw! Have scared blood runnin,runnin for the door! This what you want from me this is what you need? Well come and get it,it's enough to fill your greed. I'm not an animal,but you don't understand. Behind these bars you aint lookin like a man. I'm self contained,I know the time My mind aint blind. Cause when it's all said anwithd done, you gettin paid for my time. So what's the crime in it? And if I'm shine it,blind in it. Spend my prime in it. Feel with it,real with it How I heal with it. Steal with it,meal with it But always underestimate the mind it takes to deal with it. I'm holdin up,you pushin down. When you attack,I'm holdin back. But I cant keep livin like that. I gotta go for self,I gotta go wit my true sence. Man the Hell wit the consequence!!!
