He's planning a robbery
Lack of common sense
Bad vibes and a story
That stands for accidents
And now he's gonna get lucky
This time he'll play it smart
By the time lucky gets lucky
When he steps out of the getaway car
Yeah, now he's gonna get lucky
This time he'll play it smart
By the time lucky gets lucky
When he steps out of the getaway car
Feeling fine rhymes on cell 29
Feeling lonely in cell 29
I can remember your face
And I pace and I pace in C29
Callin' further needs, max security
Feeling fine rhymes on cell 29
Feeling lonely in cell 29
I can remember your face
And I pace and I pace in C29
Call it villainy, max security
While I eat that food, sleep that sleep
Miss that kiss, feel real cheap
Swallow the pills, forget all the thrills
No more bills, it's a crime, cell 29
Feeling fine rhymes on cell 29
Can't wait to fly out of cell 29
Miss the space and the trays
Of wine in cell 29
Call it villainy, max security
Feeling fine rhymes on cell 29
