it’s crazy in here. i know you can’t tear a man from his animal. ain’t right. but some of these n-ggas got real wild animals, man. one guy’s got a cougar. you can’t tell me that’s right, letting a prisoner walk around with a cougar
there’s an order to things, too. don’t matter what you did, you got a bad–ss animal in here, you’re a bad–ss too. and it don’t matter how many people you k!lled, you got a chipmunk or squirrel, you’re gonna be a b-tch. way it is
then there’s me. i got a b-tterfly. keep it in a matchbox. i outta be p-ssed off, man. you can guess what it’s like being in here with a b-tterfly. except for the stuff it lets me do
see, when i go to sleep every night, i wake up as someone else. for the time i’m asleep, i live the day of someone else on the other side of the world. man i’ve been kids in africa and india. i was once this old chinese woman. mostly i’m poor, but sometimes i get lucky and i’m rich
what i’m saying is, i can’t hate the b-tterfly. b-tterfly breaks me out of here every night
