R.A. The Rugged Man

Producer: Vapor World

They say snitches get stitches
You snitch or you hit me, hit me, hit me
You fucked up
You see, we sit here in jail, right?
They sit over the phones and TV
That's where they, that's where they argue and fight over the most
Who gon' use the phone, they stressed out
They got, see that's why, that's why back in the day in the 80's
Guys go to jail, only had one phone
Ready, ready, Rugged, you gotta grab that cup
All that rioting and fighting and all of that shit
Now they got like four
But they got a Muslim phone, Peruvian phone, a regular phone
Got all of them phones to keep down, to keep down the peace
