Inside nine walls, Forty feet tall
I sense a criminal element inside us all
Regardless of uniform, race, or creed
The human heart is filled with a Jesus need Walkin the block like youre the co*k of the walk
But youre 24 and 5 times in
Life on upper H its just another cage
A system feeding on the souls of men
Another 3 months and youre out and about
Ironically on good behavior
You still got no fear for the law no doubt
And you still aint found the Savior Recidivism
Such a sanitized dirty word
In and out of prison
It aint no glamour, I dont care what youve heard The heart of man, a deceitful wretch
I know I cant be lookin down on you
I find the same laws at work in the heart of this jerk
And in a flash I can be fallin too
Who saves me from this body of d**h?
The Lamb who cleanses all the earth
Its a slippery slope, but by God theres hope
The blood of Christ is where I find my worth Recidivism
Such a sanitized dirty word
In and out of prison
It aint no glamour, I dont care what youve heard Recidivism
The soul of man is such a hopeless case
Recidivism
Til we repent and start to seek Gods face
