Inna jail, inna jail, tuff life deh inna jail Inna jail, inna jail, secret life deh inna jail Inna jail, inna jail, ain't no prophet inna jail Inna jail, inna jail, nothing proper inna jail

Dem say jail a mek yuh change, jail a mek yuh pay the cost forget everything yuh leave, the whole a dem a get lost sometimes life is so strange, stranger is what we do we own we build slum and penitentiaries and dead man town
