Riker's Island - Kool G. Rap & DJ Polo

Well listen to me  you young hoods  this is some advice 
You do the crime  you're payin the price 
Cause if you're in the drug spots  sellin crack on the block 
Snatchin chains  bustin brains  like a real hardrock 
If you ever hear a cop say you're under arrest 
Go out just like a trooper  stick out your chest 
Cause you might have been robbin  you might have been whylin 
But you won't be smilin on Riker's ISLAND 

Just to hear the name it makes your spine tingle 
This is a jungle where the murderers mingle 
This ain't a place that's crowded but there's room for you 
Whether you're white or you're black, you'll be black and blue 
Cause in every cellblock, there is a hardrock 
with a real nice device that's called a sock lock 
Don't ever get caught in a crime my friend 
Cause this bus trip is not to Adventure's Inn 
They have a nice warm welcome, for new inmates 
Razors, and shanks, and sharp edged plates 
Posses will devour, punks with power 
After the shower it's, rush hour 
So watch your back before you get sacked 
These a bunch of maniacs that's about to attack 
If you're a hustlin pro, keep a low profile'n 
Cause you won't be smilin on Riker's ISLAND 

C-74, adolescents at war 
Put your ear to the floor, you can hear the roar 
They take you out of BC, they now found you a cage 
All eyes are glued to you like you're up on stage 
If you're soft as a leaf, don't get into a beef 
And God be with you chief if you got gold teeth 
Some try to be hard, front and say I'm God 
Don't know a lesson say a blessin, you're gonna get scared 
(Yo call the C.O.) That won't be necessary 
He'll watch him beat you down, and take your commis
