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 you're the cock of the walk But you're 24 and 5 times in Life on upper H it's just another cage A system feeding on the souls of men Another 3 months and you're out and about Ironically on good behavior You still got no fear for the law no doubt And you still ain't found the Savior Recidivism Such a sanitized dirty word In and out of prison It ain't no glamour, I don't care what you've heard The heart of man, a deceitful wretch I know I can't 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 death? The Lamb who cleanses all the earth It's a slippery slope, but by God there's hope The blood of Christ is where I find my worth Recidivism Such a sanitized dirty word In and out of prison It ain't no glamour, I don't care what you've heard Recidivism The soul of man is such a hopeless case Recidivism 'Til we repent and start to seek God's face |
