With powerful, unapologetic lyrics, Penitentiary Master of the Game tells a story of crime, remorse, redemption
WALK IN THE PRISONER'S SHOES!
Prison life is unpredictable and it's not easy to be a model prisoner and also stand your ground among socialpaths and haters. Life-and-death decisions are made daily, often about issues the public would consider irrelevant, even trite, but are important to the prisoner's concept of respect, or "disrespect." There are "deadly decisions" impossible to avoid or dismiss; they are etched into the psyche of every prisoner as part of a prison code, and defying the code can lead to severe consequences.
Navigating the choreography of arrest, prison, and reentry, maintaining peer respect and personal integrity, and leaving prison sane with marketable skills and a positive attitude requires strategy, diplomacy, "luck," and mastering the penitentiary game. The lyrics and beat of "Penitentiary Master of the Game" are unapologetic, and uncompromising, and define this transformation from outlaw to redemption.
