lyrics

There were some guards that were really nice
And they opened up those doors for us
I was in Rikers she was umm
She was very beautiful
We ended up having a relationship hardbody
This is mad years ago I doubt they’re even there
And if they are there they’re probably captains and wardens now
You know what i’m saying
But they opened up those doors
They let us go in there
They let us make out for a little bit
Cause we were real cool you know what I’m saying
We didn’t bother nobody
We’re two latinos that just
That’s in love
