[00:00.78] I'm wit'chu Spider; aiyyo check, one-two
[00:04.13] 'Tis cut goes out to all my brothers locked up
[00:06.73] In the penal systems all over the world y'knahmsayin
[00:09.68] I wrote this cut about a bridge, that takes you to Rikers Island
[00:13.57] I was locked up on Rikers Island, C-73, C-76
[00:17.32] This is my story about when I was in the mix
[00:20.57] "When it rains, it pours," that's what they all say
[00:23.72] Ridin' on the big bus down the highway
[00:26.27] Thinkin' of the next move, ridin' in the rain
[00:28.81] Headin' up the road to the bridge of pain
[00:31.48] Only if I woulda, only if I coulda
[00:34.13] Maybe I just shoulda, nah, that ain't gon' work
[00:36.87] I'm fucked up in the game, they got me by the balls
[00:39.37] To cross the bridge of pain, your ass is right behind the walls
[00:41.82] 'Fore you at that bridge, a lot of shit goes through yo' mind
[00:44.69] You stressed the fuck up, ready to spazz
[00:47.14] Goin' back behind the gate, walk around without a pass
[00:49.83] The bridge of pain makes you think of all of that
[00:52.37] Doin' magic ain't blankin' out none of that
[00:54.92] Because it's all about reality, you fucked up mentality
[00:57.73] So just sit back and face uh, the technicality
[01:00.44] This shit is real son, keepin' it gully
[01:03.03] 'Cause even after jail when you could be sleepin' at your telly
[01:05.59] Too late now is the name of the game
[01:08.10] 'Cause right around the corner is the bridge of pain
[01:11.09] Bridge of pain, bridge of pain
[01:13.66] Right around the corner is the bridge of pain
[01:16.36] Bridge of pain, bridge of pain
[01:18.83] Right around the corner is the bridge of pain
[01:21.54] Bridge of pain, bridge of pain
[01:24.24] Here we go again, back to this shit
[01:26.72] Same old shit, just a different toilet bowl
[01:29.87] Hangin' in there like a sweater in the closet
[01:32.19] Slow motion, is better than no motion
[01:34.50] Gotta beat the game tag, gettin' caught up in the broom
[01:37.34] Police sweep the streets to make room
[01:39.70] They don't give a fuck, all they want is rank
[01:42.47] Not givin' a fuck about what your family think
[01:45.26] You get Flavor Flav in the papers
[01:47.87] Headline news about all of my capers
[01:50.38] Everything that Flavor Flav gotta do hit the news
[01:53.03] Front page to back page, from the jail to the stage
[01:55.91] Make crowds outraged all over the world
[01:58.44] Around the world eight times, and I'm goin' for more
[02:01.00] I had it goin' real good 'til the judge stopped me
[02:03.62] Locked me up and tried to make the world drop me
[02:06.44] Simple and plain, Judge Goodman's insane
[02:08.85] After I saw his face, I crossed the bridge of pain
[02:11.64] Bridge of pain, bridge of pain
[02:14.21] Right around the corner is the bridge of pain
[02:16.97] Bridge of pain, bridge of pain
[02:19.49] Right around the corner is the bridge of pain
[02:22.16] Bridge of pain, bridge of pain
[02:26.99] Mind done ran down the drain, can't make no moves
[02:30.18] Loosin' all my shippin' 'cause of state boots
[02:32.75] I guess they need me, the C.O.'s lead me
[02:35.48] Some niggas greet me until they freed me
[02:38.14] To cross the bridge of happiness, which do exist
[02:40.63] Within the same bridge that you see in the mist
[02:43.22] But too late now is the name of the game
[02:45.88] 'Cause right around the corner is the bridge of pain
[02:48.57] Bridge of pain, bridge of pain
[02:51.14] Right around the corner is the bridge of pain
[02:53.87] Bridge of pain, bridge of pain
[02:56.55] Right around the corner is the bridge of pain
[02:59.24] Bridge of pain, bridge of pain
[03:01.91] Right around the corner is the bridge of pain
[03:04.56] Bridge of pain-
