Born to Be Jailed Lyrics by Barry Benson

2020

[Intro]
It doesn't matter if you love commit credit card fraud
Or tax fraud
Just put your orange jumpsuit on
Cause you were born to be jailed

[Verse 1]
Sitting behind prison bars
With murderers and superstars
As long as you don’t kill anyone
It’s okay to be a criminal
One did hit and run
The other armed robbery with a gun
I doxxed and got arrested
They offered a plea deal and I accepted

[Chorus]
Bring on your mask
Let’s go rob a bank
With no getaway car
Cause I was born to be jailed
Don't be ashamed of your crimes
Be proud of the good times
Robbing with no getaway car
Cause I was born to be jailed

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born to jail
Baby, I was born jail
Oh, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born to jail
Criminal record, baby
I was born to jail

[Interlude]
Don't be an assassin, just be an ass
Don't be an assassin, just be an ass
Don't be an assassin, just be an ass

[Verse 2]
It’s not illegal to bully critics
Well, not according to these lyrics
We can burn all Taylor’s haters
Leaving behind no survivors
Maybe they took my freedom
But they can’t take my soul
I love my life
I love my cell mates
Can’t wait for our jailbreak

[Chorus]
Bring on your mask
Let’s go rob a bank
With no getaway car
Cause I was born to be jailed
Don't be ashamed of your crimes
Be proud of the good times
Robbing with no getaway car
Cause I was born to be jailed

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born to jail
Baby, I was born jail
Oh, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born to jail
Criminal record, baby
I was born to jail

[Outro]
I was born to jail, hey!
I was born to jail, hey!
Criminal record, baby
I was born to jail
I was born to jail, hey!
I was born to jail, hey!
Criminal record, baby
I was born to jail (hey!)
