Friend Went to Jail Lyrics

My friend went to jail
Ain't got no one there
Sad in a cell (ten years)
Ten years it wasn't planned
I saw your son (He's become a man)
He is become a man
Tell him take care
You don't want him in there
I buried your gun
Wiped off the fingerprints
Heard your boys have snitched (Snitch grass!)
We haven't seen you since
I'll see you in ten
And we'll live again
And if money comes (we'll fly)
We'll fly to the sun
Street boys (we)
They sing the saddest songs
Street boys
We sing the saddest songs

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
