Jailbreak
AC Lyrics

There was a friend of mine on murder
The artist introduces the story of a friend who was charged with murder.

And the judge's gavel fell
The verdict was announced by the judge.

Jury found him guilty
The jury declared him guilty.

Gave him sixteen years in hell
He was sentenced to long-term imprisonment.

He said "I ain't spending my life here
He refused to spend the rest of his life in jail.

I ain't livin' alone
He declined to live by himself in jail.

Ain't breakin' no rocks on the chain gang
He did not want to be physically abused in prison.

I'm breakin' out and heading home"
He plans to escape from prison and return home.

Gonna make a (jailbreak)
He's determined to escape from prison.

And I'm looking towards the sky
He's possibly waiting for a chance to escape.

Oh, how I wish that I could fly
He wishes he had wings to fly and escape.

All in the name of liberty
Escape is essential for the sake of his liberty.

Got to be free
He's seen his jail time as imprisonment and deprivation of freedom.

(Jailbreak)
He's emphasizing his decision to escape from prison.

Let me outta here
He's requesting an escape from jail.

Sixteen years
He's upset about being imprisoned for a long time.

Had more than I can take
He's unable to tolerate the prison environment anymore.

He said he'd seen his lady being fooled with
The artist introduces the backstory of his decision to commit murder.

By another man
His lady was in a relationship with another man.

She was down and he was up

Had a gun in his hand
He took possession of a weapon as a means of seeking revenge.

Bullets started flying everywhere
There was a shootout in which many bullets were fired.

People start to scream
There was commotion and chaos everywhere.

Big man lyin' on the ground
The artist managed to hit his target and end his rival's life.

With a hole in his body where his life had been
His rival's breathing/body became inactive as he fell to the ground.

Heartbeats

They were racing
His heart was pounding very fast.

Freedom

He was chasin'
He was striving for his personal freedom and did not want to remain captive.

Spotlights

Sirens
The sounds of sirens suggest that the authorities are searching for the artist.

Rifles firing
Prison guards point rifles in the direction trying to stop the artist.

But he made it out
Despite heavy interference from prison guards, he successfully escaped the prison.

With a bullet in his back
In the escape through prison walls, he suffered a gunshot injury in his back.
