Written by Curtis Mayfield
Sittin' here waitin' for tomorrow
But I don't think it'II ever come, well!
Just to think that I'm a young dude
My whole life is almost gone, well! well!
This prison life's a pressure
Keeps my back against the wall
Constant lookout, for the snakes and the
bandits
Program leads toward obscene law
I keep my back against the wall
Back against the wall, back against the wall
My friends now, have all but cut me loose
On the outside playin' safe
It's alright, 'cause in here is just like leavin'
the homeland, baby
If I survive it back, I could love your face
Here just a number from the past
Still sittin' here today
I don't know nothin' about my future,baby
But with my life I got to pay
They got my back against the wall
Back against the wall. back against the wall
Sack against the wall, back against the wall
(Instrumental Interlude)
Sittin' here waitin' for tomorrow
But I don't think it'II ever come, well!
Just to think that I'm a young dude
My whole life is almost gone. well! well!
Street con gonna show me the ropes, aw!
Coolest way to dealin' in the street
Took my mind, woman, and damn near my
so ul
Judge prison sentence, then cut me deep.
hey!
They have my back against the wall
My back against the wall
They had my back against the wall
My back against the wall
