   ok first things first you are all right :) but if you acualy download interviews and shit like that then you know ALOT OF THE REAL MEANINGS they tell them all the time if you don't have any then find some. Any way the REAL MEANING is about darron (once again no shocker) he was in prision for a drug crime and they call it the prision song because he went there and it's about drugs because that's wat he was there for. I watch interviews :) but hey maybe he just lied or was high. Ill go with high lmfao

   "I buy my crack, I smack my bitch, right here in Hollywood."
   
   This is making fun of those people who revolve their lives around drugs and women, especially with the voice.
