Prison Is For Suckas — Real Talk Prison Statement T-shirt
Prison Is For Suckas tee — bold real-talk prison statement shirt
PRISON IS FOR SUCKAS is street wisdom with the warning label on — prison ain't a flex, it's a trap.
"Sucka" is the street's word for the one who got played — traded his freedom for a name that dies at the gate.
The message flips the whole script — the flex is staying free, not serving time.
For the ones who move too smart for a cell — and the ones the cell already taught.
Nothing you win inside is worth what you lose to get there.

OG Randy, born and raised in Brooklyn, spent years documenting the language of the culture in Street Talk: Da Official Guide To Hip-Hop and Urban Slanguage. Some designs use documented slang; others draw from the broader cultural territory of humor, family, faith, personality, and everyday expression.
