I'd get all excited when I saw them in my cell."I'd talk to them, I'd get down on the floor and watch them walk around. They were my friends. There were three that lived with me and I named them MANNY, MOE and JACK - they were the roaches that lived in my trash."They must have done some bad shit because they acted like they were never getting out of that place. I just know they're still there."
