Tech characterized the song in this way:

“I wanted a posse cut for this album but instead of having some random number of MCs spit self glorifying battle verses I decided to come up with a story oh how drugs get from a place like South America to the spot in the ghetto. Each MC represents a different person throughout the journey, when I bought these niggaz over to my studio and we played the instrumental, everyone wrote their character like a movie script. CrayWalz then came through the following week and summed it all up from the point of view of a person who was misguided by the quick money and realized how the system was set up once he was locked in prison, a perfect lead into Harlem Streets. Thanks again to all those involved.”

He’s saying, you go from having sex with women to being a piece of ass, (prison tale), in prison. Also, it could show a drastic change from being a pussy or being very weak, to being a prison tale, a legend in one of the world’s most fearful building.

He could also be referring to the fact that so many young people are imprisoned for minor crimes like possessing/dealing drugs despite being otherwise kind, soft ‘pussies’ that would never hurt anybody. This would mean that when they arrive in prison they are toughened up due to the violence and leave a more angry, aggressive person.
