Lyrics

[00:16.95] I went to see my nigga, he doin' seventeen
[00:20.79] One of the realist niggas, I done ever seen
[00:24.87] Got caught wit' a bird, but his record was clean
[00:28.93] Comin' back from Dade on a Gator wit' speed
[00:32.83] He a real soldier but his partner was greed
[00:36.93] Get out when he forty, went in at twenty three
[00:40.87] How seventeen years worth one key
[00:44.78] Some shit cost twenty grand, he get you over ten piece
[00:48.78] He ain't wanna hurt nobody, he was just tryna eat
[00:52.71] He had a real job, went to work four days a week
[00:56.74] Said this his last trip and he was gettin' out the streets
[01:00.78] He a good nigga, second chance all he needs
[01:04.66] Some niggas make mistakes, all fucked up circumstance
[01:08.72] Now they life gone, probably gon' die in the pen
[01:12.77] They done gave on up life and put it in God's hands
[01:16.70] I thought this was America, what happened to a 2nd chance?
[01:20.73] Some niggas make mistakes, all fucked up circumstance
[01:24.72] Now they life gone, probably gon' die in the pen
[01:28.75] They gave up on life and put it in God's hands
[01:32.66] I thought this was America, what happened to a 2nd chance?
[01:36.72] Wish I had one chance, to sentence the judge kids
[01:40.54] And watch 'em beg for they life like my niggas did
[01:44.64] Give them a life sentence fo' some shit that wasn't big
[01:48.51] 'Fore they get granted they appeal, they gotta do ten
[01:52.38] Shoe gotta be on the other foot for you to understand
[01:56.58] The scariest shit in the world to be a black man
[02:00.85] What my future holds, wish I knew in advance
[02:04.67] I approach life everyday just hopin' I win
[02:08.76] A lot us already lost, we sittin' in the pen
[02:12.63] This shit crazy 'cause God, he forgive sin
[02:16.69] But when it come to the system that shit don't bend
[02:20.68] I guess it do, dependin' on the color of yo' skin
[02:24.70] Some niggas make mistakes, all fucked up circumstance
[02:28.67] Now they life gone, probably gon' die in the pen
[02:32.74] They done gave up on life and put it in God's hands
[02:36.70] I thought this was America, what happened to a 2nd chance?
[02:40.75] Some niggas make mistakes, all fucked up circumstance
[02:44.69] Now they life gone, probably gon' die in the pen
[02:48.63] They gave up on life and put it in God's hands
[02:52.68] I thought this was America, what happened to a 2nd chance?
[02:56.83] I thought it was understood, nobody was perfect
[03:00.63] So, how can one mistake make yo' life worthless?
[03:04.74] God made us all, put us here to serve a purpose
[03:08.73] Your life in twelve stranger's hands to come back with a verdict
[03:12.72] But is that really fair, what if they all was dirty
[03:16.60] You mess up one time, and they come back with thirty
[03:20.62] But if you ain't got money, your whole family hurtin'
[03:24.70] Then you ain't got a choice, you gotta cop out early
[03:28.66] But if you was rich, you wouldn'ta got them thirty
[03:32.65] What if the judge racist, nobody'd overturn it
[03:36.68] The system fucked up, because it ain't sturdy
[03:40.62] Welcome to America, home of the controversy
[03:44.77] Some niggas make mistakes, all fucked up circumstance
[03:48.16]
[03:48.72] Now they life gone, probably gon' die in the pen
[03:52.70] They done gave up on life and put it in God's hands
[03:56.53] I thought this was America, what happened to a 2nd chance?
[04:00.62] Some niggas make mistakes, all fucked up circumstance
[04:04.73] Now they life gone, probably gon' die in the pen
[04:08.69] They gave up on life and put it in God's hands
[04:12.64] I thought this was America, what happened to a 2nd chance?
[04:16.52]
