I went to see my nigga, he doin' seventeen |
| [00:21.107] |
One of the realist niggas, I done ever seen |
| [00:25.187] |
Got caught wit' a bird, but his record was clean |
| [00:29.138] |
Comin' back from Dade, on da Gator wit' speed |
| [00:33.138] |
He a real soldier, but his partner was greed |
| [00:37.133] |
Get out when he fourty, went in at twenty-three |
| [00:41.154] |
How seventeen years worth one key |
| [00:45.102] |
Some shit cost twenty-grand can get you over ten piece |
| [00:49.146] |
He ain't wanna hurt nobody, he was just tryna eat |
| [00:53.082] |
He had a real job, went to work four days a week |
| [00:56.986] |
Said this his last trip, and he was gettin' out the streets |
| [01:01.042] |
He a good nigga, second chance all he need |
| [01:04.954] |
Some niggas make mistakes, off fucked up circumstance |
| [01:09.250] |
Now they life gone, probably gon' die in the pen |
| [01:12.897] |
They done gave up on life and put it in God's hands |
| [01:16.945] |
I thought this was America, what happened to a second chance |
| [01:20.922] |
Some niggas make mistakes, off fucked up circumstance |
| [01:24.938] |
Now they life gone, probably gon' die in the pen |
| [01:29.005] |
They done gave up on life and put it in God's hands |
| [01:32.905] |
I thought this was America, what happened to a second chance |
| [01:36.730] |
Wish I had one chance, to sentence the Judge kids |
| [01:41.082] |
And watch 'em beg for they life like my niggas did |
| [01:45.010] |
Give them a life sentence fo' some shit that wasn't big |
| [01:48.914] |
'Fore they get granted they appeal they gotta do ten |
| [01:52.938] |
Shoe gotta be on the otha foot for you to understand |
| [01:56.860] |
The scariest shit in the world to be a black man |
| [02:00.801] |
What my future holds, wish I knew in advance |
| [02:04.873] |
I approach life everyday just hopin' I win |
| [02:08.985] |
A lot us already lost, we sittin' in the pen |
| [02:12.977] |
This shit crazy 'cause God, he forgive sin |
| [02:16.961] |
But when it come to the system that shit don't bend |
| [02:20.953] |
I guess it do, dependin' on the color of yo' skin |
| [02:24.921] |
Some niggas make mistakes, off fucked up circumstance |
| [02:29.041] |

I thought this was America, what happened to a second chance |
| [02:56.896] |
I thought it was understood, nobody was perfect |
| [03:00.993] |
So, how can one mistake make yo' life worthless |
| [03:05.153] |
God made us all, put us here to serve a purpose |
| [03:08.985] |
Yo life in twelve strangers hands to come back with a verdict |
| [03:13.001] |
But is that really fair, what if they all was dirty |
| [03:16.884] |
You mess up one time, and they come back with thirty |
| [03:20.928] |
But if you ain't got money, yo whole family hurtin' |
| [03:25.080] |
Then you ain't got a choice, you gotta cop out early |
| [03:28.960] |
But if you was rich, you wouldn'ta got them thirty |
| [03:32.936] |
What if the Judge racist, nobody'd overturn it |
| [03:36.973] |
The system fucked up, because it ain't sturdy |
| [03:40.817] |
Welcome to America, home of the controversy |
