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 |

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 |
