[00:37.81]
[00:38.37]I will never tell even if it means sittin in a cell
[00:41.49]I ain't never ran' never will
[00:43.36]I ain't never been smacked; a nigga better keep his hands
[00:45.80]To himself or get clapped for what's under that man's belt
[00:48.93]I never asked for nothin I don't demand of myself

[02:43.52]And two wrongs don't make a right
