Passenger of the Knight

[Hook]
Caught me slipping one fateful night
Now I'm laying on my back
Caught me slipping one fateful night
Now I'm laying on my back; It's too late
Caught me slipping one fateful night
Now I'm laying on my back
Caught me slipping one fateful night
Now I'm laying on my back
Boy too hood for that

[Verse]
Mama, I killed a man; right now I'm miles away
I know it's been days, but scared of what you'd say
Plus they were getting close; the hunt is under way
I saw them lights flash; I had to ándale
I had to disappear; I hope you understand
Just know I'm safe now; I'm in a foreign land
Call Tameka, she got about a hundred grand
All cash; look I know this ain't the life you planned
But you were doing the best a young woman can
When she got two young boys in the house making noise
Playing cops and robbers; both want to be the robber
And they concerned with a dollar; couldn't care less about toys
Cause Legos won't stop this pain in my abdomen
So I had to hit the Ave. with men
That were twice my age; the bread they craved
So they would sell anything to bring them baskets in

And they were KD when the shots' off
Next to green like AC when it popped off: cold
I got a taste of control; and somewhere on this road I lost my soul
Remember all those stories that you told
About Jesus' return? Well, Mama, I don't think I ever learned
See this is just the surface that we scratching
When I tell you it happened if there is a Hell, I know I'm gon' burn
And this forgiveness, I know I don't deserve
But right now I'm reaching for any verses that I've heard
And these scriptures that I've read, and these prayers that you said
But all I keep seeing's me leaving that man dead
On the side of the road with a hole in his head
I hopped in the car and sped
As if the same blood flowing through these veins
In my frame ain't the same line as the blood that that man shed
And I don't know what to do

See that wasn't just a man, Mama
You see that man came from you
My mom's so ashamed
If Clive was Abel, I guess that I'm Cain
I caught him stealing from my stash
The first time he got a pass
I said, "Aye it's my brother birthed from the same mother
I'mma put it in the past"
Then he lied to my face
Like it was all good
I had to put him in his place
Good bye, Mr. Hood

[Hook]

[Outro]
They tell me that I can change; It's too late
Boy too hood for that
They tell me that I can change; It's too late
I'm a lion untamed
Caught me slipping one fateful night
Now I'm laying on my back
Homie, I'm Clive Lee Hood
