Death Row

[Intro]
I wanna dedicate this to my roadie
Anneau Thomas, rest in peace
This for you, baby boy
Remember when we used to bump it together?
Still goes on

[Verse 1]
Growin' up in the hood, nothin' changed, just the same
Daddy used to tell me on the streets that it's a mind game
Never trust nobody, all for one, well, scratch that, one for all
Better watch your back, and pack a gat, 'cause that shit gonna fall
Now that I'm a grown mane, packin' is a natural thang
Livin' in the fast lane, 'cause I'm in a crip gang
Now, I'm sellin' dope, and breakin' 'em down to the niggas uptown
Smoke a blunt, try to go through, then, commence to doin' a crime
Since I'm drunk as hell, it make no difference what I'm gonna do
Ran up in some sucker's crib, smoked 'em, and his daddy, too
5-0s on the murder scene, drop my weapon real quick
Put me in the back seat, then they hit me with a stick
Now, I'm in the court room, cryin' as I sell the script
Till this reach the final verdict, sentenced to the electric chair
Thinkin' of all the stuff I did, 'cause I know I gotta go
Can't squeeze in a wink of sleep, 'cause I'm on that death row

[Verse 2]
Suicide or execution, death, that's what change the soul
I'm the tenth victim with the murder blues on death row
Nothin' but to pray to survive, I guess this is my destiny
Guilty as I'm charged, and the battle, it ain't helpin' me
Pain is in my achin' heart, and tears is what I wanna cry
Played a deadly game, destination always do or die
Shoot 'em up was how I played it, do or die a different game
Lookin' at my jail cell while with Jesus in a picture frame
Shackled from my neck to my ankle, eatin' my last meal
Hands around my jail cell, guessin' that I die well
Get to take a breath, 'cause see, you know it just might be my last
Death date is comin' quick, pulse is constantly beatin' fast
Nervous, so they see me gettin' loud up in the [?]
But, damn, my nigga, what can I say
Death row is just my last request

[Verse 3]
Sittin' in my jail cell, death day is comin' quick
Thinkin' of all my death visions, 'cause I get to chew my bit
Time is clockin' fast, as I'm sittin' in my jail cell
Wonderin' to myself if there really is a Heaven or Hell
Now, I'm on my knees, with the Bible for today's lesson
Prayin' to the one and only, givin' him my last confession
Just before the switch is pulled, tears went down my mama's face
Now, I'm just a gone G, hopin' there's another place

[Outro]
Death row, death row, death row, death row
Death row, death row, death row, death row
