Life in Bondage

[Intro]
Murder was the only way that everybody stayed in line. You got out of line; you got whacked. Everybody knew the rules

[Verse 1: Koopsta Knicca]
My mind is not unwilling, I'm day dreamin' out the window
Say stepfather please don't hurt my mother, torture, murder
I heard about this story of this lady's burnin' bed
Oh Lord I'm just a kid inside my head, I meditate myself
Won't you come on in, let 'em die tonight
Tonight I know it don't sound right
But see Crown is bout make it fine
And man why? AlI because he wanted that whole life
And that's not nice when his mother was (?)
Stayin' in our two bedroom house, so many blues
State 5-0 forces crew there too, they goin to get my favorite shoes
Cool? Nawl when my oldest brother sports my drawls
Cracks in the walls when we walk the family picture falls
Now tell me what's gon' happen next? They say I'm stressed
Put tape across my chest is just a process of a lunatic
Caught up, wait up, hold up, I'm tired of runnin'
Nigga I'm young, man something's wrong
My life in bondage got me wonderin'

[Hook]
Come on in, let me take you on a ride
Raise up my head and say please take me from this darkness
Come on in, let me take you on a ride
Raise up my head and say please take me from this darkness
Come on in, let me take you on a ride
Raise up my head and say please take me from this darkness
Come on in, let me take you on a ride
Raise up my head and say please take me from this darkness

[Verse 2: Koopsta Knicca]
M-zzz-e ain't no bi-zzz-tch please excuse me for my fre-ench
But some wrong with this picture's gettin' thick, it's gettin' smeary
I'm hearin' stepdad creepin' by the fire, she didn't mean it
But what about her kids, see we saw as he was seein' Jesus
Come in, come in, come in, won't you give me a test
Oh Lord you got me paranoid so now I'm wonderin'-in'
To call the fed-eds
There goes another nigga beside the head
Reminiscin' on a play that he said
Now my mom finna go to the med yeah
Sweatin' by the minute, by the sec-sec-sec, I'm sw-sw-sweatin'
Now that she's in critical condition, things gettin' he-e-e-ectic
Protect my mom, please prote-te-tect my mo-o-o-other
Cause Koop don't wanna go and live in the g-g-gutter
My little sister, little brother, so little do they know
Look, how I'ma tell 'em that their love is never comin' home?
Come along, lettin ya know what's wrong with us
Mother walk right through the door-ah
The Koopsta could die

[Hook]
Come on in, let me take you on a ride
Raise up my head and say please take me from this darkness
Come on in, let me take you on a ride
Raise up my head and say please take me from this darkness
Come on in, let me take you on a ride
Raise up my head and say please take me from this darkness
Come on in, let me take you on a ride
Raise up my head and say please take me from this darkness

[Outro: "Land of da Lost" sample]
Red, red, go away, Koopsta Knicca wanna play
