Three Strikes

[Verse 1]
Well, they locked him up seventeen years for a crime
It all began when he did what he had to get by
All alone, all he had were his friends and the streets
A life of crime became all he'd ever need
Ever need

[Chorus]
Well, they say three strikes and you're out
It's you they care nothing about
When all you got is these four walls, they say
Three strikes and you're out

[Verse 2]
A kid growin' up stealing cars was a way to kill time
The deeper, he said, trouble he was sure to find
A forty-five in his hand, he's ready to settle the score
Shots rang out, he'll spend the rest of life behind bars
Behind bars

[Chorus]
Well, they say three strikes and you're out
It's you they care nothing about
When all you got is these four walls, they say
Three strikes and you're out

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Well, they say three strikes and you're out
It's you they care nothing about
When all you got is these four walls, they say
Three strikes and you're out
