I told'em I
Had to go and look my T in her eyes
I just kept begging and begging her not to cry
I told her once that I just go and do my time we gon be alright
She asking why
I told her I was just a thief in the night
I just keep praying and hoping they realize
That these convictions im getting aint even right but it wont be televised
It's been some time
Since I done had a chance to free my mind
Go to the booth and I just close my eyes
All of the feelings I done left behind nomore sleepless nights
They told me grind remember days when I aint have not a dime
Na all these Benjamins hypothesizing my mind
I told my mama just sit back and watch me shine
I done reached my prime
Now I need you
To promise me that you won't leave my side
And promise me that you will always ride
Before I have to go and do my time
Let em hear my cry
