I went to see my ni**a he doin' seventeen
One of the realist niggas I done ever seen
Got caught wit' a bird but his record was clean
Comin' back from Dade on a Gator wit' speed
He a real soldier but his partner was greed
Get out when he forty went in at twenty three
How seventeen years worth one key
Some sh*t cost twenty grand he get you over ten piece
He ain't wanna hurt nobody he was just tryna eat
He had a real job went to work four days a week
Said this his last trip and he was gettin' out the streets
He a good ni**a second chance all he needs
Some niggas make mistakes all f**ked up circumstance
Now they life gone probably gon' die in the pen
They done gave up on life and put it in God's hands
I thought this was America what happened to a 2nd chance
Some niggas make mistakes all f**ked up circumstance
Now they life gone probably gon' die in the pen
They gave up on life and put it in God's hands
I thought this was America what happened to a 2nd chance
Wish I had one chance to sentence the judge kids
And watch 'em beg for they life like my niggas did
Give them a life sentence fo' some sh*t that wasn't big
'Fore they get granted they appeal they gotta do ten
Shoe gotta be on the other foot for you to understand
The scariest sh*t in the world to be a black man
What my future holds wish I knew in advance
I approach life everyday just hopin' I win
A lot us already lost we sittin' in the pen
This sh*t crazy 'cause God he forgive sin
But when it come to the system that sh*t don't bend
I guess it do dependin' on the color of yo' skin
Some niggas make mistakes all f**ked up circumstance
Now they life gone probably gon' die in the pen
They done gave up on life and put it in God's hands
I thought this was America what happened to a 2nd chance
Some niggas make mistakes all f**ked up circumstance
Now they life gone probably gon' die in the pen
They gave up on life and put it in God's hands
I thought this was America what happened to a 2nd chance
I thought it was understood nobody was perfect
So how can one mistake make yo' life worthless
God made us all put us here to serve a purpose
Your life in twelve stranger's hands to come back with a verdict
But is that really fair what if they all was dirty
You mess up one time and they come back with thirty
But if you ain't got money your whole family hurtin'
Then you ain't got a choice you gotta cop out early
But if you was rich you wouldn'ta got them thirty
What if the judge racist nobody'd overturn it
The system f**ked up because it ain't sturdy
Welcome to America home of the controversy
Some niggas make mistakes all f**ked up circumstance
Now they life gone probably gon' die in the pen
They done gave up on life and put it in God's hands
I thought this was America what happened to a 2nd chance
Some niggas make mistakes all f**ked up circumstance
Now they life gone probably gon' die in the pen
They gave up on life and put it in God's hands
I thought this was America what happened to a 2nd chance
