This is a ghetto fairytale
|
|
It was two weeks before my son's birthday
|
D.T's ringing my bell (Ma'am we need to ask a few questions)
|
They told me the Raid would go down anyday
|
If I was smart I wouldn't tell (no no)
|
It was all over him
|
My boyfriend the criminal
|
He was caught up in the game
|
And the FBI warned if I didn't go along
|
They'd make sure I never saw my son or my boyfriend again
|
|
(Remember this you are a convicted felon on probation)
|
But how could I just turn him in?
|
(Ma'am if you don't help us, you'll never see your son again. Trust me)
|
He would always tell me
|
|
I know your afraid
|
But you can't leave me now
|
Lean on my shoulder
|
Soon it'll be over
|
I'm trying to build our future
|
I'm doing this for us
|
Your the only one I love
|
The only one I trust
|
|
I'd been with him for about 4 years and I swear
|
He gave me anything I could dream (anything)
|
But the life that he lived was a nightmare I swear
|
Wasn't clean he was blinded by the green
|
All the murderous capers, the trips to Las Vegas
|
Making millions from papers blood stained (nasty money)
|
Stuck in my head like a song, I saw every sin I knew every wrong
|
And if I don't go along, I'd never see my family again
|
|
(no no no)
|
(hmmm)
|
(hey hey hey)
|
(So whats it gonna be?)
|
(I know my rights)
|
(One phone call from me and your son's going to a foster home.
|
Answer the question)
|
(I don't have to answer shit)
|
He would always tell me (tell me yeah)
|
|
I know your afraid
|
But you can't leave me now
|
Lean on my shoulder
|
Soon it'll be over (soon it'll be over)
|
I'm trying to build our future
|
I'm doing this for us
|
Your the only one I love
|
The only one I trust
|
|
It was Saturday evening, we were home watching TV
|
He looked in my eyes I wanted to cry (oh)
|
My son ran to hug him, he kissed him goodnight
|
How could I do this, could I do this? When I knew he would die
|
FED's rushed the door, yelled 'everyone on the floor'
|
My man pulled his knife and started to fight
|
He was a soldier of cause in a war he couldn't win
|
But without him I'm lost
|
So I stood by his side and went down with him
|
|
Oh
|
No no no no
|
No no no nooo
|
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
|
Oh
|
Oooooh
|
He would always tell me
|
|
I know your afraid
|
But you can't leave me now
|
Lean on my shoulder
|
Soon it'll be over
|
I'm trying to build our future
|
I'm doing this for us
|
Your the only one I love
|
The only one I trust
|
I know your afraid
|
But you can't leave me now
|
Lean on my shoulder
|
Soon it'll be over
|
I'm trying to build our future
|
I'm doing this for us
|
Your the only one I love
|
The only one I trust
|
|
I'm sorry...
|
I'm so sorry...
