Drag my ass to court, always coming short, the crime was never too severe. Serve time or do probation, its gonna take some patience till I can crack another beer.
Tried to punch a cop, but he hit me with his club before.. Woke up in a cell and I hate the way my jail
mate snores…( and were up by 4)
Waited many weeks, just to make a phone call home. No luck picking up, now my only chance is blown, and I can hear the tone..
Chorus:
Didn’t know it was the cop that lived down the block from me.. Saw him at the store.. Don’t ask where I’m supposed to be.. I yelled I’m no felon, Im rebelling yeahhhh… And why come clean if you’re not gonna judge me fair. Sure I’ve made mistakes, I’m gonna have to face, but if crime is time.. Time.. I hope I didn’t cross the line.
Cuffs were on so tight, Id finally lost the fight, I asked if he could scratch my itch… He said.. Why don’t you help yourself and look for someone else in the penitentiary…
Didn’t care at first because I knew my friends would all be there.. Now I’ve been set loose and everyone is acting scared.. Oh why me.. Scared?
No one came to jail, to keep me company.. No one posted bail, I served my time I’m freee..

Break Down
Said freeze, put your hands up, found I a nick on my sock.. Tough luck! Rammed my head in the hood.. real good.. Never read my rights, you fuckin rook! I was charged with assault, in self-defense, but to them it don’t mean shit.. Didn’t know what to do.. With my own attitude… Have no money to sue.. or a witness that’s true..
No they don’t want me back, no no no, no they don’t want me back.. no wayyy

Fine.. but don’t come to me cus I won’t sign.
