作曲 : Plies/A. Martin/B. Tyson I went to see my ******, he doin' seventeen One of the realist ******s, 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 ******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 ******, second chance all he needs Some ******s make mistakes, all ****** up circumstance Now they life gone, probably gon' die in the pen They done gave on up life and put it in God's hands I thought this was America, what happened to a 2nd chance? Some ******s make mistakes, all ****** 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 ******s did Give them a life sentence fo' some ******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 ******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 ******t crazy 'cause God, he forgive sin But when it come to the system that ******t don't bend I guess it do, dependin' on the color of yo' skin Some ******s make mistakes, all ****** 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 ******s make mistakes, all ****** 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 ****** up, because it ain't sturdy Welcome to America, home of the controversy Some ******s make mistakes, all ****** up circumstance
