| Yeah
|
| I guess I just gotta chill for twenty years
|
| 'Til the judge say that it’s okay to come out
|
| I need an escape and a way to run out
|
| People say that they love you but you ain’t breakin' me out
|
| I’ll probably die up in this motherfucker, shit
|
| I’ve accepted that and now I’m findin' peace, uh
|
| Long nights I’ve been tryna sleep
|
| But I can’t, so let me write you this apology, this for your girl:
|
| Look, I’m sorry, mama
|
| I put a bullet in 'em, I took your heart from you
|
| I killed your man and now you’re forced to be apart from him
|
| You daughter walkin', who gon' catch her when she start runnin'?
|
| I was only nineteen, doing foolish things for colors
|
| Your tears in the courtroom, I can tell you loved him
|
| I thought I was being gangster when I took his life
|
| Now I can barely sleep through a night
|
| I get it now, fuck these colored dreams, shit
|
| I get it now, fuck these colored dreams
|
| Fuck these colored dreams
|
| Fuck these colored dreams, shit
|
| I guess I just gotta chill for twenty years
|
| Shit, might as well apologize for the rest
|
| And to my brother I claimed I love you more than the rest
|
| If I really loved you how come I guided you to your death?
|
| You was only twelve when I got locked up
|
| Pops shook, no role models so the block looks like the only option
|
| Should have made you put them Glocks down
|
| But instead I showed you how to get it poppin'
|
| And you took to it, nah you was never shook to it
|
| Even if trouble wasn’t around, you would look to it
|
| Throwin' up set, you let them know you wasn’t no bitch 'til you run into
|
| multiple crips
|
| You let them niggas know you’ll be down for your niggas
|
| Thinkin' in your head, «Big bro' will be proud of a nigga»
|
| I hate to have to be the way for you to go
|
| What’s even worse, I couldn’t make it to your funeral
|
| Fuck them colored dreams
|
| Shit, fuck these colored dreams
|
| Fuck them colored dreams
|
| Look, mama, I know I killed that man
|
| Still remember tremblin' when you felt my hand
|
| Don’t shed no tears mama, uh
|
| I know I won’t be home for years, mama
|
| I know you feel like a failure to all your peers, mama
|
| You been a blessing to me
|
| I been a curse since birth to you, made shit worse for you
|
| They let me out this second, I wouldn’t even search for ya
|
| Shit, it only make it harder
|
| You care so much that you would kill for me
|
| I get your letters and I wonder how you still love me
|
| You say you pray every night and you still feel for me
|
| Shit and if you could I know you probably would do this bit for me, shit
|
| So what’s it been the last time I speak to you
|
| I want you to know I love you with everything in me
|
| It’s insane to me, you share DNA with me
|
| We polar opposites
|
| I know I failed you mama, wish I could be your accomplishment
|
| So as I stand on this chair writing this letter
|
| Noose around my neck, the only way I do better is if I leave you now
|
| 'Cause you been beaten down from them other things
|
| I ain’t give you shit a mother brings, I get it now
|
| Fuck these-- |
