Trouble - Free (Interlude) lyrics

[Intro] I'm free, I'm free [Verse 1] Oh man not again, I lost another one of my friends They say [?] back in the pen, was I trying to make some dividends He got a family to take care of, so I understand he was eager Just wishin' I had a better position to hold down my people That reefer I been dying to hit, had to quit in April f**ed around and failed the piss test, knowin' that I'm still on papers Got five years left Mama cryin' as I tell her over the phone Thinkin' that I'm finna get sent back to prison and she gon' be all alone Now it's this that God sent me, that message it was a blessing Could've spared me, just put me in cla**es, lookin' out for my a** And they police who I been hatin' for my whole life, I know right They told me it was my destiny to get the whole mob right Now, hate is what I tell 'em, but I still be on the bullsh** in time Spendin' my time in clubs, f**in' dimes trying to shine I dropped "Bussin'", n***as knew what it was before I did it But admittin' on some trill sh**, life kinda blinded me, wasn't no findin me I wasn't hittin' the studio, even thinkin', just drinkin' Shootin' pool with the dudes, I called school for rules that I'd be livin' by It's your balls, it's your word If you can't hold 'em, put your brains on the curb And I told Ricky I would hold him down, and Black the same thing So since I been slackin', wonderin' if I should let my brains hang low It's what I tell myself, just get your sh** together [?] told me if I knew better, then I'd do better I wrote out my whole crew letters Let 'em know I love 'em in a text message expressin' my pain Saying that I would k** the game And I'mma stay the same though, that ain't a question Just like it ain't a question about the dudes I named in questions 431 days free, I'm givin' you all of me n***as count up the time they did in the pen but not free on the streets Last time I seen Bigga Rankin, dog, I was on the run In a 650 with a semi-gun And a stash b**h, you don't want none Edgewood where I come from, 10 million dollar lickin' on 8 What I can't get cause I f**ed around and got spent But I took mine when I did time, came home even stronger (stronger!) DTE for life and after we don't breed characters [Outro] Yeah, Yeah DTE for life and after we don't breed characters Yeah, Yay DTE for life and after we don't breed characters May God bless the tape (the tape, the tape)
