All I Know So Far - P!nk
Death row
That's where motherf***ers is endin up
Dear mama I'm caught up in this sickness
I robbed my adversaries but slipped and left a witness
Wonder if they'll catch me or will this n****snitch
Should I shoot his b****or make the n****rich
Don't wanna commit murder but d**n they got me trapped
Hawkin while I'm walkin and talkin behind my back
I'm kind of schizophrenic I'm in this s***to win it
Cause life's a wheel of fortune here's my chance to spin it
Got no time for cops who trip and try to catch me
Too f***in trigger happy to let them suckers snatch me
N****z gettin jealous
Jealous
Tryin to find my stash
Whip out the nine now I'ma dive and pump your a*s
Peter picked a pepper but I can pick a punk
Snatched him like a b****and threw him in the trunk
The punk thought I was bluffin but swear I'm nothin nice
Before I take your life first wrestle with these mics
I listen to him scream tray deee went insane
I guess the little mites had finally found his brain
New rovers pull me over I'm sentenced to the pen
Remember that little bird he snitched and told a friend
It's trouble on my mind I'm with the old timers
And f***five oh blaow blaow
Turn em into forty niners
Bye bye I was never meant to live
Can't be positive when the ghetto's where you live
Bye bye I was never meant to be
Livin like a thief runnin through the streets
Bye bye and I got no place to go
Where they find me 16 on death row
Dear mama these cops don't understand me
I turned to a life of crime cause I came from a broken family
My uncle used to touch me I never told you that
Scared what you might do I couldn't hold you
I kept it deep inside I done let it fuel my anger
I'm down for all my homies no mercy for a stranger
The brother in my cell is 16 as well
It's hard to adapt when you're black and you're trapped in a livin hell
I shouldn'ta let him catch me
Instead of livin sad in jail I coulda died free and happy
And my cellmate's raped on the norm
And passed around the dorm you can hear his a*shole gettin torn
They made me an animal
Can't sleep instead of countin sheep n****z countin cannibals
And that's how it is in the pen
Turn old and cold and your soul is your best friend
My mama prayed for me
Tell the lord to make way for me prepare any day for me
Why
Cause when they come for me they find a struggler
To the death I take the breath from your jugular
The trick is to never lose hope
I found my buddy hangin dead from a rope 16 on death row
Bye bye I was never meant to live
Can't be positive when the ghetto's where you live
Bye bye I was never meant to be
Livin like a thief runnin through the streets
Bye bye and I got no place to go
Where you find me 16 on death row
Dear mama they sentenced me to death
Today's my final day I'm countin every breath
I'm bitter cause I'm dyin so much I haven't seen
I know you never dreamed your baby would be dead at 16
I got beef with a sick society that doesn't give a s***
And they too quick to say goodbye to me
They tell me the preacher's there for me
He's a crook with a book that motherf***er never cared for me
He's only here to be sure
I don't drop a dime to god bout the crimes he's commitin
On the poor and how can these people judge me
They ain't my peers and in all these years they ain't
I never got to be a man must be part of some big plan
To keep a n****in the state pen
And to my homies out buryin motherf***ers
Steer clear of these aryan motherf***ers
Cause once they got you locked up
They got you trapped you're better off gettin shot up
I'm convinced self defense is the way
Please stay strapped pack a gat every day
I wish I woulda known while I was out there
Now I'm straight headin for the chair
Bye bye I was never meant to live
Can't be positive when the ghetto's where we live
Bye bye I was never meant to be
Livin like a thief runnin through the streets
Bye bye and I got no place to go
Where you find me 16 on death row
16 on death row
It's to all my partners in the penitentiaries
16 on death row
