Called his bluff and he died in vain
Hellfire is a mile that way
A cowboy wanna be John Wayne
So a man ended up in an early grave
A mother should've never had
To bury her babe
Keep a loaded six-shooter on the
Side of my waist
'Cause the sky full of vultures
The grass full of snakes
And goin' out sad, I promise I can't
Ayy, folks turned law 'cause
They couldn't be gang
Was supposed to be brothers
Now you givin' out names
How the fuck you give a
Statement and feel no way?
How could you live with yourself
After seein' me hang?
And go ahead and run for the hills
You don't wanna know what we
Do to traitors 'round here
I will never live a life in chains
Waitin' for them to kick the
Chair from under my feet, oh
And I don't need a gun to do a drill
Bring a bottle of the strongest shit you got
We do the drill
Know some boys who work for nothin'
Just a bed and a meal
And that's for real, I swear on God
Had to grab the winnie
I ain't wanna be a stain
Know some people back home wanna
See me front page
And the opps, they be lyin'
Said they made it home safe
Hit the same lick twice
He ain't even get a break
Last year, I was broke, but now I'm okay
Got the roof pulled back and
The skies ain't gray
Got a call from my mama
Said she love her new place
And for once in my lifetime
Everything is straight
And go ahead and run for the hills
You don't wanna know what we
Do to traitors 'round here
I will never live a life in chains
Waitin' for them to kick the
Chair from under my feet, oh
And I don't need a gun to do a drill
Bring a bottle of the strongest shit you got
We do the drill
Know some boys who work for nothin'
Just a bed and a meal
And that's for real, I swear on God
