dead man walking

i don't remember my mama

dad sold crack all night. my life was fucked from the jumpstreet

now this kite i write. never had half a fuckin chance

my whole trial i was broke. circumstantial that's bullshit

my defense was a joke!

(you go in a motherfuckin courtroom

with a fuckin public defender - the public

defender works with the fuckin d.a.!

motherfuckers ain't got no chance

you

ain't got no money you're fucked

you're fucked!)

now this cell is my residence

my address is the row. 24 hour lock down

when they'll kill me who knows?

guilty - we the unfree!

dead men walking

guilty - we the unfree!

dead men walking

i'm a genius from books now

never read on the street. never lifted a fuckin weight

now my boys concrete. filed a hundred appeals or more

no response from the state. get no phone calls or visits

my mentality's hate!

(when i was on the street i had mother-

fuckin boys

where's my bitch? she won't

even accept my fuckin phone calls! yo

they better not let me up out this mother-

fucka

you this shit's on

fuck that word!)

i get visits from doctors

analyzing the ill. families pray for my death now

vengeance lays for the kill. (does the defendant have any final words

he would like to say to the court?

yeah

i got somethin i'd like to say. yo

you

judge

you a racist motherfucker. i

feel like bustin your motherfuckin.no

let

me go.i'm gonna kill everyone one of you

jurors. if i ever get out of here

i'm

comin one by one and blow your mother-

fuckin brains out. you motherfuckers!

no

keep your motherfuckin hands off!

fuck that!)

so i think 'bout my past now

my future holds only pain. involuntarily drugged by the state

for years

now i know i'm insane. when i'm moved shackled hands and feet

my skin's covered in ink. i read the bible 'bout twenty-five times

now fuck god's how i think!

(you can save all that religious bullshit

stay the fuck out of my cell. if that priest

comes in my cell

i'm a bust him in the -

i'll break your fuckin neck with my bare

hands

fuck that.)

so live your life to the fullest

but remember don't trip. one mistake you're my neighbor

and there's no one here rich!
