Death Row
2
That's where motherfuckers is endin' up
3
Dear mama, I'm caught up in this sickness
4
I robbed my adversaries but slipped and left a witness
5
Wonder if they'll catch me or will this nigga snitch
6
Should I shoot his bitch or make the nigga rich?
7
Don't wanna commit murder, but damn they got me trapped
8
Hawkin while I'm walkin', and talkin' behind my back
9
I'm kind of schizophrenic, I'm in this shit to win it
10
'Cause life's a Wheel of Fortune here's my chance to spin it
11
Got no time for cops, who trip and try to catch me
12
Too fuckin' trigger happy, to let them suckers snatch me
13
Niggaz gettin' jealous, tryin' to find my stash
14
Whip out the nine, now I'ma dive and pump your ass
15
Peter picked a pepper, but I can pick a punk
16
Snatched him like a bitch and threw him in the trunk
17
The punk thought I was bluffin', but swear I'm nothin' nice
18
Before I take your life, first wrestle with these, mics
19
I listen to him scream, Tray Deee went insane
20
I guess the little, mites had finally found his brain
21
New Rovers pull me over, I'm sentenced to the pen
22
Remember that little, bird, he snitched and told a, friend
23
It's trouble on my mind, I'm with the old timers
24
And fuck five-oh, blaow blaow, turn 'em into forty-niners
25
Bye bye, I was never meant to live
26
Can't be positive, when the ghetto's where you live
27
Bye bye, I was never meant to be
28
Livin' like a thief, runnin' through the streets
29
Bye bye, and I got no place to go
30
Where they find me? 16 on Death Row
31
Dear mama, these cops don't understand me
32
I turned to a life of crime, 'cause I came from a broken family
33
My uncle used to touch me, I never told you that
34
Scared what you might do, I couldn't hold you back
35
I kept it deep inside, I done let it fuel my anger
36
I'm down for all my homies, no mercy for a stranger
37
The brother in my cell, is 16 as well
38
It's hard to adapt, when you're black and you're trapped in a livin' Hell
39
I shouldn'ta let him catch me
40
Instead of livin' sad in jail I coulda died free and happy
41
And my cellmate's raped on the norm
42
And passed around the dorm, you can hear his asshole gettin' torn
43
They made me an animal
44
Can't sleep, instead of countin' sheep, niggaz countin' cannibals
45
And that's how it is in the pen
46
Turn old and cold, and your soul is your best friend
47
My mama prayed for me
48
Tell the Lord to make way for me, prepare any day for me
49
'Cause when they come for me they find a struggler
50
To the death I take the breath from your jugular
51
The trick is to never lose hope
52
I found my buddy hangin' dead from a rope, 16 on Death Row
53
Bye bye, I was never meant to live
54
Can't be positive, when the ghetto's where you live
55
Bye bye, I was never meant to be
56
Livin' like a thief, runnin' through the streets
57
Bye bye, and I got no place to go
58
Where you find me? 16 on Death Row
59
Dear mama, they sentenced me to death
60
Today's my final day, I'm countin' every breath
61
I'm bitter 'cause I'm dyin', so much I haven't seen
62
I know you never dreamed, your baby would be dead at 16
63
I got beef with a sick society that doesn't give a shit
64
And they too quick to say goodbye to me
65
They tell me the preacher's there for me
66
He's a crook with a book, that motherfucker never cared for me
67
He's only here to be sure
68
I don't drop a dime to God bout the crimes he's commitin'
69
On the poor, and how can these people judge me?
70
They ain't my peers and in all these years, they ain't never love me
71
I never got to be a man, must be part of some big plan
72
To keep a nigga in the state pen
73
And to my homies out buryin' motherfuckers
74
Steer clear of these Aryan motherfuckers
75
'Cause once they got you locked up
76
They got you trapped, you're better off gettin' shot up
77
I'm convinced self-defense is the way
78
Please, stay strapped, pack a gat every day
79
I wish I woulda known while I was out there
80
Now I'm straight headin' for the chair
81
Bye bye, I was never meant to live
82
Can't be positive, when the ghetto's where we live
83
Bye bye, I was never meant to be
84
Livin' like a thief, runnin' through the streets
85
Bye bye, and I got no place to go
86
Where you find me? 16 on Death Row
87
16 on Death Row
88
It's to all my partners in the penitentiaries
89
16 on Death Row
