hey, the price of fame cost to much

they so judgemental man but they dont understand

you wouldnt need weaponry jus because of ya felony's

consider this at least i got errybody sweating me

on the streets theres people who wont rest unless i rest in peace

killed my folk a year ago still in my sleep they threatin me

peranoid ya stressin me aint nobody protecting me

im dealing wit the pressure from my partner dieing next to me

niggas know i was arrested they coming for me eventually

this was all the things that i was goin thru mentally

this could be the reason i ignore the penitionary

not mentioning new orlean niggas comin in the city

killin all summer long aint nobody pay attention

now is it that hard to understand if you listen

either die or go to jail thats a hell of decision

but im wrong and i know it my excuses unimportant

im just tryna let you know that i aint think i had a choice, fereal

i had straps in my ride gotta go to prison

you waitin on me to die you gone be waiting for a minute

ima man i aint perfect i admit it im guilty

but understand feel me i was riding filthy

500,000 erry year spent on security

my future was bright but now its gettin blury

cuz niggas in a hurry to find me and bury me

but surely God'll deliver me up out it

ima fighter till the heart i'll foreva be about it

ima father to my sons as it to my community

look all that i done my good out weigh the negativity

ey mentally i was focused on that littin history reapet itself

through all the publicity was anyone considerate

my position and the logic hidden my decision

but they caught me wit em now im off to prison, PERIOD

but is it that hard to understand if you listen

either die or go to jail thats a hell of decision

but im wrong and i know it my excuses unimportant
