Free (Interlude) lyrics

[Intro]
I'm free, I'm free

[Verse 1]
Oh man not again, I lost another one of my friends
They say [?] back in the pen, was I trying to make some dividends
He got a family to take care of, so I understand he was eager
Just wishin' I had a better position to hold down my people
That reefer I been dying to hit, had to quit in April
f*cked around and failed the p*ss test, knowin' that I'm still on papers
Got five years left Mama cryin' as I tell her over the phone
Thinkin' that I'm finna get sent back to prison and she gon' be all alone
Now it's this that God sent me, that message it was a blessing
Could've spared me, just put me in classes, lookin' out for my ass
And they police who I been hatin' for my whole life, I know right
They told me it was my destiny to get the whole mob right
Now, hate is what I tell 'em, but I still be on the bullsh*t in time
Spendin' my time in clubs, f*ckin' dimes trying to shine
I dropped "Bussin'", n*ggas knew what it was before I did it
But admittin' on some trill sh*t, life kinda blinded me, wasn't no findin me
I wasn't hittin' the studio, even thinkin', just drinkin'
Shootin' pool with the dudes, I called school for rules that I'd be livin' by
It's your balls, it's your word
If you can't hold 'em, put your brains on the curb
And I told Ricky I would hold him down, and Black the same thing
So since I been slackin', wonderin' if I should let my brains hang low
It's what I tell myself, just get your sh*t together
[?] told me if I knew better, then I'd do better
I wrote out my whole crew letters
Let 'em know I love 'em in a text message expressin' my pain
Saying that I would kill the game
And I'mma stay the same though, that ain't a question
Just like it ain't a question about the dudes I named in questions
431 days free, I'm givin' you all of me
n*ggas count up the time they did in the pen but not free on the streets
Last time I seen Bigga Rankin, dog, I was on the run
In a 650 with a semi-gun
And a stash b*tch, you don't want none
Edgewood where I come from, 10 million dollar lickin' on 8
What I can't get cause I f*cked around and got spent
But I took mine when I did time, came home even stronger (stronger!)
DTE for life and after we don't breed characters
[Outro]
Yeah, Yeah
DTE for life and after we don't breed characters
Yeah, Yay
DTE for life and after we don't breed characters
May God bless the tape (the tape, the tape)
