Called his bluff and he died in vain

Hellfire is a mile that way

A cowboy wanna be john wayne

So 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 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 meal

And that's for real, I swear on god.
