I can't find the body who's cashing my checks I can't breath cause the bills are up to my neck Who knows if I'll survive what comes next Your fingerprints are all over this mess This war's a racquet and I'm in the field You said I'd be safe up under your shield Your right hand shook my hand into the deal While the left hand planned how to steal it Ooo--say your last words and last goodbyes Ooo--I'm laying down what's yours and what's mine I'm done dodging your gun I'm taking myself out from under your thumb I know the bullet is coming my way Thinking I'm blind but it's the Last time I pay you that hush money You sell the cure to the cold you gave me Started my trouble now you offer to save me Just enough terror to keep me afraid while You're downtown telling people you made me Cinderblocks are bound to my feet If i doubt once that you control the street Tell me you're here to help me succeed Imma cut ties and not let you bleed me I walked the fine line too long Speak my mind before it's gone Yeah my life isn't yours to own
