Yo, yo...one time, one time...one time, yo...yo, yo

One time when I come, two times when I'm done

Old truck like Sanford and Son
Next week can't recognize
On chrome so pretty to the naked eyes

That's me, on the road again
This 8 by 10 is closing in
In the hood I had it all

And a cold mother$#&@er with a basketball
Now I play with prisoners
And don't nobody trip with us

Some in Garza, some in Dominguez
Cops ask, "No speaky English"
And the holidays are the hardest

Gotta stay headstrong, regardless
And you are gonna have your days
In the place where killas have to pray

In the place where killas have to pray
In the place where killas have to pray


CHORUS (Carolyn):
He is the last chair violinist
The one who brings hope

To those who are the last chair violinist
Whose pain no one knows


I seen the pain in the eyes of lonely men
When can we ever be whole again?
Without Gina and my kids

A ^!$$% just don't really wanna live
But I gotta stay free in my mind
Eventually hearts freeze doing time

No love, just respect
Steel shank touch his neck
Pick up another casualty

Put him in the fridge call his family
And his mom had a dream
All this would be happenin

Trafficking to the rapping king
Everything's unraveling
Invest in me, it's destiny

I'll still wreck from the penitentiary
I'll still wreck from the penitentiary
I'll still wreck from the penitentiary


CHORUS


Two hits inhale, homie hold your breath
This is all the indo that's left
Watch man, don't let 'em see

Keep your eyes on the enemy
He did 20 on 70
Last game that he played was centipede

In the world, everything changed
Look around, things seem strange
All the kids in gangs n %#@!

Lil young mother$#&@ers living dangerous
Claimin this and chunkin that
Making more moves than a runninback

Up in prison, he was Christian
Got no job and his wife is (*##$ing
So he back on the streets again

8 months later back in the pen
8 months later back in the pen
8 months later back in the pen


CHORUS
