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
