The hangman's the only one to really put faith in. I know he'll do is job and the rope won't break
Surrounded by my jury of 12 peers I raised with. But it's anonymous as to who said a ? should hang

Undisputed Truth, don't trust the smile on they faces
My enemies are black and tell the man how strong the case is
The white man didn't push it cause there wasn't no basis
Showed me the statement, said I should watch who my friends is

Now I'm paranoid and it's hard to sleep
A lesson learned, but for years they've been watching me
Losing friends as a victim. Vulnerable and weak
Offense my defense. So they're all threats to me

You ain't never been ? and let me tell you how
I done kept y'all ? secrets, y'all done ? up now
Blood's thicker but your fam will still shoot you in the face
Give these fools their oscars for the roles they played

Yo mama know my mama, yet you given up names
Can you look them in eye's while I'm in a cell blamed?
? you and that ? I gave my last name
I ? cried after telling the kids the whole truth, man

And I ain't even seen them ever since the "queen" changed
Now that'll be that last nerve. That'll be the last string

Feels like only yesterday I wasn't surrounded by my friends
Is there's a wall keeping me from you?
Was I expecting too much from you?
Was it something that we done you?
Does something bout me really scare you?
Did you even notice that around you the dreams we had really did come true?

Looking in my rear view my woes and worries get left behind.
Kin folks and friends. Loved ones I thought was down for life.
Destroying bonds that made me. Frees my heart from all they knives.
Cried help but answers caused more questions. Strip my mind of all they lies.

Experience can teach, but I feel I'm scarred for life from all these lessons.
A shame getting all you want but in the end no one to share with
