Battering down sentence fighting against convictions[00:00:16]
2x[00:00:35]
I find myself growing in an environment[00:00:42]
Where finding food is just as hard as paying the rent[00:00:48]
In trodding these roads of trials and tribulations[00:00:54]
I've seen where some have died in desperation[00:01:01]
To keep battering down sentence fighting against convictions[00:01:06]
2x[00:01:27]
In a family of ten and raised in the ghetto[00:01:34]
Hustling is the only education I know[00:01:40]
Can't grow no crops in this concrete jungle[00:01:47]
A situation like this is getting too hard to handle[00:01:52]
To keep battering down sentence fighting against convictions[00:01:58]
2x[00:02:17]
With a pregnant woman yes[00:02:20]
And five kids to care for[00:02:29]
Can't cool my heels I've got to do the town[00:02:33]
As skillful as I am the jailer man is bound to find me[00:02:38]
I pray the day will come when I shall be free from[00:02:46]
Battering down sentence fighting against convictions[00:02:51]
2x[00:03:09]
To be trapped and caught and taken before judge and angry jury[00:03:16]
Pleading before men who seem to have no mercy[00:03:24]
Can't afford to find myself down in the dungeons[00:03:30]
I've got to stay free so that my kids won't be[00:03:37]
Battering down sentence fighting against convictions[00:03:43]
2x[00:04:02]
Now a fugitive at large[00:04:08]
Could this be my destiny[00:04:12]
With no one to care for the wellfare of my family[00:04:15]
But in solitude I've found new faith and hope in this I'll be secure[00:04:21]
For mind and soul would soon be weary[00:04:28]
Just couldn't take no more[00:04:32]
Battering down sentence fighting against convictions[00:04:44]
