[Lil Wayne]

I got popped in 94' them people caught me with some coke

But I pleaded as a user so the judge let me go

Now I'm back on the streets with six months of probation

Can't go out the state so I can't take no vacation

Got to watch my conversation cause them people a fool

Got to be in before 11 and I can't miss school

But I was talkin to that nigga sammy

Tryin to see how I'm a get these 20 bricks from miami

On a chip phone so I'm thinking they aint tracin mine

Two days later I'm in that place facing 99

But slim and baby bought a laywer for a half a mil'

And he kept fightin and he got me out appeal

My niggas real

So I know I got to play it light

I gotta watch what I do cause I'm on my second strike

But if I ever fall agian I'm history

So I'm a keep everything low so they cant get to me

3 strikes nigga



[Chorus]

3 strikes you out, 3 strikes you lose

3 strikes you fall, 3 strikes you catch the blues

3 strikes you out, 3 strikes you lose

3 strikes you fall, 3 strikes you catch the blues

3 strikes you out, 3 strikes you lose

3 strikes you fall, 3 strikes you catch the blues

3 strikes you out, 3 strikes you lose

3 strikes you fall, 3 strikes you catch the blues



[Turk]

Look

If they pop you nigga fo sho you goin ride

The judge aint playin they givin you 99

They dont giva fuck who you is they dont descriminate

Come up with a decision there it is closed case

Aint nothing you can do nigga you goin do that time

Take it like a man dont cry you done the crime

Seen a lot a niggas fall short like that

I done seen a lot a niggas run through cuts with a gat

I done seen a lot a niggas get they wig pushed back

I done seen a lot a niggas get busted for crack-
