It's a ghetto fairytale

(yeah yeah yeah)



It was two weeks before my son's birthday

D.T's ringing my bell (Ma'am we need to ask a few questions)

They told me the raid would go down anyday

And if I was smart I wouldn't tell (no no)

It was all over him yaw'll

My boyfriend the criminal

He was caught up in the game

And the FBI warned if I didn't go along

They'd make sure I never saw my son or my boyfriend again



(Remember this, you are a convicted fellon on probation)

But how could I just turn him in?

(Ma'am if you don't help us, you'll never see your son again. Trust me)

He would always tell me



I know your afraid

But you can't leave me now

Lean on my shoulder

Soon it'll be over

I'm trying to build our future

I'm doing this for us

Your the only one I love

The only one I trust



I'd been with him for about 4 years and I swear

He gave me anything I could dream (anything)

But the life that he lived was a nightmare I swear

Wasn't clean he was blinded by the cream

All the murderous capers, the trips to Las Vegas

Making millions from paper blood-stained (nasty money)

Stuck in my head like a song, I saw every sin I knew every wrong

And if I don't go along, I'd never see my family again



(no no no)

(hmmm)

(So whats it gonna be?)

(hey hey hey)

(I know my rights)

(One phone call from me and your son's going to a foster home.)

(Whatever)

(Answer the question)

(I don't have to answer shit)

He would always tell me (tell me yeah)



I know your afraid

But you can't leave me now

Lean on my shoulder

Soon it'll be over (soon it'll be over)

I'm trying to build our future

I'm doing this for us

Your the only one I love

The only one I trust



It was Saturday evening, we were home watching TV

He looked in my eyes I wanted to cry (oh)

My son ran to hug him, he kissed him goodnight

How could I do this, could I do this? When I knew he would die

FED's rushed the door, yelled 'everyone on the floor'

My man pulled his gun and started to fire

He was a soldier of cause in a war he couldn't win

But without him I'm lost

So I stood by his side and went down with him



Oh

No no no no

No no no nooo

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Oh

Oooooh

He would always tell me



I know your afraid

But you can't leave me now

Lean on my shoulder

Soon it'll be over

I'm trying to build our future

I'm doing this for us

Your the only one I love

The only one I trust



I know your afraid

But you can't leave me now

Lean on my shoulder

Soon it'll be over

I'm trying to build our future

I'm doing this for us

Your the only one I love

The only one I trust



I'm sorry...

I'm so sorry
