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
