This is a ghetto fairytale

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 reign would go down anyday
If I was smart I wouldn t tell (no no)
It was all over him
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

But how could I just turn him in?
(Ma am if you don t help usyou 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 green
All the murderous capersthe trips to Las Vegas
Making millions from papers must say (nasty money)
Stuck in my head like a songI saw every sin I knew every wrong
And if I don t go alongI d never see my family again

(no no no)
(hmmm)
(hey hey hey)
(So whats it gonna be?)
(I know my rights)
(One phone call from me and your son s going to a foster home.
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 (sson 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 eveningwe were home watching TV
He looked in my eyes I wanted to cry (oh)
My son ran to hug himhe kissed him goodnight
How could I do thiscould I do this? When I knew he would die
FED s rushed the dooryelled everyone on the floor
My man pulled his knife and started to fight
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 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...
