Come on, dawg, y'all stay trying to keep a nigga broke You just as crooked as us, fuck you tryna say? 'Cause once I pay that dough, the charges go away Forget about it, it's okay 'Cause I'ma walk over here and let the Lord pave my way, aight [Verse 4: Mark Morrison] Change the life (That I) that I live (Got me) Living fine (Living) negative (Need to) Leave the game, game (that is) destroying me (So I) Pray to God (That He) has mercy [Outro] On an innocent man On an innocent man On an innocent man On an innocent man On an innocent man On an innocent man On an innocent man On an innocent man On an innocent man On an innocent man
