5th of Gin Lyrics by The Transitions

Back In Da Days

2001

Cop a bag of smoke and a 5th of gin
My P.O. is coming over to take me in
So can I get some love before I head upstate?
Blew my court date, caught a year and a day
Cop a bag of smoke and a 5th of gin
My P.O. is coming over, gotta turn myself in
Can we make love before I head upstate?
Blew my court date, caught a year and a day
It feels like I'm gonna cry 'cause my son will be born in July
But I won't be around 'cause they locked me down
Matched my fingerprints, that's my 3rd offense y'all
Your honor, Can I get a day to say goodbye?
I got bills I gotta pay. I can't put that on my wife
It's bad enough I gotta leave her (leave her)
Now all I wanna do is see her, yeah
Cop a bag of smoke and a 5th of gin
My P.O. is coming over to take me in
So can I get some love before I head upstate?
Blew my court date, caught a year and a day
Cop a bag of smoke and a 5th of gin
My P.O. is coming over, gotta turn myself in
Can we make love before I head upstate?
Blew my court date, caught a year and a day
All I do is sit and think about your love
I had it good, but I had to be a thug
Now I stare at the walls, make collect calls
Count the days 'til I'm free, they're so far, I can't see
Hey, Officer, did I get any mail?
Hey, Officer, can you let me out of jail?
Now I'm up in the hole 'bout to lose control
'Cause my baby's out there and in here it's so cold
Cop a bag of smoke and a 5th of gin (some Hennessy baby)
My P.O. is coming over to take me in (I ain't got much time)
So can I get some love before I head upstate?
Blew my court date, caught a year and a day (I'm so sorry baby)
Cop a bag of smoke and a 5th of gin
My P.O. is coming over, gotta turn myself in (gotta go gotta go)
Can we make love before I head upstate?
Blew my court date, caught a year and a day
You said that you'd wait for me, don't give my love away
I got time to do, can't be there for you
Send more pictures girl, come and visit me
You're so far away, need to see your face
Don't give up on me, come and change my life
When they let me go, I can make it right
Don't listen to your friends, they'll just steer you wrong
'Cause it won't be long, I'll be on my way back home
Cop a bag of smoke and a 5th of gin
My P.O. is coming over to take me in (yes he is)
So can I get some love before I head upstate? (can i can i can i)
Blew my court date, caught a year and a day
Cop a bag of smoke and a 5th of gin
My P.O. is coming over, gotta turn myself in (can we do it just one more time)
Can we make love before I head upstate?
Blew my court date, caught a year and a day (i gotta go bye bye)
Cop a bag of smoke and a 5th of gin
My P.O. is coming over to take me in
So can I get some love before I head upstate?
Blew my court date, caught a year and a day
Cop a bag of smoke and a 5th of gin
My P.O. is coming over, gotta turn myself in
Can we make love before I head upstate?
Blew my court date, caught a year and a day
