and you soon die
Money that you owe him,
C

He got the Johnny Cash gun,
he shot him in the penalty
just to watch him die
Am
And you the next in line
Y 'all so cool, y so crack, y so weak,
y so smack, y so decks, y so mad
C
Then you took the cash an d left,
Em

Am
But even Jesus Christ got crucified,
why?
Cause everybody got a snitch
and they click Judah
C
Saw the affidavits with your name on it, traitor
Em
I should've known that you
was wired up
the way that you was fired up
Am
When we count the cash
and bundled it up
Yeah, and when we hit the road
in the U -Haul truck
You told me you was on the phone
with your cousin Chuck
Em
Then later found out that it
wasn't your cousin
Am
You had me on a wiretap
This is a letter from the pen

C
So he gon' shoot you in your face
Em
He said he can't believe,
dude, when he went in
He trust you with his wife,

And you got his son calling you father
At night you creep up in his bed,
C

Em
And as I read this letter,
the next thing he said
Am
You a dead man walk amongst the dead
You dig, you dig
And then the coward replied,
what he said next
He said he wanna see you die,
Em
he wanna see you fry
He wanna see your body
Am
lying next to the flies
with your mouth on the wire from the pen,
I got a letter from the pen
Em
This is a letter from
the penitentiary homie,
and I was told that I should read it to you
Am
He said the prison breaks will come,
and you're soon done
Money that you want,
C

He shot him in the rear,
just to watch him die,
Am
and you the next sinner
Yeah, this one goes out for
them dudes that be creepin'
Sexin' other men's women while

They wanna claim the fame,
tell the street that they gangstas
Am
when they hit up with the synthas,
they turn to Cinderella
Yeah, and the letter concludes,
I'm comin' home in 210 211,
C
Mack 11 for revenge
Em
And make sure that you got
a good barber
Cause they do a shitty job
Am

Yeah, and I met some Muslim

They told me seek Allah,

But every time I get on my knees and I pray
