Lyrics
love story
Verse One...
I send love to all them cats who aint living well,
writing letters to their loved ones from a prison cell.
Righteous but still carry icepicks,
know the odds, turn your back you might die,
it's a living hell.
Thinking back on your days on the run,
shootouts to survive,
you find yourself praising your gun.
See your regrets.
The same ones you turned your back on,
in the end, are the only ones you got left.
Friends forget quick.
Ask yourself who's your true people?
When your lady is the only one that still comes to see you.
Palms on the glass.
She cries, when she speaks your name.
In the library,
trying to feed your brain.
Prays on parole day,
hoping the board can see your pain.
You got kids and breathe for them, til the day your free again.
Since you're not around the seeds are blaming you.
Reminded everyday since they walk the street, with same face as you.
Verse Two...
I send love to the ladies who stick by their man's side,
stubborn men, Got too much damn pride.
Kiss her cheek, give her a few ones,
She only 19 and just gave birth to a new son.
She wants him home,
he can't leave this life alone.
The baby keeps her up all night.
She worries if her man is all right.
Her family tells her to leave him.
But she loves him, she needs him.
He feels the same about her, they don't believe him.
And now he's locked up, carving her name in the wall.
The family, not prepared for taking that fall.
She's working part-time no benefits. Government healthcare.
Section 8 housing, Access card, she eats through welfare.
Showing up to every court date, the love is still there.
tears in the court room,
Through all the shit she still cares.
Palms on the glass. Two seperate hells they're living in.
She always voweled to stay loyal to him through thick and thin...
