Passenger of the Knight

[Hook] Caught me slipping one fateful night Now I'm laying on my back Caught me slipping one fateful night Now I'm laying on my back; It's too late Caught me slipping one fateful night Now I'm laying on my back Caught me slipping one fateful night Now I'm laying on my back Boy too hood for that [Verse] Mama, I killed a man; right now I'm miles away I know it's been days, but scared of what you'd say Plus they were getting close; the hunt is under way I saw them lights flash; I had to ándale I had to disappear; I hope you understand Just know I'm safe now; I'm in a foreign land Call Tameka, she got about a hundred grand All cash; look I know this ain't the life you planned But you were doing the best a young woman can When she got two young boys in the house making noise Playing cops and robbers; both want to be the robber And they concerned with a dollar; couldn't care less about toys Cause Legos won't stop this pain in my abdomen So I had to hit the Ave. with men That were twice my age; the bread they craved So they would sell anything to bring them baskets in And they were KD when the shots' off Next to green like AC when it popped off: cold I got a taste of control; and somewhere on this road I lost my soul Remember all those stories that you told About Jesus' return? Well, Mama, I don't think I ever learned See this is just the surface that we scratching When I tell you it happened if there is a Hell, I know I'm gon' burn And this forgiveness, I know I don't deserve But right now I'm reaching for any verses that I've heard And these scriptures that I've read, and these prayers that you said But all I keep seeing's me leaving that man dead On the side of the road with a hole in his head I hopped in the car and sped As if the same blood flowing through these veins In my frame ain't the same line as the blood that that man shed And I don't know what to do See that wasn't just a man, Mama You see that man came from you My mom's so ashamed If Clive was Abel, I guess that I'm Cain I caught him stealing from my stash The first time he got a pass I said, "Aye it's my brother birthed from the same mother I'mma put it in the past" Then he lied to my face Like it was all good I had to put him in his place Good bye, Mr. Hood [Hook] [Outro] They tell me that I can change; It's too late Boy too hood for that They tell me that I can change; It's too late I'm a lion untamed Caught me slipping one fateful night Now I'm laying on my back Homie, I'm Clive Lee Hood
