County Blues

[Murs] Hey mom.. They got me down at the substation And this punk ass C.O right here is testing my patience Naw mama don't cry, cause it's not that serious I'm drunk and I'm tired and I'm a little bit delerious But other than that, I'm gonna be O.K It's just a misdemeanor running overnight stay Anyway I had to call cause you're the only person I can count on Not to ? to make sure I don't get caught up ? out the County Jail Nah I don't need bail. I'll be out tomorrow morning That's if when they run my name they don't come up with no warrants Nah, ain't do nothing. But you know how they do They could make something, if they really wanted to So... What I need from you is to be at the Inglewood court about two That's when the judge will hear my case It'll really do me good to, you know, see your face But since I don't have a whole lot of time to waste Let me apologize for being a disgrace Next for the stress and calling you so late Please know this is a call that I never wished to make I tried to avoid it All throughtout my youth I did my dirt smart That way I stayed aloof to the system and its prisons Always made the right decisions You know, weed not crack, Krylon not gats. It was that type of logic That kept me out the trap, I could of just snapped Like the rest that went crazy but that's not in my nature And not how you raised me. I felt I owed you better Than a couple Saturday visits, some jailhouse flicks and some poorly written letters Plus we had a little cheddar that you worked so hard for Why would I risk it all for just to act hardcore That's why you won't believe why they threw in me in the car for Not for drunk driving. Fighting or no drug sit Mom they locked me in the jail cell for pissing in public [Hook: Repeat 6x] Mamma put your house up, So I can bounce up Out this motherfucker, that's why I love ya I love ya
