A Prince Among Thieves

[T-Bone] "I tried to be there but you wouldn't let me in Before hustlin' we were friends!" [True/Sha] Damn what a price to pay Shows that torch you can't take away Now forever sleep is where your body lay Restin' in peace is what I hope and pray Shit, what I will tell your moms As she breakin' down in a brother's arms But she don't know the truth so I throw on the charms He started buggin' callin' in to work Captain of the fiends so they called him Kirk After he got caught he got real berserk Found out he was smokin' from who gave him work I wanted to be the first one to tell you that Yo son, I'd only sow but he used crack And this is somethin' that I can't believe Comin' from A Prince among Thieves! [T-Bone] "Sometimes I wondered but I didn't understand Just when you were trying to go, won you the bet I tried to be there but you wouldn't let me in Before hustlin' we were friends!" [True/Sha] I thought I would have been better if I'd just let'em be But he started showin' two faces one for you one for me I watched though change ?shit's so Mitchell what's re-strange? Leave on a train get dropped back off in a range A friendship takin a back seat to cocaine Lookin' at your mummy, yah two can feel your pain Yo son, my man, addicted to crack What in the world would have pushed him to do that A god fearin' boy as I had raised him Mummy don't blame yourself to you I give praise Raisin' two kids strugglin' all alone Takin' what life had to offer your head on He chose to the take to the life of a loser A cocaine seller, a cocaine user Reality's sometime hard to believe But who ever thought it would have happened to the Prince among Thieves! [T-Bone] "Sometimes I wondered but I didn't understand Just when you were trying to go, won you the bet I tried to be there but you wouldn't let me in Before hustlin' we were friends!" Wutcha wanna do son, how do you feel? Livin' in a life when everything is real Wutcha wanna do son? It was the deal Livin' in a life when everything is right Wutcha wanna do son, how do you feel? Livin' in a life when everything is real Wutcha wanna do son? It was the deal yo It was the deal yo It was the deal! [True/Sha] I never thought that losin' you would've left an empty space - in my heart When I pull the out it ain't goin' no waste And everytime I see your son I remember your face I'm locatin', muddin' my way, raisin' like he was mine I mean the joy he brings me kinda hard to define Knowin' how tight we was, how shit coulda been You was more like my brother but that fright me in And since you came now your song has someone to depend Aaw, so take this son and rest in peace I wish would have know how I felt for you was deceased Forgave a shit enough time to get released Everytime I hear "Prince" I'mma remember you "Among Thieves" what the fuck I put you through [T-Bone] (It's not my fault) "Sometimes I wondered but I didn't understand (It's not my fault) Just when you were trying to go, won you the bet (It's not my fault) I tried to be there but you wouldn't let me in (It's not my fault) Before hustlin' we were friends!"
