Fugitive (Witness Protection Mix)

[Hook] If the phone don't ring and the line goes cold I really need you to know, you got to let it go! Just let it go! (Oh) They can lock me up 'til my faith grows old But they'll never take away my soul Unless I let it go, I won't let it go! (Oh) [Verse 1] I worked in this city for years Thought that I had persevered Snapped once and they labeled me a murderer I should have woke you up this morning Just to tell you that I love you But I didn't really feel like disturbing ya' I saw the city go from golden to Gotham Wholesome to rotten, rock bottom, south beach to Serbia Now they'll convict me with murder, ha? Carry up my so-called peers I can't believe the fucking nerve of ya' I've seen the gas price go ozone Fast life in slow loans We are burning down my lavish old folks home Now I'm choking on the bone that they've thrown Cause I can't chew the fat full of hormones and war songs I should've let loose from time to time Deep breath and low tones To beat the stress and bed it in my souls' home Instead I cracked up in cold sound Jail bars with no dope Praying to a god I'm sure I don't know [Hook] [Verse 2] Been on the road for seven whole months Haven't been back home once But I came really close to doing it Half a year when I've been running Hiding out from cops, do nothing It's like living your life as a fugitive Kept to myself human contact, my new Ever since the day that I knew I had to fly coop I stuck to the plan like a million dollar man With a million dollar scam In my cold infringed hands, so Whittle away, whittle away, whittle away now Miles away from the sick and twisted playground I broke free and ran at speed to can break down The Jake through 88 towns Always a second lay clowns I think about that time passed and realize that I was gassed But couldn't see it until my life was being layed down The sunsets are lookin' strange How am I still getting changed Even when it's more tension that I pay now [Hook] [Verse 3] Been on the run about a year And I think I truly fear That somebody's always out to try and round me up Across the block from a station full of cops And somehow I know, my apology ain't gon' count for much I ran the motherfuckers round Twenty states in every town And I'mma bet they can't wait to beat me down in cuffs I'm calling you, so no matter what they do You'll know I turned myself in Willingly to serve a thousand months I know I murdered a man And in the after-life I'll burn in eternal revenge There ain't a thing them pigs can do to make me feel worse than you What I'm saying is, I know violated all you knew and If only I could go back, call myself to know that Life can be a cold cap But nothing worth murdering a man, not even nearly Now I say goodbye for ever, tell my son I love him dearly and If the phone don't ring and the line goes cold
