[Intro: Reason & Journalist]
Yeah
Mama I just killed a man, body is still tremblin', can you feel my hands?
Don’t shed no tears mama
Look, I said, "Mama I just killed a man. Body is still tremblin', can you feel my hands?
Don't shed no tears mama
[Interlude: Journalist & Judge]
Man convicted in the shooting death of the Milwaukee teenager will be behind walls until he’s at least eighty years old
Police said: DeMario Denell Jackson shot into a crowd during a fight and killed a fourteen year old. Our Jonah Kaplan reports from court
The court on count 1 is going to impose a life sentence in the Wisconsin state prison system with eligibility to apply for extended supervision in 56 years
[Verse 1]
Yeah
I guess I just gotta chill for twenty years
'Til the judge say that it's okay to come out
I need an escape and a way to run out
People say that they love you but you ain't breakin' me out
I'll probably die up in this motherfucker, shit
I've accepted that and now I'm findin’ peace, uh
Long nights I’ve been tryna sleep
But I can't, so let me write you this apology, this for your girl:
Look, I’m sorry, mama
I put a bullet in 'em, I took your heart from you
I killed your man and now you're forced to be apart from him
You daughter walkin', who gon’ catch her when she start runnin'?
I was only nineteen, doing foolish things for colors
Your tears in the courtroom, I can tell you loved him
I thought I was being gangster when I took his life
Now I can barely sleep through a night
I get it now, fuck these colored dreams, shit
I get it now, fuck these colored dreams
Fuck these colored dreams
Fuck these colored dreams, shit
Yeah
