lacey lace - do'in time lyrics
[chorus]
time, time, doing hard time, time
now was it worth the crime?
[verse 1: gigolo tony; lacey lace]
there is a message in this song
and if you listen up you can never go wrong
i’m not trying to tell you how to run your life
i’m just here to give you some good advice
on this information there is no price
what i really wanna say is live a honest life
because everything that good may not be gold
just listen to this story and the moral will be told
your homeboy [?]
[?] robbed and k!lled [?]
your heart’s beating fast, now you’re having a fit
and you’re wondering if the money will be a even split
but your friend, yo, the boy never came back
and here comes the cop [?]
so you stay real quiet, but the cop’s on fire
and where’s your friend now, i bet he’s left [?]
now where are you going, it’s plain to see
you’re going up to the pen to do t+i+m+e
[chorus]
time, time, doing hard time, time
now was it worth the crime?
time, time, doing hard time, time
now was it worth the crime?
[verse 2: gigolo tony; lacey lace]
take time out to read the news
how a young cool kid has been s+xually abused
police are k!lling the innocent
but the veredict of the jury is self+defence
you had a real good plan, that’s what you thought
so tell me how in the world did you get caught
you got frustrated when you lost your job
so you bought a gun and you started to rob
the news [?], drugs seized
as your family reads the news in disbelief
they begged you to quit but you did not stop
’til you tried to sell a gram to a undercover cop
you got [?] up and then locked up
now you’re sitting in the jail trying to watch your b+tt
you didn’t have time to think things out
now you’re sitting in jail, time’s all you got
your lady’s never home, says she’s with her friend
but little did you know that her friend’s a man
she never gives you love, all she wants is the cash
started looking like a tramp and talking real trash
your boy says that he sees her out on the street
she’s winking at the man and talking real cheap
you don’t believe, not a word that they say
so you come home early from work the next day
you walk in the house and what did you see?
somebody else in your bed messing with your lady
your wife was cheating and [?]
[?]
so you did the job now you got the keep
[?] jail [?] t+i+m+e
[chorus]
time, time, doing hard time, time
now was it worth the crime?
time, time, doing hard time, time
now was it worth the crime?
[verse 3: gigolo tony; lacey lace]
[?] come to that situation
they let you off easy on three months’ probation
but back on the streets, what do you do?
you start hanging around with the same crew
your mind tried to tell you it’s a big mistake
but you wanna go along for old times’ sake
you didn’t necessarily commit the crime
but you still got busted and doing time
you say “your honor, i did nothing wrong”
the judge says “son, why’d you go along?”
you say “i went for their ride just to see”
and that made you an accessory
now you’re sitting in jail with your face in your hands
crying like a little child and you call yourself a man
you make yourself bored by staring at the walls
you receive no letter and no phone calls
you got problems at work and problems at the house
your wife just left and now you feel like a louse
she left you with a kid who’s four years old
the kid is real wild, don’t do what he’s told
so you slap him around and you s+xually abuse him
you tell him not to tell because he knows that you’d lose him
he cries all night, he shivers with fright
he wishes he could hug his mama real tight
when he got a little older, he was going insane
[?] take the blame
so he told the cops and they came over to the house
[?] scared like a mouse
so he lied and said he didn’t want [?]
but they said it didn’t matter, now he’s paying the price
his son dropped the dime on his lowdown crime
and now, as you can see, he’s doing t+i+m+e
[chorus]
time, time, doing hard time, time
now was it worth the crime?
time, time, doing hard time, time
now was it worth the crime?
