lil ruthless - the execution of charles campbell lyrics

[intro (k5news anchor barry judge)]
emotions run high tonight outside the prison walls. inside, triple murderer charles campbell is less than an hour away from execution and we have just learned that charles campbell is fighting to the end. he reportedly had to be pepper+maced by prison guards within the last hour and his appeals, now nearly exhausted

[verse 1]
i woke up in a cold sweat, laying in a jail cell
i’m sitting still but my mind is on a carousel
gave out my fate, in the hands of the man
i’m sitting in the can ’bout to get k!lled by thе klan
my knees is weak, man, i can’t even stand
thеy took me out my cell and cuffed my hands to my pants
now, i’m walking up the walk, facing death in the eyes
no lie, man, i ain’t f+cking ready to die
getting closer to the noose, [???]
i’m an innocent man but they don’t wanna hear the truth
they say they have proof from the holes in the roof
when they searched my f+cking crib, they found the gun in my suit
this is it for me, no more penitentiary
no more letters, no more guards, no more y’all for me
i still can’t get my mind to unscramble
you’re listening to the execution of charles campbell

[interlude (k5news anchors jean enersen & barry judge)]
his last hope for a stay of execution is the ninth circuit court of appeals. that court already turned campbell down once tonight, as did the u.s. supreme court
we have a series of live reports for you tonight on the campbell execution, where behind state penitentiary walls, charles campbell is scheduled to die. we’ll tell you about protests going on outside the prison. robert mack is live in olympia tonight for the latest on last+ditch efforts to spare charles campbell’s life

[verse 2]
i’m headed for the gallow, my soul feeling shallow
wish i could change my life around and walk the straight and narrow
but it’s too late, i’m headed for h+ll
looking strong on the outside, inside, screaming “help”
pain, nothing i can do, sitting in the i.m.u
i can’t talk out of this one, man, i’m stuck like glue
the grim reaper hollering, “boo”, sending chills up my spine
it’s an eerie+ass feeling when you know you ’bout to die
i’ma act a d+mn fool when i say my last words
and cuss the warden out before they put me in the dirt, yeah
still waiting on the governor’s call
but less than thirty seconds from taking a fall
god d+mn, it’s a shame how they doing me
looks like i’m f+cked, man, the system done ruined me
i’d’ve had my share of good times but i took the wrong gamble
now you’re listening to the execution of charles campbell
[outro (k5news reporter linda byron & department of corrections officer veltry johnson)]
after hours of waiting and days of preparation, authorities inside these prison walls say they are ready to hang charles campbell. media representatives who will witness the execution as well as family members and other witnesses are in a waiting room right now and the inmate himself is in a holding cell just behind the gallows. but it was not easy to get him there. in fact, authorities say they had a very difficult time transferring him off death row this afternoon
mr. campbell was unresponsive to a command to, uh, “cuff up” + that is, to back up to the cuff port in the intensive management unit cell that he occupied this afternoon and, uh, indeed we did, uh, administer, uh, pepper spray to him at which time, without incident, we were able to subdue him and cuff him and transport him from the intensive management unit to the holding ch+, uh, cell in the chamber
now, prison officials also say that after they removed charles campbell from his cell in the i.m.u., they found what they term “contraband” inside the cell, which reportedly may have contained some homemade knives. now, of course, campbell’s legal maneuvers have failed up to this point, but that could change at any minute
