"Free The Guys" lyrics
Tellin' stories like this sometimes make cry
I started goin' on jail visits at maybe 5
My uncles were bank robbers in '85
And Slim ran numbers 'til he was 85
Lele went in when I was maybe 9
And Derren caught that body round '89
Gillette razors couldn't shave his time
That lawyer that he paid for was a waste of time
Crazy times growin' up
Yeah, Big was right about the dead bodies showin' up
But left the part out when homicide be showin' up
It sends chills down your spine when they rollin' up
You see bullpen's one thing, Rikers is another
Runnin' from the blue and whites and the undercover
Fightin' for your life right before the judges
I can't wait 'til we sayin' "welcome home, beloved"
Free the guys
Free the guys
Only thing left to say is "free the guys"
Free the guys
Free the guys
Only thing left to say is "free the guys"
Free the guys
Free the guys
Tellin' stories like this sometimes break my heart
Mookie got picked up by [?] park
They threw the book at him for his first case
But he was innocent, shouldn't have been there in the first place
Mikey came home from doing 25
Lorrie took it to trial but got 85
Wiz got moved around as much as Korey Wise
It was a full-circle moment when I learned he died
Probably been like 60 if he made it home
Heard them rollin' 60s tried to take the phone
And those COs don't be feelin' when you in your zone
Try you in the shower when you all alone
See bullpen's one thing, right, 'cause there's another
Writtin' letters to your mother, saying that you love her
Hopefully you be home by next summer
It hurts inside, we never got to say "goodbye, beloved"
Free the guys
Free the guys
Only thing left to say is "free the guys"
Free the guys
Free the guys
Only thing left to say is "free the guys"
Free the guys
I started goin' on jail visits at maybe 5
My uncles were bank robbers in '85
And Slim ran numbers 'til he was 85
Lele went in when I was maybe 9
And Derren caught that body round '89
Gillette razors couldn't shave his time
That lawyer that he paid for was a waste of time
Crazy times growin' up
Yeah, Big was right about the dead bodies showin' up
But left the part out when homicide be showin' up
It sends chills down your spine when they rollin' up
You see bullpen's one thing, Rikers is another
Runnin' from the blue and whites and the undercover
Fightin' for your life right before the judges
I can't wait 'til we sayin' "welcome home, beloved"
Free the guys
Free the guys
Only thing left to say is "free the guys"
Free the guys
Free the guys
Only thing left to say is "free the guys"
Free the guys
Free the guys
