"First Degree" lyrics

Uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh

Sometimes you get burned, most times you get hurt
Some say eventually, one will work
Sometimes you're gonna fail, video was blackmail
Before I'm busted, I gotta bail

'Cause I like independence, no one else tells what to do
Never thought I'd get caught but then came you
Locked up, gon' do my time
Locked up (locked up) in the first degree
Locked up, gon' do my time
One look, one look in the first degree
Uh oh, you got me locked up
Uh oh, I'm locked up, locked up
Uh oh, you got me
One look, one look in the first degree

Sometimes as you're close to pain
Pay the price on judgment day
Ain't no way for me to escape
Most guys are protectable
Few are irresistible
The position you got me in is criminal

'Cause I like independence, no one else tells what to do
Never thought I'd get caught but then came you
Locked up, gon' do my time
Locked up (locked up) in the first degree
Locked up, gon' do my time
One look, one look in the first degree
Uh oh, you got me locked up
Uh oh, I'm locked up, locked up
Uh oh, you got me
One look, one look in the first degree

We're in this together
We're both going down (we're going down, down)
Sentence me to forever
'Cause only you can hold me
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Locked up, gon' do my time
Locked up (locked up) in the first degree
Locked up, gon' do my time
One look, one look in the first degree
Uh oh, you got me locked up
Uh oh, I'm locked up, locked up
Uh oh, you got me

One look, one look in the first degree
Uh oh, you got me
Uh oh, I'm locked up
Uh oh, you got me
Locked up, one look in the first degree
Uh oh, you got me
