1. two thousand one, was my release.
fresh out of the pen,
now iââ'¬â"¢m back on the street,
got a new mindset,
and a brand new plan,
gettinââ'¬â"¢ back on my feet,
keep away from the man;
2. on parole no time for play,
givinââ'¬â"¢ up the fast life,
gonna start a new day,
they gave me a number,
took away my name,
gotta do things right,
and gotta play the game;
bridge
then a change came charging in, (charging in)
cause itââ'¬â"¢s a cruel cruel world, (cruel world)
some times itââ'¬â"¢s even hard, to trust your own little girl,
(i canââ'¬â"¢t catch a break no)
but you gotta stay strong my brother,
'tilââ'¬â"¢ the very end (very end)
cause your truth, and your honor,
you got to defend, i canââ'¬â"¢t get a break,
(i canââ'¬â"¢t catch a break, canââ'¬â"¢t get a break) x 2;
3. two thousand and four,
i got set up at my front door,
ooh ainââ'¬â"¢t it a shame,
the way the man plays the game,
i got a brand new number,
with a brand new deal,
hard to believe,
but the story is so real;
4. now iââ'¬â"¢m in a program,
gotta see the man once a month,
dressed up in a monkey suit,
lookinââ'¬â"¢ like a dummy, in a store front,
5. two thousand and five,
to two double o six,
had to pick up my life,
and get back in the mix;
go to bridge solo
then a change came charging in, (charging in)
cause itââ'¬â"¢s a cruel cruel world, (cruel world)
some times itââ'¬â"¢s even hard, to trust your own little girl,
(i canââ'¬â"¢t catch a break no)
but you gotta stay strong my brother,
'tilââ'¬â"¢ the very end (very end)
cause in order to survive,
you canââ'¬â"¢t never give in,
(i canââ'¬â"¢t catch a break, canââ'¬â"¢t get a break)
(i canââ'¬â"¢t catch a break, canââ'¬â"¢t get a break)
