Quotable Lyrics

Stop recalling my thugs, enough is enough
Feds keep treating a roadman tough
Belmarsh trips in the circle brush
Yo jakes wanna scuff and they don’t conduct
How? I don’t wanna talk too tough
Bout the justice ting but the system’s f*cked
I remember the day in the court
I was hoping there’s ten on my side so I need that luck
