It's a ghetto fairytale   (yeah yeah yeah)      It was two weeks before my son's birthday   The D.T's ringing my bell (Ma'am we need to ask a few questions)   They told me the raid would go down anyday   And if I was smart I wouldn't tell (no no)   It was all over him your   My boyfriend the criminal   He was caught up in the game   And the FBI warned if I didn't go along   They'd make sure I never saw my son or my boyfriend again      (Remember this, you are a convicted felon on probation)   But how could I just turn him in?   (Ma'am if you don't help us, you'll never see your son again. Trust me)   He would always tell me      I know your afraid   But you can't leave me now   Lean on my shoulder   Soon it'll be over   I'm trying to build our future   I'm doing this for us   Your the only one I love   The only one I trust      I'd been with him for about 4 years and I swear   He gave me anything I could dream (anything)   But the life that he lived was a nightmare I swear   Wasn't clean he was blinded by the cream   All the murderous capers, the trips to Las Vegas   Making millions from paper blood-stained (blood-stain money)   Stuck in my head like a song, I saw every sin I knew every wrong   And if I don't go along, I'd never see my family again      no no no   hmmm   (So whats it gonna be?)   (hey hey hey)   (I know my rights)   (One phone call from me and your son's going to a foster home.)   (Whatever)   (Answer the question)   (I don't have to answer shit)   He would always tell me (tell me yeah)      I know your afraid   But you can't leave me now   Lean on my shoulder   Soon it'll be over (soon it'll be over)   I'm trying to build our future   I'm doing this for us   Your the only one I love   The only one I trust      It was Saturday evening, we were home watching TV   He looked in my eyes I wanted to cry (oh)   My son ran to hug him, he kissed him goodnight   How could I do this, blooding do this? When I knew he would die   FED's rushed the door, yelled 'everyone on the floor'   My man pulled his 9 and started to fire    He was a soldier of cause in a war he couldn't win   But without him I'm lost   So I stood by his side and went down with him      Oh   No no no no   No no no nooo   Yeah yeah yeah yeah   Oh   Oooooh   He would always tell me      I know your afraid   But you can't leave me now   Lean on my shoulder   Soon it'll be over   I'm trying to build our future   I'm doing this for us   Your the only one I love   The only one I trust      I know your afraid   But you can't leave me now   Lean on my shoulder   Soon it'll be over   I'm trying to build our future   I'm doing this for us   Your the only one I love   The only one I trust      I'm sorry...   I'm so sorry...
