I was born a discipline child, never knew how I got so wild (2x) When I used to go to school, they taught me the Golden Rule They said "Son you better know yourself, in time to come it's gonna be dread" I didn't heed this advice, now I got to pay the price (2x) Now I'm on death row, only one place to go (2x) Oh Ma, I wish you were around, to see how they tracked me down (2x) They had me cornered in a little alley, a thousand shotguns over me I didn't stand a chance, I didn't want to die, I had to reach for the sky Now I'm on death row , only one place to go (2x)
