18 to life
18 to life
the judge told me i could do 18 or i could do life and i chose life
so now i am serving 2 consecutive life sentences with no possibility for parole
but the judge was nice though and said that they can run concurrent so
there's no need for me to come back from the dead to fulfill my obligation
but there's no escaping the fact that i'm in this thing for life
a self-imposed life sentence until they witness the reading of my last will and testament
and observe that long silence of mournful rememberance
i'm in this thing until there's nothing left of me
til the death of me; until you 2 represent the best of me
see, i'm in this thing until me tongue starts cleaving
and my lungs stop breathing and my heart stops beating
and i finally understand the true meaning of sleeping
i'm in this thing until this world no longer exists
or at least until you can open your newpaper and in the obituarty section and read in big bold print that today marks the
passing of Tsion the Wordsmith
see, i'm in this thing for life
yeah man, i chose life when the prosecution only wanted to give me 18 years
figuring that after 6 i would grow scared, file an appeal, and get up out of there
and in her mind it was only fair because for 9 months
she only carried the burden of this case and i was just an innocent bystander
standing by her, yet somehow absorbing the brunt of the frontal
attack that was coming from our harshest critics who had sentenced us to failure
but for her that wasn't enough
because as i peaceful slept at night, she was constantly waking up
because her belly was to swole for her to find rest in any position
listening the critics who said i've seen this movie before and by the end of the theme music
that man will be missing; dismissing the fact that i had written
in blood that you plus me plus baby makes we
for all she wanted me to understand is that when we minus you, it will just leave this baby and me
believing that she could become a hermathadite
you know, both sexs; the providing father during the day and the nuturing mother at night
and she felt she was right so she revoked my rights to fatherhood
figuring she could do it all alone
not knowing that my devotion to our child would go so much deeper than child support
so i told the judge, your honor, give me life; i don't want 18 years
i refuse to allow 432 payments of support be the extent of the relationship between me and my kid
ah nah your honor, i'm in this thing for life
even if it means i got to forfeit my right to be able to walk away when things get messed up
i'm in this thing for life
i'm in it for every night he sits up crying wondering why mommy and daddy couldn't make it work
confused because his brother donte can see there daddy and he can't but he was the one who was born first
hurt because his own mother is the one keeping him from the man who loves him the most
and not sure of what's right or wrong but he knows that this ain't how things is suppose to go
5 years old but can understand the concept of forever plus eternity
n.b.; never broken-the bond that exist between him and me
so you see nicolas, i'm in this thing for life
and even when i'm gone imma beg God to let me come back twice
so i can right all of the wrongs that occurred the 1st 5 years of your life
may not have done everything right but for me, leaving was never an option
my sentence started with the opening of your mother's womb and will only end with the closing of my coffin
stopping short of nothing save air no longer running through my lungs
but even then i will look down from heaven until it's all said and done
son, i'm in this thing for life
cause the very second you were conceived in your mother's womb
was the same second i stopped living for me and started living for you
refusing to allow your mother's attempts to seperate us reach their level of manifestation
erasing my life's purpose and relpacing it with makes sure that you are one of the greatest men to walk the face of the planet
standing before God with myspace as a witness
that i know no rest until i fulfill my life sentence
so dry your eyes, we got a lifetime to make rememberances
cause i am just declaring with great conviction
that i am in this thing, i'm in this thing, i'm in this thing for life
