It`s a ghetto fairytale
Hey yeah yeah yeah

It was two weeks before my son`s birthday
DT`s ringing my bell
(Ma`am we need to ask a few questions)
They told me the raid would go down any day
If I was smart I wouldn`t tell
(No no)
It was all over him, you`re 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 you`re afraid
But you can`t leave me now
Lean on my shoulder
Soon it`ll be over
I`m tryin` to build our future
I`m doin` this for us
You`re 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 cases, the trips to Las Vegas
Makin` millions from papers blood stained
(Nasty money)
Stuck in my head like a song, saw every sin I knew every wrong
And if I don`t go along, I`d never see my family again

No no no
(Hmm)
Hey hey hey
(So what`s it gonna be?)
(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 s**t
He would also tell me
(Tell me yeah)

I know you`re afraid
But you can`t leave me now
Lean on my shoulder
Soon it`ll be over
(Soon it`ll be over)
I`m tryin` to build our future
I`m doin` this for us
You`re the only one I love
The only one I trust

It was Saturday evenin`, 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, could I do this when I knew he would die?
Fed`s rushed the door, yelled everyone on the floor`
My man pulled his nine and started to fight
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

Help
No no no no
No no no no
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Help
Ohh
He would always tell me

I know you`re afraid
But you can`t leave me now
Lean on my shoulder
Soon it`ll be over
I`m tryin` to build our future
I`m doin` this for us
You`re the only one I love
The only one I trust

I know you`re afraid
But you can`t leave me now
Lean on my shoulder
Soon it`ll be over
I`m tryin` to build our future
I`m doin` this for us
You`re the only one I love
The only one I trust

I`m sorry
I`m so sorry
