lyrics

They wanna give me ticket but I'm living, oh
I think they here to test me!
x2

I wanna be an adult, adult but
I don't I don't cause
When I was younger
My mind was grown up
I cannot say that
I do not know, uh

Because I do better
Why I did not do better

I'm on CP time
Kicks me in behind
Who gon' back me up
When I get this fine

Nobody, dolo shawty
But watch me when I pay it, no the court can't tell me nothing, oh

(Bridge)
Who can catch me there's no price tag on my spirit, oh
I been laughing like a child I'm with them chirrens, oh
I can pay, I can pay
But will I pay But will I pay

I yield my ways to the future
I still might throw it in a U-turn

I can pay, I can pay
But will I pay, will I pay

(Chorus)

Why we gotta tiptoe round these laws
Most/all our people behind bars
Cause the slavery never ended, no they turned it to a shopping center
We are not the center
We the margins
But somehow what we are
Seems to spread around the world
