Master P Hands Of A Dead Man Lyrics

[Verse-1]

As they shackled and chained me for a murder case
Out the hood on my way to CYA
And from CYA to the Pembrooke
If they find the murder weapon I get 10 more
But just like a g I remained calm
No witnesses a few more weeks I'll be going home
But as the f___ing police car drove off g
I started thinking about my m_________ing family
About the dope game must of been the wrong move
I still here my pops saying n____ stay in school
But once you shackled and chained ain't no turning back
You get in front of the judge n____ you can tell your facts
I fell asleep in the back of the cop car
Woke up ?? bout a m________ing phone call
And as they booked me I had a mouthful of crack
And when I s___ tonight b____ I'm gone get it back
I must be daydreaming I'm thinking about my b____
Til this m_________er woke me up and cough quick
And as they checked me b___ naked and b____ dangling
With 50 other m_________ers in the shower saying

Yo man check this out
You gotta sleep with one eye open and one eye closed fool
This your first time in jail n____ gone need some friends
By the way youngster what's your name

[Verse-2]

You can call me killer on the streets its the dopeman
And like Scarface you gotta let your nuts hang
I put my glock up to a fool don't move g
See in 94 suckers catching lugies
But ain't nobody tripping on the black man
You either learn to dope deal or you gang bang
See in the ghetto a life don't mean s___
And most blacks they don't know about politics
And once you marked for death than your a__ is smoked
Cause n____s dying young in the ghetto
Gang banging that can get you 40 to life
So choose your casket red, blue or white
And once you gone ain't no m_________ing coming back
The way you live is the way you gone die black
Glocks pulled on this sucker for selling dope
n____ owe me money so you know he gotta go
f___ing with my stash I'm gone kick that a__
Spend 17 rounds as they stuff him in a bodybag
Even though I know I'm living f___ing ignorant
I guess that's the s___ that got me in the pen
But since I'm in, I guess I got to hold my ground
Make a second case so m_________ers ?? down
Hit the weights on a m_________ing daily basis
And keep my mouth closed and always remember faces
Cause once you in jail you ain't nothing but a number black
You never know when the f___er going to call you back
I'd rather sleep in some m_________ing quick sand
They killed my celly have you ever held the hands of a dead man

(Chorus x4)
Have you ever held the hand of a dead man
