I Had To Do It

I had to do it, I had to do it I had no choice

I had to do it, what would I tell my boy?

I had to do it, I havent found work since june

Theres food and the medicine and christmas is coming soon. I had to do it.

Now dont you start talking about morality

Youll only start me thinkin about my mortality

cause its so easy to judge me when you dont really think much of me

And youve all got plenty of money

I had to do it, I already made the plan

I had to do it, I hired every man

In my opinion crime is a sacred cow

Should I wait forever or take my compensation now? I had to do it.

Now everything was goin so smoothly

Til I figured out the crew I hired were just using me

So I gave them the slip and I unbuttoned my lip

Cause I know when to quit

I cant undo what Ive done but if Im good could I please see my son?

I had to do it, I walked away with just some scars

I had to do it, Im safer behind bars

The crew are resting theyre all taking the big sleep

A promise is something you should always keep

I had to do it
