County Blues

Murs]

Hey mom..

They got me down at the substation

And this punk ass ? right here is testing my patience

Naw mama don't cry, cause it's not that serious

I'm drunk and I'm tired and I'm a little bit delerious

But other than that, I'm gonna be O.K

It's just a misdemeanor running overnight stay

Anyway I had to call cause you're the only person I can count on

Not to ? to make sure I don't get caught up ? out the County Jail

Nah I don't need bail. I'll be out tomorrow morning

That's if when they run my name they don't come up with no warrants

Nah, ain't do nothing. But you know how they do

They could make something, if they really wanted to

So... What I need from you is to be at the Inglewood court about two

That's when the judge will hear my case

It'll really do me good to, you know, see your face

But since I don't have a whole lot of time to waste

Let me apologize for being a disgrace

Next for the stress and calling you so late

Please know this is a call that I never wished to make

I tried to avoid it

All throughtout my youth I did my dirt smart

That way I stayed aloof to the system and its prisons

Always made the right decisions

You know, weed not crack, Krylon not gats. It was that type of logic

That kept me out the trap, I could of just snapped

Like the rest that went crazy but that's not in my nature

And not how you raised me. I felt I owed you better

Than a couple Saturday visits, some jailhouse flicks and some poorly written letters

Plus we had a little cheddar that you worked so hard for

Why would I risk it all for just to act hardcore

That's why you won't believe why they threw in me in the car for

Not for drunk driving. Fighting or no drug sit

Mom they locked me in the jail cell for pissing in public

[Hook: Repeat 6x]

Mamma put your house up, So I can bounce up

Out this motherfucker, that's why I love ya

I love ya
