Betting on the cloud cover

Anger clouds the young man's thoughts
and he makes the wrong decision...

Hey man, that bitch said I can't see my baby!
She said "this is my new man"
 "now your baby has a dad"

...what was I supposed to do

so I took it to his ass
I didn't know he had a knife and couldn't fight
punk-ass-mother-fucker died

Now I'm doing seven years
and two more for being here
the shit comes to me
if I don't stop I'll never be free

so I'm waiting out my last year in a box
you see in here
the football game is us

if they hate you
they don't want your suffering to end
if they like you
they want you there watching
for them

hard to be middle of the road
when it's your time to go
that's when the betting begins
and the cloud usually wins
