Fighting Against Conviction

歌詞

Battering down sentence, Fighting Against Convictions (2X) I find myself growing in an environment Where finding food is just as hard as paying the rent In trodding these roads of trials and tribulations I've seen where some have died in desperation To keep battering down sentence, fighting against convictions (2X) In a family of ten and raised in the ghetto Hustling is the only education I know Can't grow no crops in this concrete jungle A situation like this is getting too hard to handle To keep battering down sentence, fighting against convictions (2X) With a pregnant woman, yes and five kids to care for Can't cool my heels, I've got to do the town As skillful as I am, the jailer-man is bound to find me I pray the day will come when I shall be free from Battering down sentence, fighting against convictions (2X) To be trapped and caught and taken before judge and angry jury Pleading before men, who seem to have no mercy Can't afford to find myself down in the dungeons I've got to stay free so that my kids won't be Battering down sentence, fighting against convictions (2X) Now a fugitive at large Could this be my destiny With no one to care for the wellfare of my family But in solitude I've found new faith and hope in this I'll be secure For mind and soul would soon be weary Just couldn't take no more Battering down sentence, fighting against convictions
