Tell you bout a brother named Sid Got work release after doing a 3-to-life bid cause of drug logic Shouldn't touch it Now out to budget With a movie star chick from outta Edenwald Projects Nice job, took prison camp drives While he promised up and down to live a civilized lifestyle The seat off the brow was soon on garment Both worked Got themselves a two-bedroom apartment Great statement, without delayment, away and went Saved to get a house on one of them low down payments But an idea concocted his stock Why don't we try and turn this money over on the drug tip So he gave his man a shriek and excitement Didn't know his peeps were under secret indictment Sick of the path that'll get you hung by the neck Sent him back up north to do a super long stretch again Black folk, you know the half, don't laugh, it's... Just another case about the wrong path Chorus: repeat 4X Well, this ain't funny, so don't you dare laugh It's just another case about the wrong path
