Take The Rap


You were lookin` at your mother
So you went and told your father
Daddy don`t say nothin`he`s got plenty in his past
Changed your way of thinkin`
So you started drinkin`
And you got arrested for drivin` blind

Take the rap, take the rap
It`s gonna break your back, it`s a fact, take the rap

It was lined up on the mirror
And you just started shavin`
Didn`t know what you were smokin`
Cigarette came from a friend
Judge said you`re delinquent
You don`t want to think it
So you put your head down, started servin` time

Take the rap, take the rap
It`s gonna break your back, take the rap

Tried to talkbut i got nothin` to prove--why you want to?
Tried to run they took away my shoes--why you want to?
Why you want me to take the rap?

Take the rap, take the rap
It`s gonna break your back, take the rap

Well your damned if iron bars`ll
Keep you rottin` in a prison
Hell is lookin` better `cause you`ll
Never get to heaven
See your chance and take it
Sure you`re gonna make it
You`re prepared to take it `cause you`re never gonna.

Take the rap, take the rap
It`s gonna break your back, it`s a fact, take the rap
