Lacrim – Oz (English lyrics)

1st verse :
New comer, isolated, what a shitty weather
I had told myself “never that again”, the prison’s visiting rooms and the teeth aches
The heat waves dry out the flowers, well me, prison darkens my soul
Just a little rest, I don’t sleep anymore, I lurk around, I don’t dream anymore, leave my heart over at the court clerk, homie
“Hey Lacrim, how’s it going ?
Don’t worry bro, a cell phone, a bar of hash, I’ll take care of you”
I’m thinking on my family, that I left outside, my mother must be going crazy
For all of those struggles, I would like to ask you to forgive me

Pre chorus :
If you come to see me, I’ll hold back my tears
Don’t worry, I’ll soon be out
Prison is nothing, I’m holding my head up
But in reality, I’m disgusted

Chorus :
I just want to be free
To see me son grow up a little
I’m thinking on my homies that are still over there
A heavy heart, I won’t forget you

2nd verse :
Bro, send over some money, we fall but we know how to get back up
I arrive at building B, I’ve got homies there, so I quickly blend in
Yeah, Kore, brother, they got me, send over some beats I’ll murk them
I had barely got my record deal, that’s not the way to get me to reintegrate society
You really think that I’m going to let myself be pushed around, my dignity, is it worth shit
Will I have the grit to go to war against them ? Will I have time to visit the whole planet earth ?
Stifling myself with hatred, that’s all they want, I’ve caused to much pain to those that I love
Behind the walls is just like at the projects, you have to handle things in order to make a name for yourself
The prison’s waiting rooms, the prison yards, the days in cell, plus the business
Having to wait on letters, the searches at the prison visiting room, your wife that can’t take it anymore, your mother that starts to fatigue you
Lady justice, we’re proud, made of blood and of flesh
Your minimum sentences only have one goal : making our mothers cry

Pre chorus :
If you come to see me, I’ll hold back my tears
Don’t worry, I’ll soon be out
Prison is nothing, I’m holding my head up
But in reality, I’m disgusted

Chorus :
I just want to be free
To see me son grow up a little
I’m thinking on my homies that are still over there
A heavy heart, I won’t forget you

3rd verse :
You take risks, you think you’re a boss
You don’t want to live a small life, you, you want a Porsche
No matter what it cost, you’re on a watch list, you’re bugged
One day you woke up, and got sentenced to 15 years

Chorus :
I just want to be free
To see me son grow up a little
I’m thinking on my homies that are still over there
A heavy heart, I won’t forget you
