Lyrics

I need one more day
One more day in the city

Streets talk and they lied to me
Said it'd be easy to make some fast money
I'd never want for anything
I could have everything
All they did was sell me a dream
When I look in the mirror
Can't believe what I see
A man who let the streets steal his destiny
No more hugs from my babies
No more love from my lady
Can't understand how I let this be

The closer I get I feel the rage (oh my my my my)
Voices in my head when I hear the judge call my name
Don't like this chapter
Wish I could turn the page
25 to life, I just need one more day, I just need one more day yeah, I just need one more day in the city yeah, I just need one more day yeah, I just need one more day

I had so many chances to turn things around
But I couldn't break the chains that had me bound
Do the crime, and you do the time
So I might as well stop cryin'

I just need one more day to say good-bye
To love on my family since I'll be gone for a while
No more hugs from babies
No more love from my lady
So how in the hell did this happen to me

The closer I get I feel the rage (oh my my my my)
Voices in my head when I hear the judge call my name
Don't like this chapter
Wish I could turn the page
25 to life, I just need one more day, I just need one more day yeah, I just need one more day in the city yeah, I just need one more day yeah, I just need one more day
