Three Seconds

They got him bangin' his head again
The family fights, but who cares when
Crack party waitin' in the street
Where hell is heaven and nothin's free

They'll be comin', they'll be searchin'
They'll be lookin' for him, that's for certain
They'll be comin', they'll be searchin'
They'll be lookin' for him, that's for certain

Picks up his jacket with the colors on
Picks up his girl, and the gig is on
Tough boys in a squad car scene
And he ends up downstate wearin' prison green

They were comin', they were searchin'
They were lookin' for him, that was certain
They were comin', they were searchin'
They were lookin' for him, that was certain

He was a loser; they got him
Three seconds and the jury was in
Bad dope, bad shot
Bad rap, and it was prison he got
He was a loner, he got time
Three seconds, and his life on the line
An old song in his ears
Amazing Grace for him, and then came the tears

My love won't leave you alone
My love will carry you home
My love won't leave you alone
My love will carry you home
Carry you home

There was a scene in his cell again
They tried breakin' his will again
But he ain't really under their command
He knows the freedom of another Plan

They'll be comin', they'll be searchin'
They'll be lookin' for him, that's for certain
Jesus comin', angels searchin'
They'll be lovin' him long, that's for certain

They'll be comin', they'll be searchin'
They'll be lookin' for him, that's for certain
Jesus comin', angels searchin'
They'll be lovin' him long, that's for certain
