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
Pick up his jacket with the colors on
Pick up his girl and the gig is on
Tough boys in a squad car scene
And he ends up downtown wearin' prison green
They'll were comin'
They'll were searchin'
They'll 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
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
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
Trois Secondes
Ils l'ont eu à taper sa tête encore
La famille se dispute mais qui s'en soucie quand
La fête de la came attend dans la rue
Où l'enfer est un paradis et rien n'est gratuit
Ils vont arriver
Ils vont fouiller
Ils vont le chercher, c'est certain
Prends sa veste avec les couleurs dessus
Prends sa copine et la fête est lancée
Des durs dans une voiture de flic
Et il finit en bas, en vert de prison
Ils vont arriver
Ils vont fouiller
Ils vont le chercher, c'était certain
C'était un perdant
Ils l'ont eu
Trois secondes et le jury était là
Mauvaise came, mauvais tir
Mauvaise réputation et c'est la prison qu'il a eu
Trois secondes et sa vie en jeu
Une vieille chanson, dans ses oreilles
Amazing Grace pour lui et puis sont venues les larmes
Mon amour, je ne te laisserai pas seul
Mon amour, te ramènera chez toi
Il y avait une scène dans sa cellule encore
Ils ont essayé de briser sa volonté encore
Mais il n'est pas vraiment sous leur commandement
Il connaît la liberté d'un autre Plan
Ils vont arriver
Ils vont fouiller
Ils vont le chercher, c'est certain
Jésus arrive, les anges fouillent
Ils vont l'aimer longtemps
C'est certain
