Albany

Okay, you were right
 I've seen this movie before
 The cop is about to turn bad on us
 Out of his holster, a calculated thunder
 He thinks that he is bronze
 His face looks bulletproof
 This is the real world
 It's just like my momma taught me
 In a cradle in Baltimore
 And I have got fifty dollars
 Says you'll never make it to Albany
 With all of the luggage
 You were planning on leaving behind
 I have got fifty dollars
 Says you'll never make it to Albany
 Work at the convenience store
 Isn't quite the life I was hoping for
 But it pays some of the bills
 And we hardly ever get held up any more
 And believe me armed robbery
 It's not what it used to be
 This isn't my money
 Here, take it
 Leave some for me
 Fifty dollars
 Says you'll never make it to Albany
 With all of the luggage
 You were planning on leaving behind
 I have got fifty dollars
 Says you'll never make it to Albany
 I can save myself
 But for what?
 I can save myself
 But for what?
 My family
 The man at the gun shop
 Seems glad enough to see me
 His register is already open
 "I've got some papers
 Could you fill these out, please?"
 He says
 And are you a convicted felon? (No.)
 Do you plan to be? (Nuh-unh.)
 What is the gun for?
 To get me to Canada
 I have got fifty dollars
 Says you'll never make it to Albany
 With all of the luggage
 You were planning on leaving behind
 I have got fifty dollars
 Says you'll never make it to Albany
