Lyric I Had To Do It

I had to do it, I had to do it I had no choice
I had to do it, what would I tell my boy?
I had to do it, I haven t found work since June
There s food and the medicine and Christmas is coming soon. I had to do it.

Now don t you start talking about morality
You ll only start me thinkin about my mortality
cause it s so easy to judge me when you don t really think much of me
and you ve all got plenty of money

I had to do it, I already made the plan
I had to do it, I hired every man
In my opinion crime is a sacred cow
Should I wait forever or take my compensation now? I had to do it.

Now everything was goin so smoothly
til I figured out the crew I hired were just using me
so I gave them the slip and I unbuttoned my lip
cause I know when to quit

I can t undo what I ve done but if I m good could I please see my son?

I had to do it, I walked away with just some scars
I had to do it, I m safer behind bars
The crew are resting they re all taking the big sleep
A promise is something you should always keep

I had to do it
