Píseň: Death Row
Here I am, oh my time's rolling slowly by 21 years old, waiting on my turn to die Every minute Lord, every minute seems like five And if it wasn't for the window, I'd wonder if the world outside was alive Yeah, smokin cigarettes, drinkin' coffee And waiting on my last meal, I try to pretend I try to pretend but this cell is much too real Oh, I should have left that chick alone I curse the day, I curse the day she was born, now Oh the old men they tell me they tell me love is akin to hate but before I die, I just gotta get it straight now Crush out my cigarette, throw away my coffee and scream Ahhhhhhh, I don't wanna die Oh, I don't wanna die Oh, it's too late they'll be comin' for me soon It's too late to pray, and anyway, God can't see this room I'm startin' to sweat now, It won't be long now I can see They're gonna put me in that chair They're gonna put me in that chair and that's how the end's gonna be Yeah, it's gettin cold, it's gettin colder And I'm startin' to scream, Ahh I don't wanna die Don't leave me here to die
