The
judge he put me down for life because of what I stole.
They never got the money back because I never told.
Well,
how the 25 went by before they set me free.
I know the game,
I know the play,
they're gonna follow me.
News people men call round the B-city,
want the storyline.
But I ain't gonna tell to them why I spend my time.
I know the boys are waiting in the cab,
you crossed the way.
They wanna know where the money is,
where it is,
it's gonna stay.
I ain't going nowhere cuz I kinda like
this place until the heat cools down.
Ain't gonna show my face.
I try to get some sleep.
Someone's ringing on the phone.
Why can't they all just go away and leave me alone?
Oh, I'm caught in the middle of a crossfire.
Lord on my left, God on my right,
crossfire.
Just when I think I'm verging on the brink of freedom.
Someone from the past turns to me and asks,
are you going somewhere else?
I don't need no witness on the house.
I still got friends I found.
They'll all be on my good books when the time it comes around.
Till then I'll sit here patiently and buy my time each day.
And when I'm free and flying,
that'll be the time to pay.
Oh,
I'm caught in the middle of a crossfire.
