We're About 9 - Albany lyrics

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
