Incarcerated

[Verse 1]

My baby mother been incarcerated

Otherwise she would have been here today

To testify that every word I stated

While it may be complicated is still true in a way

You see this woman here today

I hardly even know her

Okay, maybe once or twice I mighta give her a lift

But she never lent me any money, your honor

Every penny that she gave me she said was a gift

She said that it was a gift

She said it was a gift

My baby mother been incarcerated

[Verse 2]

She had some trouble with an interstate cop

Who said he saw her driving by obliterated

And was further flusterated (sic) by the way she wouldn't stop

So they called out all the other cops

And had a high-speed chase

They chased my baby through the side of a tree

That's when I think they might have planted marijuana in her suitcase

A court appointed lawyer told us, cop a plea

So we copped a plea

We copped a plea

My baby mother been incarcerated

[Chorus]

I never had a lot of luck with the ladies, your honor

I never had a lot of luck with much of anything

My baby mother want to drive a Mercedes, your honor

My baby mother want to wear a bunch a diamond rings

She knows damn well I can't afford these things

Ah!

[Verse 3]

My baby mother been incarcerated

I'm kinda glad if I could tell you truth

But that don't have a whole lot here to do with this matter you see

This woman here today, she just don't have any proof

I don't know whose voice that could be there on her telephone recorder

Maybe her brother or some other friend who is in on it too

Maybe the same old friend

Who came and helped her forge my signature

Because that is not my signature, I'm telling you the truth

I am telling you the truth

I'm telling you the truth

My baby mother been incarcerated

[Chorus 2]

I understand about the verdict and everything, your honor

You're just doing your job and that's alright with me

Just one more thing before I leave for all my friends and my family

Can you tell me when this particular episode is gonna be on TV

I'm gonna be on TV

[Outro]

Nobody suffers like the poor people suffer

Nobody suffers like the poor people suffer

Nobody suffers like the poor people suffer

Nobody suffers like the poor people suffer
