Gotta be somebody the police chasin` that done got away
Gotta be somebody `round the world today that`ll beat they case
Gotta be somebody `round the world, got off probation today
Gotta be somebody `round the world walkin` out them prison gates

Gotta be somebody the police chasin` that done got away
Gotta be somebody `round the world today that`ll beat they case
Gotta be somebody `round the world, got off probation today
Gotta be somebody `round the world walkin` out them prison gates

I`m happy for that ni**a, today, that they came home
And got that time behind `em, now it`s time to move on
I`m celebratin` with ya, the reason I wrote this song
Hope you done became a better person since you`ve been gone

I salute you, my ni**a, dawg, for stayin` strong
Now, getcha feet up under ya, homie, keep it goin`
I hope you walk straight, don`t make the wrong turn
Them cracks waitin` to send you off on another long run

Just enjoy yourself tonight and have fun
And don`t go f**kin` wit them ni**as who ain`t send ya nothin`
And if ya got kids, go`n get `em and catch up
I`m celebratin` with you tonight, I`m holdin` my cup up

Gotta be somebody the police chasin` that done got away
Gotta be somebody `round the world today that`ll beat they case
Gotta be somebody `round the world, got off probation today

He took them crackas to the do` and he beat `em in trial
A lot of ni**as thought you was gon` lose but you held it down
All I can tell you, homie, you made all the real ni**as proud
They offered you a plea bargain, but you turned it down

Stood in the paint, what you believed in, you did it in style
I know your family, they was worried, but now they can smile
Should be happy `cause ain`t too many of us beat `em in awhile
Just be careful in these streets `cause this s**t done got wild

A lot of ni**as f**ked up, so they playin` it foul
He was your homeboy, he your co-defendant now
If you gon` get money, get it, but lose the crowd
Ni**as in prison `cause they homeboys ran they mouth

Gotta be somebody the police chasin` that done got away
Gotta be somebody `round the world today that`ll beat they case
Gotta be somebody `round the world, got off probation today
Gotta be somebody `round the world walkin` out them prison gates

Gotta be somebody the police chasin` that done got away
Gotta be somebody `round the world today that`ll beat they case
Gotta be somebody `round the world, got off probation today
Gotta be somebody `round the world walkin` out them prison gates

To that young ni**a who took `em on a high speed chase
Ain`t condonin` whatcha did, I`m just glad ya got away
I know ya heart beatin` fast, I`m just glad ya safe
S**t, you had to hit it, you couldn`t afford another case

You tried to play cool, but you shoulda seen your face
Git a muthaf**ka, lost `em in broad day
Doin` a hundred, dawg, goin` down a one way
Jumped out on `em, turned into a foot race

Git know the streets, so they couldn`t keep they pace
He had to throw his pistol, they find it, that`s okay
You ain`t gotta do it, but for you I`ma celebrate
Do me a favor, dawg, stay out them cracka face

Gotta be somebody the police chasin` that done got away
Gotta be somebody `round the world today that`ll beat they case
Gotta be somebody `round the world, got off probation today
Gotta be somebody `round the world walkin` out them prison gates

Gotta be somebody the police chasin` that done got away
Gotta be somebody `round the world today that`ll beat they case
Gotta be somebody `round the world, got off probation today
Gotta be somebody `round the world walkin` out them prison gates
