Mama knows her boy can't do anything anymore.
Your little boy's sitting in the car with handcuffs.
With handcuffs, we're both being taken away.
That's how fate plays, life is tough on you.
That fits me, my friend, I've had bad luck.
To you and my mother, I dedicate this last line.
Thank you for always being there for me.
Stop crying, come on, please say something.
Don't think our paths are parting now.
True love among brothers will stay alive.
For now, we both have the memory,
Hold it tight, and we'll always stay young.
Dear God, please tell me what I should do.
Tell me if I should cry or laugh.
I can hardly take it, the car comes to a stop.
Dear God, please bless my parents.

Mama, I'm so sorry.
Mama, it's blood when you cry.
Mama, I know you have me in your heart,
Mama, I'm writing this last line just for you.

Mama, I'm so sorry.
Mama, it's blood when you cry.
Mama, I know you have me in your heart,
Mama, I'm writing this last line just for you.

My cell is so cold and uncomfortable.
Mine too, we have to go to the yard to see each other.
I don't have a mom anymore who cooks every day.
My life is passing me by in this hole.
In this hole, we're both going to fall.
For every day, we'll draw a line with white chalk.
I never thought everything would come to an end.
Never thought I'd feel this much regret.
I have to repeat myself, I never thought this.
Suddenly it hits me, I never laughed before.
I always just wanted to keep screwing up.
Not going to school, just keep screwing up.
And now I'm here, me and the cell block.
All because of money and a quick job.
My life is falling apart, just like this kid,
Who looks out his window.

Mama, I'm so sorry.
Mama, it's blood when you cry.
Mama, I know you have me in your heart.
Mama, I'm writing this last line just for you.

Mama, I'm so sorry.
Mama, it's blood when you cry.
Mama, I know you have me in your heart.
Mama, I'm writing this last line just for you.

The door opens, and I see the guard standing there.
He walks me on my very last path.
All the stress fades away, I've never been this nervous.
I messed up, and this time it was by accident.
Now I'm finally in, in the courtroom.
Tears came to my eyes when I saw Mama's face.
I ask myself now, what have I done?
I backed myself into a corner.
The judge asks me what drove me to this.
I spoke up because I had been silent too long.
I wanted to finally put an end to all the hate inside me.
I wanted others to finally see me as a person.
Please don't let me go to the grave as a murderer.
The last time I hold you, my friend, in my arms.
It was a mistake to take a father from his son.
The only reason left to keep living.

Mama, I'm so sorry.
Mama, it's blood when you cry.
Mama, I know you have me in your heart.
Mama, I'm writing this last line just for you.

Mama, I'm so sorry.
Mama, it's blood when you cry.
Mama, I know you have me in your heart.
Mama, I'm writing this last line just for you.
