Song Lyrics

Police man stepping on my foot
With his heals so I won't run
He said I'm suspected of a robbery
That happened down on Lexington

I told him I was on my way home
From the store and I worked all day
Then I was thrown in the back seat of his car
And my rights were read

As the cuffs dug deep into my skin
And my wrist began to bruise
I looked to the Most and asked Him
For strength to get me through this one time

One time
That's all it took for me to find
One time
A reason to change my mind

One time
And look up to the Most High
One time

This is a message for my people in the ghetto
In case you missed it I'll repeat it like an echo
It only takes one time for you to make a bad choice
My people please treasure your lives

Stefan Moss, Victor Oquendo
