Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh mama, yes, I've got you on the phone line
Telling you that I'm coming through the grapevine
Gonna come and handle mine
She says, "You know it's wrong
I know you do it, son
Yes, I want a son that can do no wrong
Oh, you're gonna see yourself locked away
In a penitentiary for life, you got to pay"
[Verse 2]
You got me trippin' far
Too long before I go away
You got me trippin' far
Too long before I go away
[Verse 3]
You got me trippin' far
Too long before I go away
You got me trippin' far
Yeah, so far, yes
[Verse 4]
Tell me that justice is wrong
What am I, oh, doing here so wrong?
Yes, you know I'm trying to go and free their minds
Oh, they're telling me that I'm gonna do some time
Yes, my mama tell me so
One day I hate to see my son who wants to go
I see you're down to free those minds
All of those minds, oh, to legalize your mind
[Verse 5]
You got me trippin' far
Too long before I go away
You got me trippin' far
Too long before I go away
[Verse 6]
You got me trippin' far
Too long before I go away
You got me trippin' far
Yeah, so far, yes
[Verse 7]
She said, "You know, yes, I love you so
Oh, you're my son and I hate to see you go
I see you're down to do these crimes
You must be ready, yes, to go and do the time"
Well, I don't care, no, free me so
There's no job when you're on parole
You can take this time in life
I hope I make it, all my life
[Verse 8]
You got me trippin' far
Too long before I go away
You got me trippin' far
Too long before I go away
[Verse 9]
You got me trippin' far
Too long before I go away
You got me trippin' far
Yeah, so far, yes
[Verse 10]
Trippin' so far
Ooh, you trippin' so far, yeah
You trippin' so far, yeah
So far, yeah, so far, yeah, so far
Ooh, yeah
[Verse 11]
You got me trippin' far
Too long before I go away
You got me trippin' far
Too long before I go away
[Verse 12]
You got me trippin' far
Too long before I go away
You got me trippin' far
Yeah, so far, yes
[Verse 13]
What have I done so wrong?
