If They Charge You

If they charge you, you’ll be in jail
Maybe prison most of your life is gone
Straight down the drain
If they charge you you’ll learn the 
Hard way the guilt you told the pity 
I felt its you not me im the good one 
You’re the bad one you could of prevented 
This all with the most simplest calls if 
You would of thought of the consequences
You could of saved one more life then you did
Your lucky to be here 
But if they charge you your better off dead 
you’ve thrown your life away 
If they charge you you’ll see why 
Were empty you’ll feel it all
You have a slight chance to get way only cuz
The test came up clean 
If you lie you’ve hurt yourself  just think 
About the mistake that got you here 
So if they charge you that means you
Came clean which means you did the right thing
You told the truth and that’s why they charged you.
