Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Gotta be somebody police chasin'
That done got away
Gotta be somebody 'round the world
Today that done beat their case
Gotta be somebody 'round the world
That got off probation today
Gotta be somebody 'round the world
Walkin' out them prison gates
[Verse 2]
Gotta be somebody police chasin'
That done got away
Gotta be somebody 'round the world
Today that done beat their case
Gotta be somebody 'round the world
That got off probation today
Gotta be somebody 'round the world
Walkin' out them prison gates
[Verse 3]
I'm happy for that ****
That today he done came home
Done got that time behind him
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 been gone
[Verse 4]
I salute you my ****, dawg
For stayin' strong
Now get ya feet up under ya
Homie, keep it goin'
I hope you walk straight
Don't make the wrong turn
Them crackers waitin' to send ya off
On another long run
[Verse 5]
Just enjoy yourself tonight
And have fun
And don't go fuckin' with them ****
Who ain't send you nothin'
And if ya got kids go and get 'em
And catch up
I'm celebratin' with ya tonight
I'm holdin' my cup up
[Verse 6]
Gotta be somebody police chasin'
That done got away
Gotta be somebody 'round the world
Today that done beat their case
Gotta be somebody 'round the world
That got off probation today
Gotta be somebody 'round the world
Walkin' out them prison gates
[Verse 7]
Gotta be somebody police chasin'
That done got away
Gotta be somebody 'round the world
Today that done beat their case
Gotta be somebody 'round the world
That got off probation today
Gotta be somebody 'round the world
Walkin' out them prison gates
[Verse 8]
He took them crackers to the door
And he beat 'em in trial
A lot of **** thought
You was gonna lose but
You held it down
All I can tell ya homie
You made all the real **** proud
They offered you a plea bargain
But you turned it down
Stood in the paint
What you believed in
And you did it in style
[Verse 9]
I know ya family they was worried
But now they can smile
Should be happy 'cause
Ain't too many beat 'em in awhile
Just be careful in these streets
'Cause this shit done got wild
[Verse 10]
A lot of **** fucked up
So they playin' it foul
He was your homeboy
Your co-defendant now
If you gon' get money
Get it but lose the crowd
**** in prison 'cause
They homeboys ran they mouth
[Verse 11]
Gotta be somebody police chasin'
That done got away
Gotta be somebody 'round the world
Today that done beat their case
Gotta be somebody 'round the world
That got off probation today
Gotta be somebody 'round the world
Walkin' out them prison gates
[Verse 12]
Gotta be somebody police chasin'
That done got away
Gotta be somebody 'round the world
Today that done beat their case
Gotta be somebody 'round the world
That got off probation today
Gotta be somebody 'round the world
Walkin' out them prison gates
[Verse 13]
To that young ****
Who took 'em on a high speed chase
Ain't condonin' what you did
I'm just glad you got away
I know ya heart beatin' fast
I'm just glad you're safe
Shit, you had to hit it
You couldn't afford another case
[Verse 14]
You tried to play cool
But ya should've seen your face
Jitt a motherfucker
Lost 'em in broad day
Doin' hundred dawg
Goin' down a one way
Jumped out on 'em
Turned into a foot race
[Verse 15]
Jitt know the streets
So they couldn't keep they pace
He had to throw his pistol
If 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's face
[Verse 16]
Gotta be somebody police chasin'
That done got away
Gotta be somebody police chasin'
Today that done beat their case
Gotta be somebody 'round the world
That got off probation today
Gotta be somebody 'round the world
Walkin' out them prison gates
[Verse 17]
Gotta be somebody police chasin'
That done got away
Gotta be somebody 'round the world
Today that done beat their case
Gotta be somebody 'round the world
That got off probation today
Gotta be somebody 'round the world
Walkin' out them prison gates
