Probation

PROBATION - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I was raised on the streets 

And I know what fighting for survival means 

Love in the city ain't cheap 

It can cost you a heart and tear you apart

I'm on probation for killing a love

There just came a time when I had enough 

I'm on probation for emotional junk 

Love doesn't last forever and it's time the girl grew up

I'm not as cold as it may seem 

But life is for real and she lives in a dream

People never say what they mean 

But if you don't have a soul then why let them know? 

I'm on probation for killing a love

There just came a time when I had enough 

I'm on probation for emotional junk 

Love doesn't last forever and it's time the girl grew up

It would seem I committed a passionate crime

I used sex as a weapon and my words were just lies
The same thing was done to me

Now I do it to you

You'll never understand the sting 

If you can't ever forgive the truth

Oh, girl

How blind can a young person be?

Oh, girl

How many times do you think you will scream?

Pay it forward 

I was raised on the streets 

And I know what fighting for survival means 

Love in the city ain't cheap 

It can cost you a heart and tear you apart

I'm on probation for killing a love

There just came a time when I had enough 

I'm on probation for emotional junk 

Love doesn't last forever and it's time the girl grew up
