Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, they locked him up seventeen years for a crime It all began when he did what he had to get by All alone, all he had were his friends and the streets A life of crime became all he'd ever need Ever need [Chorus] Well, they say three strikes and you're out It's you they care nothing about When all you got is these four walls, they say Three strikes and you're out [Verse 2] A kid growin' up stealing cars was a way to kill time The deeper, he said, trouble he was sure to find A forty-five in his hand, he's ready to settle the score Shots rang out, he'll spend the rest of life behind bars Behind bars [Chorus] Well, they say three strikes and you're out It's you they care nothing about When all you got is these four walls, they say Three strikes and you're out [Interlude] [Chorus] Well, they say three strikes and you're out It's you they care nothing about When all you got is these four walls, they say Three strikes and you're out
