I’ve Got Rights

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I went down to the Mary Carter paint store I said, "Give me one of them Smith & Wesson Magnum .44s" 'Cause there's a man that the law let loose and justice was not done This man, he killed my wife and my only little son [Verse 2] I'll never forget the way he looked all through the trial He had his big-name lawyer and he had that smirky smile Woah, yeah, he got you off on a technicality But you have to grow wings and fly to ever get away from me [Chorus] 'Cause I got rights, I got rights too And this time there won't be no damn lawyers and systems to protect you But I'm gonna read you, I'm gonna read you your rights You got a right to know that you gonna go to hell one of these black nights [Verse 3] And when the trial was over, he had the nerve to say, "That's the way it goes" I said, "Well, Hoss, you'd better get you some corks, 'cause you're gonna have to plug up a few holes" Guess he thought I was talkin' just to pass away time But he kinda looks different now on his knees, beggin' for his life [Chorus] Hey, I got rights, I got some rights too And this time there won't be no damn lawyers and systems to protect you But I'm gonna read you, I'm gonna read you your rights Because I want you to know that you're gonna go to hell one of these black nights [Outro] Naw, and this time there ain't no damn lawyers and systems to save you
