I shived D. Chauvin

I shived D. Chauvin, but I didn't shiv him out of spite
I shived D. Chauvin, but I didn't shiv him out of spite

All the while in my prison block
They are tellin' me that I can't walk
They say I can get an early parole
For the playin' of a simple role
For the life of D. Chauvin, but I say

I shived D. Chauvin
But I swear I was told to do
I say, I shived D. Chauvin (And they say they do not know me)

He Derek Chauvin never wronged me
For all I know
Every time I put a bid
For early parole
They say, do him in and go

I shived D. Chauvin
But I swear I was told to do
I say, I shived D. Chauvin (And they say they do not know me)

Parole papers came my way one day
And I asked them if I can go
All of a sudden they put shiv in my hand
And they say, do it as planned
So I shived, I shived, I shived him, and I say,
If I done it let me go away

I shived D. Chauvin
But I didn't shiv him out of spite

Gullibility had got the better of me
And I did what they asked of me
Every day I hope someone will tell
Me that I can get out
Yes, one day I can get out, I say

I shived D. Chauvin
But I didn't shiv him out of spite
I shived D. Chauvin
But I didn't shiv him out of spite
