At 12:01 in the morning, a nigger's going to the chair
In a few more minutes, our nigger won't be here
He's done his crime, but now it's time
He's going to the chair
At 12:01 in the morning, and I wish I was there

He shot a gas station clerk in Houston
Killed a woman in L.A.
Got in a fight with po-lice, somewhere along the way
He told the Judge he was framed, but he knew he was lyin'
He's going to the chair, and I imagine he's screaming and a'crying

It's 12:01 in the morning, and the State threw the switch
I can just see his body smokin', oh I can see it twitch
Let this be a lesson to all you homies, you better think before you act

Or you may be the next one to get zapped
Oh, you may be the next one who get's zapped
