Lyrics Duece-5 to Life - X-Raided

Duece-5 to Life

Yeah
X-raided loc
back up in this bitch
Nigga
I aint dead yet
Deat yet
187, gang related, I’m accused
after every court date my face is on the news
They say I wrote a song about a murder I commited
maintain innocence, nothing but a coincidence
I admit it looks shadey
from the outside looking in
Situation is serious but folks don’t comprehend
17 years young back in '92
Facing 25 to life for something I didn’t do
My song is supposed to be a big admission on my part
And they’re gonna use the lyrics against me
When my trial is ready to start
My words are being misinterpritated
Nothing but the D.A.
trying to prove premeditated
They’ve got the Raided stuck, majorly crossed up
The D.A.
got a fucked up witness and my lawyer is a truck
Sitting in the county, and three years already went by
Pressuring my homies, trying to get them to testify
Snitching ain’t no joke, it’s hazardous to your health
Point one finger at me, you’re pointing three back at yourself
Homies got convicted murder in the first degree
Ain’t no doubt about it, they gonna do much worse than me
Take me in the court room in front of an all white jury
Family looking me with barely concealed fury
Lawyer standing next to me, but scared to represent
Helped me get convicted cause to him,
I’m guilty till proven innocent…
Why they wanna give me 25 life
They trying give me deuce 5 to life
Open up the front page of the Sacramento Bee
Read the article that Dan McGrath wrote about me
He has his own opinion
It’s his job to write it
I say he’s being blind and completly one sided
The media write their stories for the public to consume
And any chance I have of getting a fair trial in Sac has been doomed
Any potential jurors mind is being contaminated
Reading all the bull shit that they wrote about X-Raided
I never told nobody to go out kill somebody’s folks
Blaming it all on me
And a song I wrote is a complete joke
They’re looking for a murderer searching in the gardens
Putting a noose around my neck and a bullet thru my heart
Just because I’m capable of killing doesn’t mean I kill
Just because I’m capable of killing doesn’t mean I will
Wish the family knew, gotta find a way to make them feel me
I didn’t do it but I’ve gotta ride cause I’m guilty till proven innocent…
Why they wanna give me 25 life
They trying give me deuce 5 to life
Cuzz im guilty to proven innocent
I’m knowing I’m going to end up in the pen
Waiting on appeal
Hoping that I win
Me and Baby Bread fighting this fucked up case
Like Dooney and D-Dub trying to get these years erased
In Sac ain’t no love when you’re from the Garden Blocc
Maniac, C-Mooney, Baby Snake and Lil' Venom already got washed
I’m trying to keep my head up but my load is getting heavy
It makes me want to do like Sicx: take some Tylenol and get it over with
But instead I just maintain and do everything to keep my composure
Representing the Hood to the fullest and riding like a soldier
I told you fools I ain’t going out like the average
I didn’t kill your folks but if you run up then I gotta loc up like a savage
On yo ass, bitch, it ain’t nothing personal thang, it’s just about survival
I’m going to be 125 years old before I die
If I can help it
You made your threats i felt it but I ain’t dead yet
All ya niggas are talking about
What you’re going to do when you see me
I’ll be on the Weights, wearing State Boots and my Beanie
I wish I didn’t have to be this way
But in reality
I’m strapped based on the fact
I’m guilty till proven innocent…
Why they wanna give me 25 life
They trying give me deuce 5 to life
Cuzz im guilty to proven innocent
