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 |
