Lyrics

[INTRO] [SAMPLES] [Verse 1] Six in the mornin', police at my door Dead body on the floor from the night before I caught a murder rap, 'cause I busted a cap in the whore Left her body stinkin' on the bathroom floor Out the back door, cops seen who done it One homicide, now one man's wanted APB, 187 suspect's on the flee, six in the mornin' It's a homi-C-I-D-E, they said her body's mutilated Can't get an ID 'Cause I shot her in the face and took a hammer and busted out her teeth Now I'm the run with a gun and a sledge hammer Thinking to myself, "I'll be damned if I'm in the slammer" Ran down a dead end street, here comes the heat Next thing you know I got my face in the concrete Now I got a court date, on my way upstate Prosecuting attorney waiting for my fate Thirty questions are asked and thirty answers are lies And as the judge and jury looks on, how do I plead to homicide [SAMPLES] [Verse 2] As I approached the bench, my shackles dragged across the floor "Where were you on the night in question?" At the liqour store They wanted me to tell the truth and nothin' but the truth I'll tell the truth only if you got proof They ask me this, they ask me that Then they switch the stuff up and ask the same shit right back But I got my shit together, I'm too clever "Have you ever worshipped the devil?" No! Never! I said it once, I said it twice, I said it three times Then they pulled my file and found all sorts of crimes The victim's parents said the cops should have killed me They asked me how do I plead, I said not guilty They're getting angry, they wanna hang me They called me the Devil and threw holy water on me Order in the court, it's getting out of hand They got an eyewitness and she's about to take the stand Now I start to panic, the truth and lies collide How do I plead to homicide [SAMPLES] [Verse 3] The eyewitness took the stand, she said she saw me burning candles Then she heard a shot in my hand was the hammer's handle She seen blood and guts and called the cops soon And when they came, brain fragments all over the room The judge and jury lookin' at me like guilty Then one jumped up and said "Lock up the filthy bastard!" I'm like damn, can I get a Goddamn break How much shit can one black man take But the judge was black and the jury too All of them lookin' at you know who They asked me why did I do it, I said "Fuck you!" Show me a throat and I'm going to cut through They said the killin' was a Satanic ritual Then they called me a sick individual I dropped my head and tried to plead insanity "Your Honor as you can see, he's a threat to humanity" With no emotion in my face I saw her family cry And since I'm guilty, that's how I'm pleading to homicide [SAMPLES]
