Lyrics

[Intro: X-Raided & Lunasicc] Yeah (Hmm) It's X-Raided Loc back up in this biatch, nigga I ain't dead yet (Dead yet) Hmm, yeah [Verse 1: X-Raided] 187, gang related, I'm accused And after every court date, my face is on the news They say I wrote a song about a murder that I committed Maintain innocence, nothing but coincidence I'll admit, it looks kind of shady from the outside looking in The 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 (Oh, oh, oh, oh) And they gon' use the lyrics against me when my trial gets ready to start My songs are being misinterpretated Ain't nothing but the D.A. trying to prove premeditated They got the Raided stuck, majorly crossed up D.A. got a fucked up witness and my lawyer is a truck Sitting in the county and three years already done went by Pressuring my homies, trying to get them to testifizziy Snitching, it 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 a murder in the first degree And ain't no doubt about it, they gon' do much worse to me Take me in the court room in front of an all White jury The family looking at me with barely concealed fury My lawyer standing next to me, prepared to represent Help me get convicted 'cause to him I'm guilty 'til proven innocent [Chorus: X-Raided & Lunasicc] Why they wanna give me 25 to life? They tryna give me deuce-5 to life (Yeah, yeah) Why they wanna give me 25 to life? They tryna give me deuce-5 to life (Yeah) Why they wanna give me 25 to life? They tryna give me deuce-5 to life Why they wanna give me deuce-5? I'm innocent, I'm innocent, I'm innocent, yeah I'm innocent, I'm innocent, I'm innocent, yeah [Verse 2: X-Raided] Open up the front page of the Sacramento Bee And read the article that Dan McGrath wrote about me (Hm) He has his own opinion, it's his job to write it I say he's being biased and completely one sided The media writesa their stories for the public to consume (Ohh, woah, oh) And any chance I have of getting a fair trial in Sac has been doomed Any potential juror's mind is being contaminated From reading all this bullshit that they write about X-Raided I never told nobody to go out and kill somebody's folks (Oh yeah) Blaming it all on me in a song I wrote as a complete joke They're looking for a motive, searching in the dark Putting a noose around my neck and a bullet through my heart Just because I'm capable of killing don't mean I kill (Kill) Just because I'm capable of killing don't mean I will (Don't mean I will) Wish the family knew how to find a way to make 'em feel me I didn't do it but I've gotta rob because I'm guilty 'til proven innocent [Chorus: X-Raided & Lunasicc] Why they wanna give me 25 to life? They tryna give me deuce-5 to life 'Cause I'm guilty 'til proven innocent Why they wanna give me deuce-5 to life? They tryna give me deuce-5 to life 'Cause I'm guilty 'til proven innocent Why they wanna give me deuce-5 to life? They tryna give me deuce-5 to life 'Cause I'm guilty 'til proven innocent Why they wanna give me deuce-5? 'Cause I'm guilty 'til proven innocent I'm innocent, I'm innocent, I'm innocent, yeah I'm innocent, I'm innocent, I'm innocent, yeah [Verse 3] 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 B-Dub tryna get these years erased In Sac, it ain't no love (love) when you're from the Garden Blocc (Ohh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Maniac, C-Money, Baby Snake and Lil' Venom already got washed I'm trying to keep my head up but my load is getting heavy Makes me want to do like Sicx: take Tylenol to get it over with (Why they wanna give me deuce-5 to life?) But instead I just maintain, do everything to keep my composure Representing the hood to the fullest and riding like a soldier I told ya, fools I ain't coming up like the average Didn't kill your folks but if you run up then I gotta Loc up like a savage On yo' ass, biatch, ain't no personal thang, it's all about survival (Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah) I'm going 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 (But I ain't dead yet) All you niggas talking 'bout what you gon' do when you see me I'll be on the weights, wearing state boots and my beanie (My beanie) Wishing it didn't have to be this way But in reality, I'm strapped based on the fact I'm guilty 'til proven innocent, nigga [Chorus: X-Raided & Lunasicc] Why they wanna give me 25 to life? They tryna give me deuce-5 to life 'Cause I'm guilty 'til proven innocent Why they wanna give me deuce-5 to life? They tryna give me deuce-5 to life 'Cause I'm guilty 'til proven innocent Why they wanna give me deuce-5 to life? They tryna give me deuce-5 'Cause I'm guilty 'til proven innocent Why they wanna give me deuce-5 to life? I'm innocent, I'm innocent, I'm innocent, yeah I'm innocent, I'm innocent, I'm innocent, yeah [Outro: Lunasicc] Ohh, I'm innocent, yeah, yeah (I'm innocent) Why they wanna give me 2-5 to life? Guilty 'til I'm proven innocent I'm innocent, yeah Guilty 'til I'm proven innocent I'm innocent, I'm innocent, I'm innocent, yeah Guilty 'til I'm proven innocent
