Esham - How Do I Plead to Homicide? lyrics
Your rating:
Six in the morning, police at my door Dead body on the floor from the night before I caught a murder rap cuz I bust a cap in the whore Left her body stanking on my bathroom floor Out the back door, cops seen who done it One homicide, now one man's wanted Mpb one eighty seven suspect's on the flee Six in the morning, it's a homicide ID They said her body's mutilated, can't get an ID Cuz I shot her in the face and took a hammer and bust out her teeth Now I'm the run with a gun and 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 concreate Now I got a court date, on my way up state 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 [Talking] Depression has settled deep inside of me For weeks now I cannot write I cannot relate to people I don't talk unless I am pressed to do so I usually am not pressed to do so As I approach the bench, my shackles drag 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 truth They ask me this and they ask me that Then the 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 victims parents said the cops should a killed me They asked me how do I plead I said not guilty They getting angry, they wanna hang me They called me the devil and throw 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 of my lies collide How do I plead to homicide (Guilty) (Guilty) (Guilty) SUCK MY MOTHERFUCKING DICK GRAB THAT BITCHES' ASS HO! SHANK THAT BITCH The eyewitness took the stand and said she saw me burning candles Then she heard a shot and my hand on the hammer's handle They seen blood and guts and called the cops soon And when they came, brain fragments all over the room The judge and jury looking at me like guilty Then one jumped up and said “Lock up the filthy basturd!” I'm like damn, can I get a goddamn break How much shit can one black man take But the judge was black, and a jew too All of em looking at you know who They asked me why did I do it, I said fuck you Show me a throat and I'm a cut through They say the killing was a satanic ritual Then they called me a sick individual I dropped my head and tried to plead insanity (As you can see, your honour, 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
