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

I maintain my innocence, it's nothing but a coincidence

I'll admit it looks kind of shadey

from the outside looking in

The situation is serious but people don't comprehend

I was 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 using the lyrics against me when my trial gets ready to start

My songs are being misinterpritated

It ain't nothing but the D.A. trying to prove premeditated

They've got X-Raided stuck, majorly crossed up

The D.A. got a fucked up witness and my lawyer is a dump truck

I've been sitting in the county, three years have already went by

They're pressuring my Locs, trying to get them to testify

Snitching ain't no joke, it's hazardous to your health

When you point one finger at me, you're pointing three back at yourself

My homies got convicted for murder in the first degree

Ain't no doubt about it, they'll try to do worse to me

They take me in the court room in front of an all white jury

With the family looking me with barely concealed fury

My lawyer standing next to me, prepared to represent

And help me get convicted cause to him

I'm guilty till proven innocent...



Why they trying to give me deuce-5 to life?

They trying to give me 25 to life cause I'm guilty till proven innocent...



I open up the front page of the Sacramento Bee

And read the article that Dan McGrath wrote about me

He has his own opinion and it's his job to write it

I say he's being biased 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 is doomed

Any potential jurors mind is being contaminated

From reading all the bull they wrote about X-Raided

I never told anybody to go out kill somebody's folks

And blaming it all on me and

a song I wrote is a complete joke

They're looking for a move but they're looking in the dark

Putting a noose around my neck and a bullet in my heart

Just because I'm capable of killing doesn't mean I kill

And just because I'm capable of killing doesn't mean I will

I wish they all knew, how can I make you feel me?

X-Raided didn't do it but I've gotta ride cause I'm guilty till proven innocent...



Why they trying to give me deuce-5 to life?

They trying to give me 25 to life cause I'm guilty till proven innocent...



I'm knowing I'm going to end up in the pen

Fighting my appeal and hoping that I win

It's me and Baby Bread fighting this fucked up case

Like Dooney and B-Dub trying to get these years erased

In Sac there 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 Blocc to the fullest and riding like a soldier

I told you fools the X-Loc 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 that ass, bitch, it ain't nothing personal thang, it's just about survival

And I'm going to be 125 years old before I die

if I can help it

You made your threats and I felt it but I ain't dead yet

So you niggas talking about

what you're going to do when you see me

I'll be on the weights, wearing state boots and a beanie

I wish I didn't have to be this way but it's reality

So I'm strapped based on the fact

I'm guilty till proven innocent...



Why they trying to give me deuce-5 to life?

They trying to give me 25 to life

cause I'm guilty till proven innocent...
