Deuce-5 to Life - X-Raided.mp3

[00:13.65]187, gang related, I'm accused
[00:15.36]And after every court date my face is on the news
[00:18.00]They say I wrote a song about a murder
[00:20.94]I maintain my innocence, it's nothing but a coincidence
[00:23.91]I'll admit it looks kind of shadey
[00:25.50]From the outside looking in
[00:27.12]The situation is serious but people don't comprehend
[00:30.63]I was 17 years young back in '92
[00:33.54]Facing 25 to life for something I didn't do
[00:35.34]My song is supposed to be a big admission on my part
[00:38.07]And they're using the lyrics against me when my trial gets ready to start
[00:41.01]My songs are being misinterpritated
[00:42.72]It ain't nothing but the D.A. trying to prove premeditated
[00:45.96]They've got X-Raided stuck, majorly crossed up
[00:48.69]The D.A. got a ****ed up witness and my lawyer is a dump truck
[00:51.54]I've been sitting in the county, three years have already went by
[00:54.09]They're pressuring my Locs, trying to get them to testify
[00:57.42]Snitching ain't no joke, it's hazardous to your health
[00:59.88]When you point one finger at me, you're pointing three back at yourself
[01:02.79]My homies got convicted for murder in the first degree
[01:05.67]Ain't no doubt about it, they'll try to do worse to me
[01:08.37]They take me in the court room in front of an all white jury
[01:11.07]With the family looking me with barely concealed fury
[01:13.92]My lawyer standing next to me, prepared to represent
[01:16.68]And help me get convicted cause to him
[01:18.69]I'm guilty till proven innocent...
[01:20.58]Why they trying to give me deuce-5 to life?
[01:22.53]They trying to give me 25 to life cause I'm guilty till proven innocent...
[01:41.94]I open up the front page of the Sacramento Bee
[01:44.52]And read the article that Dan McGrath wrote about me
[01:47.28]He has his own opinion and it's his job to write it
[01:50.13]I say he's being biased and completly one sided
[01:52.83]The media write their stories for the public to consume
[01:55.41]And any chance I have of getting a fair trial in Sac is doomed
[01:58.68]Any potential jurors mind is being contaminated
[02:01.17]From reading all the bull they wrote about X-Raided
[02:04.11]I never told anybody to go out kill somebody's folks
[02:06.93]And blaming it all on me and
[02:07.95]A song I wrote is a complete joke
[02:09.63]They're looking for a move but they're looking in the dark
[02:12.48]Putting a noose around my neck and a bullet in my heart
[02:15.27]Just because I'm capable of killing doesn't mean I kill
[02:17.97]And just because I'm capable of killing doesn't mean I will
[02:22.26]I wish they all knew, how can I make you feel me?
[02:23.91]X-Raided didn't do it but I've gotta ride cause I'm guilty till proven innocent...
[02:27.24]Why they trying to give me deuce-5 to life?
[02:29.49]They trying to give me 25 to life cause I'm guilty till proven innocent...
[02:49.35]I'm knowing I'm going to end up in the pen
[02:51.57]Fighting my appeal and hoping that I win
[02:54.36]It's me and Baby Bread fighting this ****ed up case
[02:57.12]Like Dooney and B-Dub trying to get these years erased
[02:59.82]In Sac there ain't no love when you're from the Garden Blocc
[03:02.58]Maniac, C-Mooney, Baby Snake and Lil' Venom already got washed
[03:05.46]I'm trying to keep my head up but my load is getting heavy
[03:08.31]It makes me want to do like Sicx: take some Tylenol and get it over with
[03:10.86]But instead I just maintain and do everything to keep my composure
[03:13.92]Representing the Blocc to the fullest and riding like a soldier
[03:16.62]I told you fools the X-Loc ain't going out like the average
[03:19.53]I didn't kill your folks but if you run up then I gotta loc up like a savage
[03:22.68]On that ass, bitch, it ain't nothing personal thang, it's just about survival
[03:26.58]And I'm going to be 125 years old before I die
[03:29.91]If I can help it
[03:30.93]You made your threats and I felt it but I ain't dead yet
[03:33.99]So you niggas talking about
[03:35.04]What you're going to do when you see me
[03:36.69]I'll be on the weights, wearing state boots and a beanie
[03:39.45]I wish I didn't have to be this way but it's reality
[03:42.12]So I'm strapped based on the fact
[03:43.89]I'm guilty till proven innocent...
[03:45.36]Why they trying to give me deuce-5 to life?
[03:56.70]They trying to give me 25 to life
[03:57.66]Cause I'm guilty till proven innocent...
