Duece-5 to Life - X-Raided

Yeah

X-raided loc

back up in this bitch

Nigga

I aint dead yet

Deat yet

187, gang related, I’m accused

after every court date my face is on the news

They say I wrote a song about a murder I commited

maintain innocence, nothing but a coincidence

I admit it looks shadey

from the outside looking in

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

And they’re gonna use the lyrics against me

When my trial is ready to start

My words are being misinterpritated

Nothing but the D.A.

trying to prove premeditated

They’ve got the Raided stuck, majorly crossed up

The D.A.

got a fucked up witness and my lawyer is a truck

Sitting in the county, and three years already went by

Pressuring my homies, trying to get them to testify

Snitching 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 murder in the first degree

Ain’t no doubt about it, they gonna do much worse than me

Take me in the court room in front of an all white jury

Family looking me with barely concealed fury

Lawyer standing next to me, but scared to represent

Helped me get convicted cause to him,

I’m guilty till proven innocent…

Why they wanna give me 25 life

They trying give me deuce 5 to life

Open up the front page of the Sacramento Bee

Read the article that Dan McGrath wrote about me

He has his own opinion

It’s his job to write it

I say he’s being blind 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 has been doomed

Any potential jurors mind is being contaminated

Reading all the bull shit that they wrote about X-Raided

I never told nobody to go out kill somebody’s folks

Blaming it all on me

And a song I wrote is a complete joke

They’re looking for a murderer searching in the gardens

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

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

Just because I’m capable of killing doesn’t mean I will

Wish the family knew, gotta find a way to make them feel me

I didn’t do it but I’ve gotta ride cause I’m guilty till proven innocent…

Why they wanna give me 25 life

They trying give me deuce 5 to life

Cuzz im guilty to proven innocent

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 D-Dub trying to get these years erased

In Sac 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 Hood to the fullest and riding like a soldier

I told you fools I 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 yo ass, bitch, it ain’t nothing personal thang, it’s just about survival

I’m going to 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

All ya niggas are talking about

What you’re going to do when you see me

I’ll be on the Weights, wearing State Boots and my Beanie

I wish I didn’t have to be this way

But in reality

I’m strapped based on the fact

I’m guilty till proven innocent…

Why they wanna give me 25 life

They trying give me deuce 5 to life

Cuzz im guilty to proven innocent
