My fathers in prison
When he got locked i ain't miss him
His trial went fast that dna match
Was the reason i couldn't testify
They said it coulda been me
So they put my ass on standby
I had to wait and see
He told me: im not guilty
Henrico jail i used to visit, speeding over the bridge
To the county at a rate of contradiction
It was risky, my conscience slowly twisted
In the wind just like the weed smoke
While i questioned my existence
How can i win?
The frayed relationship he and my mother had
Well my brother he had another dad
But wеll, you know what
Forget it, whatever man
In thosе days i was so angry
Somehow, never mad
The hardest part was lookin into his eyes
Knowin that where we sat meant we ain't stand no chance
He and i
Who am i?
He said: im not guilty
But why am i?
(hook)
Where will you go?
(what)
Who will you be?
(will)
What will you do?
When you lose everything?
(huh?)
Where will you go?
(what)
Who will you be?
(will)
What will you do?
When you lose everything?
(huh?)
(verse 2)
Everhart gave me the tape
I sat in my kitchen with a plate
Watched my pops get ate
But i never lost faith
What i been through
Enough tramua to make a menu
What that give you
All these rhymes, i fill a venue
They said they hired him not to win
But defend, i comprehended
Cuz this was the type of story that ended
As soon as it beginned then
They offered a deal
My pops said hed rather appeal
If convicted, fuck it
Do what thy will, will thy what do
When in the courtoom the joke is on you
Without any tears i sat in the rear
I watched fears come true
The sentence was life
The verdict was guilty
System is filthy
Shit coulda killed me
Stead it just built me
Now they just feel me
Book then they bill me
Still i feel guilty, really
