[Intro: News Reporters]
[Verse 1: Lexii Alijai]
Look
I hate that fact they got you going down for murder
I know accidents happen and you never meant to hurt her
She was beaten, she'd be screaming
Man, somebody would've heard her
Evidence was never cleared
That sh** to me was out of order
News called you a k**er, never said you had a daughter
Never said you had a heart, though it broke when you lost your father
You just another n***a who ain't graduate from Harvard
Man, you had it the hardest but you kept pushing regardless
Look
But you was drunk
Nobody was comprehending
Throwing water, tryna wake her up
"Carolyn, stop pretending!"
Then you froze, wishing it wasn't true
Tears rushing down your face
You like, "n***a what did you do?"
You was scared, hopped in the back seat of the taxi
Cops was bending the block so you told 'em to hit the back streets
I would've done the same exact thing if you asked me
Said we'd go to the studio, and that was the last thing I ever heard from you
5 months pa**ed until I heard another word from you
You said we'd go tomorrow 'bout 11
But who'd have thought tomorrow at 11
You'd be facing 27
Damn
You'd be facing 27
[Verse 2: Lexii Alijai]
Look
'Couple hour before it popped off
Before you got dropped off
You was sitting in your room
I asked a question, then I walked off
Like, "Uncle Brent, can you take me to the studio?"
You told me you had plans
But in the morning, me and you can go
I said, "Okay,"
I was a little mad with you, not knowing this was the last conversation I'd have with you
I would have laughed with you
Tried to make it last with you
Now you're gone and truth be told
I have missed you
Look
But on the phone a couple weeks ago
You told me some sh** you said you always wanted me to know
You said, "I remember you was letting me know, you wanted to go to the studio. You let it be known, but I just wish you would've begged me to go, or shown me a couple of raps instead of letting me go,"
Damn
So now I vent to you, every letter I send to you
I'ma be riding with you 'til your sentence due
I meant it too
I'm just playing til the end is due
People say they're by your side
But they're lying that's what pretenders do
I hope the devil never entered you
Cause now you doing time over some sh** you never meant to do
