"ON TRIAL"
A texascity and Tuck Collaboration


  Tuck:

THINK 4 YEARS AGO I BE LOCKED DOWN IN PRISON
I PLEA NOT GUILTY BUT ITS NOT MY DECISION
STADIN LOOKIN OUT TO AN ALL WHITE JURY
THINKIN THIS A DREAM CAUSE MY VISION GETTIN BLURY
ARMED ROBBERY PLUS THEY THROW IN ASAULT
INNOCENT I PLEA BUT THEY JUDGE SAY ITS MY FAULT
WHEN YA HANDLE YA BUISNESS OUT HERE
DON'T GET CAUGHT
BUISNESS IS BUISNESS BUT WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
A LOTTA OF CROOKED ASS LAWS,A LOTTA WITNESS
DON'T FORGET THESE SNAKES THEY CALL SNITCHES
LORD,FORBID THEY SOUL
ANY NIGGA A WITH BIG MOUTH GONE SEE A LOTTA HOLES
MAKE YA MOVE RIGHT LIKE A GAME OF CHECKERS
IM FREE AND CLEAN NOW BUT IT SAY THE OPOSITE ON MY RECORD
I CALL MY FAMILY,SPEND TIME WITH MY KIDS FOR A WHILE
WHO KNOWS THE NEXT TIME I BE ON TRIAL

  texascity:

Sitting in this courtroom
My hands and feet share
These chains.
I see they let my boy free
But they aint going to do me the same.

15 to life...
Father forgive me for what I did.
I didnt know that when
They pulled the trigger
That bullet was going to hit that kid.

They ran off
But I aint saying no names.
I knew what the consequences
Were
When I took the oath to be in the game.

My family wants me to let it out
But they dont understand
What my heart is all about.

Death before dishonor
Is the motto I live by.
I wont let this get to me
But I cant stand to see my family cry.

Trail is set
Damn its on my birthday.
The only gift I want now
Is to be free and walk away.

Images of the boy
Circle around in my head.
I wish that moment never happened.
But it still wouldnt bring back the dead.

  Tuck:

BRING BACK THE DEAD LIKE A COUPLE OF ZOMBIES
IN A ROOM WITH SOME WHITE BOYS WHO DON'T WEAR AMBERCROMBIES
BLACK SUIT N TIES,AND THEY TELLIN ME TO SPEAK UP
A BUNCH OF ROOKIES...
IF THEY THINK IMA TALK THEY BETTA DO ME LIKE THEY DID TOOKIE
CLOSE MY EYES IN SORROW LIKE ITS OVER
GOOD THANG IS I HAD A GOOD LAWYER
REAL LIFE MONOPOLY
GET OUT OF JAIL FOR FREE CARD
A NEW LIFE,A NEW START,PLAY IT SMART
DON'T TRY TO BE HARD
PRAY EVERY NIGHT THAT I NEVER SEE THE HOLE
LIFE IS IRREPLACEABLE LIKE BEYONCE KNOWLES
ON TRIAL...
IM GONE
