Killer

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 shit to me was out of order
News called you a killer
Never said you had a daughter
Never said you had a heart
Though it broke when you lost your father
You just another nigga who
Ain't graduate from Harvard
Man, you had it the hardest
But you kept pushing regardless

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, "Nigga 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 passed 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

'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
But on the phone a couple weeks ago
You told me some shit 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
Shit you never meant to do
