Esham - How Do I Plead to Homicide? lyrics

Six in the morning, police at my door

Dead body on the floor from the night before

I caught a murder rap cuz I bust a cap in the whore

Left her body stanking on my bathroom floor

Out the back door, cops seen who done it

One homicide, now one man's wanted

Mpb one eighty seven suspect's on the flee

Six in the morning, it's a homicide ID

They said her body's mutilated, can't get an ID

Cuz I shot her in the face and took a hammer and bust out her teeth

Now I'm the run with a gun and sledge hammer

Thinking to myself, I'll be damned if I'm in the slammer

Ran down a dead end street here comes the heat

Next thing you know I got my face in the concreate

Now I got a court date, on my way up state

Prosecuting attorney waiting for my fate

Thirty questions are asked, and thirty answers are lies

And as the judge and jury looks on, how do I plead to homicide

[Talking]

Depression has settled deep inside of me

For weeks now I cannot write I cannot relate to people

I don't talk unless I am pressed to do so

I usually am not pressed to do so

As I approach the bench, my shackles drag across the floor

(Where were you on the night in question?) At the liqour store

They wanted me to tell the truth and nothin' but the truth

I'll tell the truth only if you got truth

They ask me this and they ask me that

Then the switch the stuff up and ask the same shit right back

But I got my shit together, I'm too clever

(Have you ever worshipped the devil?) No, never

I said it once I said it twice, I said it three times

Then they pulled my file and found all sorts of crimes

The victims parents said the cops should a killed me

They asked me how do I plead I said not guilty

They getting angry, they wanna hang me

They called me the devil and throw holy water on me

Order in the court, it's getting out of hand

They got an eyewitness and she's about to take the stand

Now I start to panic, the truth of my lies collide

How do I plead to homicide

(Guilty) (Guilty) (Guilty)

SUCK MY MOTHERFUCKING DICK

GRAB THAT BITCHES' ASS HO!

SHANK THAT BITCH

The eyewitness took the stand and said she saw me burning candles

Then she heard a shot and my hand on the hammer's handle

They seen blood and guts and called the cops soon

And when they came, brain fragments all over the room

The judge and jury looking at me like guilty

Then one jumped up and said “Lock up the filthy basturd!”

I'm like damn, can I get a goddamn break

How much shit can one black man take

But the judge was black, and a jew too

All of em looking at you know who

They asked me why did I do it, I said fuck you

Show me a throat and I'm a cut through

They say the killing was a satanic ritual

Then they called me a sick individual

I dropped my head and tried to plead insanity

(As you can see, your honour, he's a threat to humanity)

With no emotion in my face I saw her family cry

And since I'm guilty that's how I'm pleading to homicide
