See, I was in handcuffs No one stood by my side No one to help me prove my charge was a lie Well, some prosecutor screams, "I'm a terrible guy" That I am guilty and I deserve twenty-five to life See, I lost my temper And the cop lost his cool A whole can of pepper spray Man, makin' me look like a fool And he started stompin' As I was gasping for air Already on the ground Man, I don't know That fight don't seem fair ♪ But with my pain came rage A light so bright I feel blind So I reach with my hands And a rock is what I do find He stops for a moment I gather my strength Just enough to swing quickly and put the rock right through his face ♪ And that's how it happened How he met his fate And how my left eye got burned out by the pepper spray Some called me a monster Things got super intense But I don't think I did nothin' wrong Your honor, I claim self-defense ♪ First, they talk to his cop friends And then they talk to his wife They all said the same thing He never hurt nothin' or no one in his whole life They made it seem pretty obvious That I was the one to blame Even my public defender Didn't have all that much to say The jury comes back in I try to look 'em all in the eyes Try to make 'em feel like takin' Another life, it don't make takin' The first one right And I hope that they realize I hope they truly understand Just how sorry I am things got so out of hand
