Honour Watkins - Not Guilty

I put my soul on these beats you be listening to my spirit
What ya hear bumping in yo speakers is me looking in the mirror
I’m still 10 toes for the ones who in attendance
If I left u where u at then I’m the one who should be offended
See I don't fold ion surrender
I just look to the sky
Say a prayer then I fight through the dilemma
I’m ready to die today but that’s not what I’m living for
I’m out here swimming with the sharks I ain’t on the pier on the shore
I'm out here taking chances shooting my shot on the court
And I’m sending niggas home if we ain’t on one accord
I ain’t playing wit u niggas this is not just a record
this is how I’m living until I’m stiffer than a board for the record
I came out the womb like he blessed he a Shepard
Niggas think dis shit sweet bih gon find out it’s pepper
I’ve been dragged through the mud my skin turned into leather
It’s been so many rainy days I can predict the weather
Now we own shit, done let go of the leases
Started reaching goals when I broke it into pieces
In tune with my soul
No I can never leave it
I let go of what wanted focused on what I needed
To tell the truth the shit was discouraging
But I went through that tunnel and came out a better version
Now they blow smoke in my face for a diversion
They talk hat shit on the book but won’t speak on it in person
Guilty till I’m proven innocent
Well fuck it I’ll be the bad guy, they always flip an inch into a mile
Guilty till I’m proven innocent
So I’ve been staying to myself
Cant even remember the last time I done smiled
Guilty till I’m proven innocent
Guilty till I’m proven innocent
They over look the evidence they still say I’m guilty
Like the scum of the earth, like I'm dirt like I’m filthy
How every time I’m right I’m still wrong
What’s the point, I swear I’m better off alone
I can’t even sleep in my home ain’t no peace in my dreams
So when I walk outside I keep that thang on me
Kids beings stole and being sold outta store
The playing a role I can’t prove it but I’m sure
Human trafficking ain’t nothing but slavery
They just changed the name bro this shit kinda crazy
Why this shit don’t amaze me
I was born black I fight the system on the daily
This shit out in the open there ain’t no need for no clues
And I never liked the way we was portrayed in the news
And I’m all in so I don’t mind if lose
What’s a battle to a war, you better not let me catch a groove
I’ve been paying tithes because real niggas pay niggas pay dues
As long as I’m alive I'm a step when I move
This is the state of my community
Send me to the chair, it ain’t no deal no immunity
They making money destroying kids for a gig
I ain’t selling out tell em feed me to the pigs
Tell my son that his daddy was that mutha fucking nigga
And he stood in the paint when everybody up and left
Tell my daughter that her daddy was that mutha fucking nigga
And he protected every woman till the day of his death
Tell my jits that their daddy wasn’t perfect and he didn’t like to listen
And instead of expressing how he felt all he did was kept his distance
But he never gave up until he laid in that casket
Tell them the world is yours and it’s gift wrapped in a basket
It don’t matter if I'm in the ground or I’m grounded into ashes
I’m still alive
I'm still breathing
Just let fuel up your passion
I’m your ancestor
I’m with until you're with me
I’m siting in yo spirit
In your bones
In yo kidney
Guilty till I’m proven innocent
Well fuck it I’ll be the bad guy
They always flip an inch into a mile
Guilty till I’m proven innocent
So I’ve been staying to myself
And it done been a lil minute since I done smiled
Guilty till I’m proven innocent
Guilty till I’m proven innocent
They over look the evidence they still say I’m guilty
Like the scum of the earth, like I'm dirt like I’m filthy
