Criminal Mind

Now just imagine chilling with your family and laughing
Rapping, had a big dream of going platinum (but shit happens)
Things get tough with the label
And you did what you had to put food on the table

Beautiful wife and four wonderful kids
A bunch of homeboys that ain't got shit
With the weight of the world on your shoulders, it collapses
The only way to break that weight is start trapping

Seven long years since you caught your last charges
You don't want to do it, but your family is back to starving
Your best friend says that he's got you regardless
Cuffs and cufflinks and that's how it started

I stand accused before you (yeah)
I have no tears to cry
(Rather be judged by 12 than cared by six)
I stand accused before you (yeah)
I have no tears to cry
(Rather be judged by 12 than cared by six)

It's so hard when everyone you know is out there struggling
And the only way that you can help'em is by hustling
What would you do if you was a leader?
And did all the wrong things for the right reason
You judge it by its heart or what's about
If what he does help so many people out
Early one day he got a call on the phone
That he couldn't leave alone, so we got on the road

And when he pulled inside the parking lot that night
He had a got feeling something just wasn't just right
It happened so fast that he couldn't believe
He was surrounded be lights and all he heard was freeze
A miscommunication, it seems unclear
The judge told him he was facing 30 years
His wife there crying, he said, "Baby, don't sweat it"
She said, "Baby, I'm pregnant"

I stand accused before you (yeah)
I have no tears to cry
(Rather be judged by 12 than cared by six)
I stand accused before you (yeah)
I have no tears to cry
(Rather be judged by 12 than cared by six)

All I, my criminal
This is the story, of one man struggle for freedom (mind-)
Hold your head up, big brah (criminal)
This is for everybody out there in the struggle going through something
This is for everybody fighting cases right now
We feel your pain
And we praying for y'all
