Oh! somebody done done me wrong, done me wrong
Eyes to the ceiling all night long (all night long)
Time is slippin' away from me (away from me)
And it ain't no tellin' when I get home (I get home)

[Intro]
If your fam locked up and you sick of the law
Take these bars to the visiting flaw
Hurry up before they imprison us all
Welcome to Law Library Part 4

[Verse 1]
Homicide. Put down your gun for a while
If it's a full moon listen to sun for a while
The definition of homicide is the conduct
That causes the death of another person or a unborn child
I send these words to a mother if her sons on trial
Food for thought, no more chow
If you intend to cause physical injury to a person and you kill 'em
That's not a murder, that's a lesson charged sub-division
1 Paragraph A. We should all learn this
If you catch a body under emotional disturbance
That does not constitute murder. So you gotta chance
Cause it constitutes a medicating circumstance
Temporary insanity if your lawyer is in order
You could have a murder charge reduced to a man-slaughter
Cop out to a dime 15 years shorter
Or you could end up with a quarter. To life
[Hook]
How did I get life?
Life life (oh oh yeah), life life (talk to me), life life (oh oh)
Life life (how did I get life?), life life (tell me)
Life life (oh oh yeah), life life (ohh...), life life...

[Verse 2]
You just a pawn. I ain't talking about where you sell your jewelery
Or a small lake where water be flowing fluidly
Life is like a game of chess
My next move'll be? Law Library Part 4
Cause truthfully, a person getting murdered or killed
Nothing new to me. Kids reaching for guns before they reach puberty
But whether it's me shooting you... or you shooting me
It's still black on black crime. Where is the unity?
Homicide police swarming through the community
They locking up you and me
Cause they only gotta prove 3 things to get a conviction
Follow through with me. That's the motive the intent and the opportunity
Motive: That mean you had a reason to kill
Intent: You intended to kill 'em did it at will
Opportunity: This the most important and why? They place you at the scene
If you don't give 'em a alibi

[Hook]
How did I get life?
Life life (oh oh yeah), life life (talk to me), life life (oh oh)
Life life (how did I get life?), life life (tell me)
Life life (oh oh yeah), life life (ohh...), life life...
[Verse 3]
A murder charge doesn't mean defeat
Some say through the technicalities its the easiest thing to beat
Follow me through the court system I'm leading you out
They gotta prove you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt
It's an affirmative defense out blatant
So if you start explaining, give a reasonable explanation
Reasonableness of which is to be determined from the viewpoint of a person
In a defending situation
Suspended license, crash you'll make your life shorter
They could charge you with vehicular man-slaughter
Criminal negligence they both go aside
They call it criminally negligent homicide
I'm streetwise, that's why I give you advice
So you don't stay incarcerated for your natural life
My next chapter is to the politicians
Article 490. Terrorism
