I Lied
Beanie Sigel Jadakiss French Montana Dj Khaled Meek Mill Lyrics

I know I told you I stopped slanging yay, strapped everyday
Even though I claimed to have stopped selling drugs, I still carry a gun with me at all times.

I lied, I lied, I lied
I am admitting to lying about quitting selling drugs and carrying a gun.

All the hoes say I'm fucking, every time I said I wasn't, only you that I be fucking
I have been dishonest about my sexual relationships with multiple women, except for the one I am currently seeing.

Nah I ain't seen nothing, nah I ain't hear nothing, want to talk to my lawyer
I am refusing to give any information to the police and will only speak with my lawyer.

I swear to tell the truth, nothing but the whole truth with my hand on the Bible
I am taking an oath to tell the complete truth regarding my situation in court.

And I swear to tell the truth, nothing but the whole truth with my hand on the Bible
I am reaffirming my vow to tell the complete truth during my court case.

I swear I swore to tell the truth, nothing but the whole truth
I emphasize that I truly promise to be honest and transparent throughout my court testimony.

And I got up on that podium and lied
Despite my vow to tell the truth, I still ended up lying while on the witness stand.

Then the coppers swore to tell the truth nothing but the whole truth
The police officers also took an oath to tell the whole truth while testifying in court.

And he got up on that podium and cried
The police officer who testified ended up crying during his testimony.

Said I tried to take his life
The officer claimed that I had attempted to kill him.

And the judge ain't take my side
Unfortunately, the judge ruled against me in my case.

'Cause when you black them risk is high to beat that case against them odds
As a black person, it is very difficult to win a court case against the odds and prejudices that come with being black.

Against them guys, with your last bit of money for your lawyer
Trying to win a case against powerful opponents with limited money for legal representation is a tough battle.

My heart dropped when I seen him hit the corner
I became anxious when I saw him turn the corner.

They was in the black Taurus, Dodge Charger, Explorer
The police were driving black cars including a Taurus, Dodge Charger, and Explorer.

Beat me to the ground and used my blood to mop the floor
The police brutally attacked me and used my blood to clean the floor.

But I'mma hold the water like it was holy water
I will cherish something, even if it is just a cup of water, in times of need.

Informants told informants how we had it and they swarmed us, they caught us
Word of mouth spread about our actions and led authorities to capture us.

Only swear by Allah, so when approached by them folks
My allegiance lies only with my religious beliefs, so I am cautious around law enforcement officials.

I spit the truth when I swore under oath
I remained truthful during my court oath when I was asked questions.

Shit, 'cause I don't take the stand on niggas
I refuse to testify against others in court.

I rather give it to that man up close
I would rather handle any confrontations or disputes directly with someone instead of exposing them in court.

Blocka, blocka
The sound of gunshots.

I told my cellie in the jail I wouldn't rap no more
I promised my cellmate in prison that I would stop rapping.

See you when they free you cuz 'cause I ain't coming back no more
I will not return to prison once I am released and will reunite with my cellmate outside of prison.

Wifey on the highway with them kids driving back and forth
My wife is driving on the freeway with our children to visit me in jail.

Knowing if a nigga violate that I be back in court
I am aware that if I break any rules or laws, I will be sent back to court or even to jail.

Reside in somebody's federal estate
I currently live in a federal facility, such as a prison or detention center.

Niggas jumping on your case is worst than First 48
Having people accuse and criticize you is worse than being on a popular television show about police investigations.

I seen a rat stand up on his case that wish he told
I witnessed someone who betrayed their allies by testifying in court.

Come on a pill and give a nigga a will
Referring to taking a drug to gain courage and face difficult situations.

It was we vs. them vs. three then ten
Initially, it was a few people against a larger group, but then the numbers grew.

Swore I'd never re again but I lied, I lied
I promised that I would never return to illegal activities, but I lied and went back to drug dealing.

Now the package is enormous
The amount of drugs I possess is now significantly larger.

And that come with informants
The large amount of drugs comes with the threat of being betrayed by someone who will inform the authorities.

We already kinda hot so it's stupid to keep it on us
Since we are already being monitored by the police, it is not wise to keep the drugs in our possession.

We just being hard headed
We are being stubborn and refuse to listen to advice or warnings.

Disregarding the drop
We are ignoring the possibility of being caught or searched by the police.

Then they bagged him in the cab and brought him back to the spot
The police caught and arrested someone after they exited a taxi and brought them back to where we were.

Found six p's of piffy a little under fifty
The police discovered six packages of marijuana that totaled about 50 dollars.

That little bit of bread make the relationship shifty
Such a small amount of money caused tension and suspicion between me and my associates.

And it's all my fault he still tryna to convince me
I caused the situation and my associate is still trying to convince me that it is my fault.

I miss my goddaughter I wonder if she miss me
I miss my goddaughter and am uncertain if she misses me in return.

Birthdays and Christmas I ain't never missed it
I have never failed to acknowledge or attend my goddaughter's birthdays or Christmas celebrations.

Her dad is my brother I love him from a distance
My goddaughter's father is my brother, but I keep my distance from him.
