The Trial
L.E.G.A.C.Y. Lyrics

Well junior, while all that
Hey, junior, while all the commotion is happening outside, inside the courtroom it's actually the complete opposite - very quiet and dismal.

Is going on outside, on the inside it is the
While there's chaos happening outside, inside the courtroom it's calm and still.

Exact opposite very quiet very
In fact, it's the complete opposite - extremely quiet and somber.

Dismal it seems they are
It gives off a depressing vibe, and it appears that they are

Going to proceed with
Going to continue with

The trial the trail of LEGACY aKA Son
The trial, the legal process for LEGACY also known as Son

Of Sam is being tried for the
Of Sam is being tried for the alleged

Murder of Regina Angela Phillips things are
Murder of Regina Angela Phillips. It's an intense situation.

About to get underway now oh
About to begin now, oh

Oh Leg's entering the courtroom
Oh, LEGACY is now entering the courtroom

Day one
The first day of the trial

Slid in the court like "What the fuck now?"
Entered the court with a nonchalant attitude as if saying, 'What's the problem now?'

I look a Nervous Wreck duck Down
I appear visibly anxious and nervous, trying to hide my anxiety.

Beside my attorney saying my
Next to my lawyer, whispering

Prayers like confessions they wanna burn me
Praying fervently, almost like confessing my sins, as they want to condemn me.

Hit me with the chair like wrestling
Threatening to attack me with a chair, just like in professional wrestling.

Splattered bleeding and shit
Covered in blood and wounded

Wouldn't matter if I'm pleading the 5th
Doesn't make a difference if I invoke the Fifth Amendment, refusing to answer questions.

Take the stand, damn right I RIP'd the bitch
When I take the witness stand, I will truthfully admit that I killed her.

Been trying to since 3rd Degree and shit
I've been attempting to justify my actions since I was accused in the third degree.

I Used To Love HER when my Sense was Common
I used to have strong feelings for HER when I had a sense of rationality.

I had to cut her, started to resent the drama
I had to end the relationship and began to despise the unnecessary conflicts

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury she made me
Members of the jury, she influenced me

Ignition of the fury
Triggering intense anger within me

Her back turned, I grew angry
When she turned her back on me, my anger intensified

I whacked her, how could you blame me?
I violently struck her, can you really fault me for it?

She tried to change me
She attempted to alter who I am as a person

At the club tried to champagne me
She tried to manipulate me with fancy gifts and drinks at the club

That really ain't me that can't be
That's not the real me, that's not who I am

And now you people wanna hang me uh
And now everyone wants to condemn me, huh

I heard 'em they want me to fail
I've overheard people hoping for my downfall

For murder they want me in jail
They desire imprisonment for the crime I've been accused of

Give him the chair they want me in Hell
They want to administer the electric chair and send me to Hell

Truth or dare they want me to tell
They want me to testify, revealing the truth or facing consequences

Day two, LEG on the stand please understand
On the second day of the trial, LEGACY is on the witness stand, requesting understanding

I grew up on her, she made me sick
I was raised with a strong connection to HER, but now she disgusts me

I damn near threw up on her
I almost vomited in her presence

I vomited my consciousness
I expelled my deepest thoughts and emotions

Words raged more brutal
My words became increasingly aggressive and harsh

Yo, I gave more to you
I provided so much for HER

More memories than I could recollect
Countless memories that I can't even recall

Have war with the industry, no regrets
I've engaged in a battle with the music industry, and I don't regret it

What if something you believed in
What if something you strongly believed in

Started deceiving?
Began betraying you?

I thought and ate crazy shit
I had disturbing thoughts and ideas

Lost my faith like atheists
I lost my trust and belief, similar to how atheists lack faith

I did shows for her switched flows for her
I performed in concerts for HER and altered my style for HER

Stepped up my graffiti just for
I enhanced my graffiti skills solely for

Her to leave me i felt abandoned for real
HER to ultimately leave me, and I genuinely felt deserted

Your honor I had to kill
Your honor, I had no choice but to kill

I sliced quick, heart cold when it ended
I swiftly and cold-heartedly ended her life

Word up, Khrysis, my co-defended
Word up, Khrysis, my co-defendant

Eventually he took the stand
Eventually, he also testified

The trial of the century the Son Of Sam
The highly significant trial of the century, featuring the accused Son Of Sam

Day three the prosecution
On the third day, the prosecution

Went for the heart, goin' for execution
Attacked my core, aiming for my ultimate conviction

They ripped me apart
They tore me apart emotionally

Mr harper we know about DL
Mr. Harper, we are aware of DL

In '99 he helped with 13
In 1999, he assisted in 13

Attempted murders on a bootleg
Attempted murders related to an illegal recording

We heart it, we know it's true Leg
We heard the rumors, we know it's true, LEGACY

Then you tried to rape and kill rap
Then you attempted to ruin and destroy rap music

On K-Hill tracks we know all about it
On K-Hill tracks, we are fully aware of what you've done

Even shine on those that doubted
You even targeted and attacked those who doubted you

We staked out and watched you
We monitored and observed your actions

Made ham now we got you
We gathered the evidence and now we have you

The Son Of Sam is too dope
The Son Of Sam is extremely skilled

Plus we want Tommy Two Coats
And we also want to catch Tommy Two Coats

Together you're too dangerous
The two of you together pose a significant threat

Better than true angel dust
Even more potent and powerful than actual angel dust

Everybody want the high now
Everyone desires the thrill and excitement now

Well, you're gonna fry now
Well, now you're going to face the consequences

Were his last words and with my last urge
Those were his final words, and with my final plea

I faced the jury they glazed through me
I looked at the jury, but they looked right through me with indifference

I bowed my head to 'em
I lowered my head in submission to them

Address the crowd and I said to 'em
Speaking to the audience, I said to them

"Yo she had to be murked
"Hey, she had to be executed

So hip hop could come back
So that the true essence of hip hop could be restored

It's kinda like a rebirth
It's like a rejuvenation, a fresh start

Yeah I killed her but she killed me first
Yes, I ended her life, but she was the one who destroyed me first

What the fuck though, feel me? I'm scarred"
What the hell, understand me? I'm deeply wounded and marked"

Then the judge spoke guilty as charged
After my statement, the judge declared me guilty as accused
