[00:00.00] Plead The Fifth - Zion I/The Grouch/Codany Holiday/Fashawn/Casual
[00:16.76] Said I don't know it wasn't me
[00:22.36] I plead the fifth
[00:23.36] All quiet in the court now
[00:25.43] Please take a seat
[00:26.59] Face the judge who presides
[00:28.08] In the courthouse
[00:29.40] Prosecution to the stand
[00:31.30] In the next case
[00:32.49] Big business vs woman and man
[00:34.94] Now this includes the rule
[00:36.42] Of pharmaceuticals
[00:37.83] Medicines approved to use
[00:39.46] But they just neuter you
[00:40.86] Mask the symptoms
[00:42.17] But they don't treat the root
[00:43.77] Of the problem
[00:44.92] The object hide the truth
[00:46.84] Mass addiction go get
[00:48.20] Your prescription
[00:49.46] Ritalin' or vicodin'
[00:50.54] There's something for
[00:51.42] The life your in
[00:52.39] D**e pusher with a phd
[00:54.74] Synthetic warfare on your chi
[00:57.03] Come follow me
[00:58.23] It's for the jury
[00:59.16] Plus the mamas and the babies
[01:00.86] Sometimes I look around
[01:01.80] It's like we all plum crazy
[01:04.08] Motring so the pain
[01:05.66] Can float away
[01:06.83] And I complain but
[01:07.96] I'm the same they addicted me
[01:09.79] To the numb out
[01:10.91] At times I want to dumb out
[01:12.31] I try to speak the truth
[01:13.62] In the booth spit a lung out
[01:15.46] It's business read the quotes
[01:17.09] In the fine print
[01:18.46] The corporates stand accused
[01:20.06] What you plead
[01:20.61] I plead the fifth
[01:25.95] Said I don't know it wasn't me
[01:31.72] I plead the fifth
[01:33.11] I plead the fifth I know my rights
[01:35.23] Ain't no justice it's just ice so what's right
[01:38.29] And what's wrong sometimes I feel like f life
[01:41.24] It's like the door to opportunity done shut tight
[01:44.30] Back to baggin' crack mathematics
[01:46.76] Trying to keep it intact while this economy's collapsin'
[01:49.78] While we swallowin' klonopin's and aspirin
[01:52.92] Drowning in disaster we're frowning; while they're laughing
[01:55.91] It's astoundin' how it happens especially to young black men
[01:58.82] Get us in they trappers mentally it's a massacre
[02:01.47] And as far as the judicial system it is inaccurate
[02:04.55] Political savages fill up prisons like
[02:06.74] So it's me against the system me against the world
[02:10.15] Risk my freedom just to feed my little girl only reason
[02:12.60] So you know what amendment I'm pleadin'
[02:15.48] Remember I'm a heathen death before dishonor
[02:18.10] Repeat it
[02:31.09] Jury asking me why I drive a gas hog
[02:33.60] Why I'd ask the shop to lie so I could pass smog
[02:36.65] The earth's hurt I know the repercussions
[02:39.20] And so do y'all we need some deep discussion
[02:42.19] She keeps sufferin' and we keep hustling
[02:45.03] Even if it means other beings take a
[02:48.13] I'm leakin' substance but reakin' of a stench
[02:50.83] I can't stand myself y'all stinkin' up the bench too
[02:54.19] It's just the evil that men do
[02:56.50] Murderin' our mother for greed and the ends soon
[02:59.41] If we don't switch our please to guilty and then change
[03:02.41] It ain't enough to know better and just say
[03:07.37] I plead the fifth
[03:13.05] Said I don't know it wasn't me
[03:18.77] I plead the fifth
[03:24.67] Said I don't know it wasn't me
[03:30.32] I plead the fifth
[03:34.25] Catalog the chronicles honorably your honor
[03:36.70] I done learned to keep my karma right
[03:38.71] Armalite ar
[03:40.26] And all my life I done said it before
[03:42.39] I done beat the law I'm tariq the moor
[03:45.30] The streets it seems that they're ready to talk
[03:48.05] I can't relate the dream state makes everything seem fake
[03:51.16] Your body into gas as fast as cremation
[03:54.24] I feel elation erasin' freebasin' freemason's
[03:57.47] A true friend I blow herb
[04:00.24] Medu nen that's no words
[04:02.72] And the crews like goldy in the realm of the rosi
[04:05.76] While the chicks try and hold me like composure
[04:08.39] All the little stories your telling
[04:10.13] Irrelevant you're lying
[04:11.74] Intelligent design the alien invasion
[04:14.59] Stress I got greys
[04:15.94] Now I had the barber hit the line with the razor
[04:18.92] Rehearsal homie he late
[04:20.91] But the verse gon' be great
[04:22.47] Who plead the fifth
[04:23.76] Ya'll speakin' the first 48
[04:31.34] I plead the fifth
