Lyrics

[00:01.57] walk She into the court her knees buckle
[00:03.71] Saying for a man to survive he needn't hustle
[00:06.45] Seen and been through struggle her whole life
[00:08.98] Made a transition from being his ho to his wife
[00:12.16]
[00:12.91] Stifling, the night upend the ATF bust in
[00:16.69] Her daddy was a hustla so she love them
[00:19.69] Looked at the jury how can they judge him, she screamed
[00:22.91] Before you lock my love away, before you lock my love away
[00:26.90]
[00:28.42] Before you lock my love away, before lock you my love away
[00:33.67] Please let me testify
[00:35.05] Fear in her chest her face in tears, had her mans back he was facing years
[00:39.84] In her name though the place was his
[00:42.17] They trying to take everything except the kids
[00:45.49] But years she been through stumbling fights
[00:48.41] While he trying to hustle that white
[00:50.53] Up all night wondering if hes alive
[00:53.62] Seeing him tried she bubbled inside and screamed
[00:56.16] Before you lock my love away, before you lock my love away
[01:01.46] Before you lock my love away, before you lock my love away
[01:06.76] Please let me testify
[01:08.57] The judge called for order the court reporter makin her words shorter
[01:11.70] His lawyer sat next to him, she could see how the trial was affecting him
[01:17.32] It hurt for her eyes to connect with him, using her lies for protecting him
[01:22.77] They arrested him for murder, and gun possession
[01:26.23] As they read back her confession she screamed
[01:29.17] Before you lock my love away, before you lock my love away
[01:34.61] Before you lock my love away, before you lock my love away
[01:39.85] Please let me testify
[01:40.39] The court awaited as the foreman got the verdict from the bailiff
[01:43.01] Emotional outbursts tears and smeared makeup
[01:45.59] He stated, he was guilty on all charges
[01:48.15] She's shaking like she took it the hardest
[01:51.15] A spin artist, she brought her face up laughing
[01:53.71] That's when the prosecutor realized what happened
[01:56.33] All that speaking her mind testifying and crying
[01:59.39] When this bitch did the crime- the queenpin...
[02:02.14] Before you lock my love away, before you lock my love away
[02:07.51] Before you lock my love away, before you lock my love away
[02:12.94] Please let me testify You accuse me of a, you accuse me of a, you accuse
[02:18.99] Please let me testify You accuse me of a, you accuse me of a, you accuse
[02:24.37] Please let me testify You accuse me of a, you accuse me of a, you accuse
[02:29.97] Please let me testify You accuse me of a, you accuse me of a
[02:34.79] Please please
