Verse 1: Your lookin' at an ex-crook �
in fact, I'm lookin' back at the day I got off the hook �
and put the crookin' act back behind �
Man I got, no plans to rewind � I used to be blind �
but now I see fine, with divine spectacles �
Some biblical meats and vegetables, my level's risin' like cholesterol �
best of all, I'm blessed to call God my father, I got arrested, y'all �
Let me tell you how it happened � check it, y'all �
Though I'm tough like shoe leather �
I always new whether � or not I did good, I always could do better �
Plus I knew a lot of fellas worst than me �
I thought, "How bad could I be?" � � Then I got a letter �
a subpoena � to pre-bema � court trial. I thought, "How? �
Of course I'll plead not guilty � I'm just a poor child �
I figured, "No lawyers needed� � the court speeded �
they're mistaken. � I'll take my own case and plead it." �
Conceited � I figured I'd throw the judge one line �
blow his dumb mind and be out of there by lunch time �
Dressed to impress � with my best clothes on �
just then the Judge stepped in � with a red robe on �
(hold on) � this must be a dream � it's Chief Justice Supreme Judge �
Elohim � I'm feelin' sick like disease �
cause in His court we all fall short like midgets on our knees �
My lunch plans canceled � I don't stand a chance � He'll pull my file �
I'm in distress like a damsel. �
I'm shocked and in awe then my jaw hits the floor �
the prosecutor comes in and it's Mr. Law � (Awww) �
No more hope and now I'm waitin' � he's known �
for bringin' condemnation � with his open statement �
My heart is poundin' as he states what the charge is: �
"THE DEFENDANT'S GUILTY OF NOT KNOWIN' WHO GOD IS."

Chorus: I'm in trouble man� I better come up with a plan�
Maybe I can make the dash� Or give the judge a little cash�
I know that I'm wrong� And I'm trying to be strong�
But my rap sheet is long� So I'm singing this song

Verse 2: I found myself jammed in court �
and in short � I was guilty of bein' filthy like men in sports �
I was losin' � the prosecution was relentless �
he pointed out the flaws in my mouth like a dentist �
He exposed my very words �
gave the court a record of every dirty joke and every curse word �
More error when he picked my mind like a psychiatrist �
the jury's buyin' it � they're gettin' mad like a scientist �
(There's a door) � You know I'm eyein' it � better tryin' split �
cause Mr. Law rules with an iron fist �
I'm not a chump but I know I gotta run � but I'm not dumb �
I see that guard and he's gotta gun! � � No one's laughin' �
not a one � He pulled out x-rays of my heart and
I don't know where he got em' from �
He labeled me a thug�I screamed, "I WAS NOT!"�
Objection overruled�then he pulled out my mug-shot �
showed the jury me and my boys at the drug spot and
the bus stop smokin' much pot in a rough spot �
He went on, revealed the lust I hold � plus I'm swoll �
�cause He showed all the stuff I stole � (the prosecution won't rest) �
He made reference to my sin-nature � pulled out mad evidence �
Statin' ever since I was born I've been fond of sin, on one accord with Satan �
like a Honda � With justice on the trail He proved I was gonna fail �
put my motives on the scale � (that's it, I'm goin' to jail) �
Kind of petro, � but yet I'm thinkin', "Let's go. � How bad can jail be?" �
But now they're screamin', "DEATH ROW!"

Chorus: This is ill yall� Yo, it's for real yall�
Can't you see that I'm doom� And I'm about to be consumed�
So young� But sin has got me so strung� I'm about to cry�
Because I'm about to die

Verse 3: I'm still in court �
and in my mind thoughts of death sink � By now I'm funky �
I'm hungry plus my breath stinks �
The Judge, jury, even I'm convinced �
I'm guilty of law-breakin' and it's all makin' sense �
You and I only look good to the human eye �
man bein' basically good is a human lie � I'm thirsty,
but not for water, for mercy � I'm unworthy �
the whole court room heard me �
The Judge stood with the law book � They all looked �
and saw what blew their minds as the one who made the law took off His robe,
and became the substitution � � off we strolled �
to the place of execution � Gave me a pardon �
instead let them bruise Him � justified me and let the law accuse Him �
They gripped Him, stripped Him, � whipped Him �
They saw thorns and picked Him � they sticked Him, �
He made Himself the victim � I felt the pain �
I walked home in the rain � changed � not the same, �
because I knew I should have got the blame � How could I complain? �
I wept on my bed, when on my pillow I found a letter and it read, �
"I BLED, � ALL BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, MY BLOOD WAS SHED, �
ALL BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, � THEY KILLED ME INSTEAD, �
ALL BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, � I AROSE FROM THE DEAD, �
ALL BECAUSE I LOVE YOU." � � "He's Alive!" I thought that He'd be back �
at the morgue tears poured, then I hear tap � at the door �
unexpected but�Yup, � you guessed it. � He had resurrected! �
He came in my heart and blessed it � Love manifested �
though I wear jeans and not the double breasted �
I praise God I got arrested, � cause I had just heard of Him, �
now I'm a son, not a distant relative � like a third cousin,
word brethren. � Get a load of me � I'm free �
I'm property of the only God who died for me �
I can see a whole society who need to cop a plea �
Sin's got the lock � but God's got the key.

Chorus: Look now� No more crook now�
Close the book now� My sins are took now� No more death row�
No more death yo� Come what ever� in Christ I'll live forever�
Forever off the hook.
