Info to help you understand:
2 best friends. 1 is on trial for robbing a store with his brother who crashed the get-away car.
This guy got caught but his brother who's idea it was never.
-First verse is what happened at #2's trial and gives you #1's account of what happened.
-Verse 2 is #1's opnion of #2's situation, his visit to see him in jail and gives you a bit of their background like what happened when they were growing up.
-Third verse is 2#'s account of what's happened/happening. And why things have turned out this way. Bit of an unexpected climate here but you might have figured out what would happen from 2nd verse (since I italiced it)
Will be made into audio but I'm looking for the right two people and also looking to have a nice chorus probably done by a singer. I've made the beat.
I Don't Know You
#1
A crime is reported then my life is distorted
He told me he wouldn't steal again, said he bought it
He didn't just steal that, broke my heart, made a promise
Thinkin to myself if only his mother could have saw this
Had a gun, was armed but he said he's never drawn it
His sentence would have been reduce if he'd been honest
Evidence at the trial led me to believe me was fakin'
As the verdict was given I could see he was shakin'
His brother, behind me couldn't help but kiss him
Lil' bastard was probably right there with him
Tried to explain to him, he never listened but I tried
Five was the years that he would be inside
I said "You lied me me", he said "He made me"
Atleast admitting to it would be an act of bravery
I said "Ask for God's forgiveness, he made you.
Nevermind, you're state property, not even God can save you"
#1I visited him one time, I could tell he was high
And by this time he'd only done three months inside
I said "What you doin' man? Why you gone and used it?"
He stood up, strangled me, he couldn't help but loose it
I couldn't breathe for five seconds, seemed like a while though
He's twenty-two but in my eyes still seen as a child though
Been four years into his sentence, most served
He's probably out but no forgettin' this isn't deserved
Word has it he's livin' downtown and now he's an addict
His own choice, he can do what he wants, he can have it
Ever since his mother died I've worried about this problem
Took him out the hood to stop him and now he's got 'em
I knocked one hundred times on that door of his
He's ignored all my phonecalls aswell, I'm bored of this
He aint who he used to be, he don't mean nothin'
I hope he has an overdose and just dies or somethin'
#2
My brother was a bit of a bastard, he ended up crashin'
Done everythin' to him, even blamed him for what happened
At my trial I dont know why he kissed me
He aint visited me since I got in, he must not miss me
One of the guys on my block has been actin' all kingly
I let him do stuff to me for the drugs that he gives me
I felt trapped here, before now I slapped queers
But in recent times I really don't care
I've had three visits so far, two from my cousins
One from a guy I used to know, I meant to hug him
Somethin' went wrong, he made me feel like a villan
I put my hands around his skinny neck, wanted to kill him
Gave him a message when I got out of the prison
I know he heard it, my girlfriend made him listen
By girlfriend I mean I just pimp her sometimes
But when the drugs don't work I need her talents sometimes
Somethin' I wont be requiring much more
I got the pills ready when there's a knock at the front door
It will take thirty seconds to kick into my system
The knocking continues, I swollow the pills as I listen
