Trilogy (feat. Mr. Porter, Dwele & Tone) Lyrics
I now pronounce you husband and wife
You may kiss the brideCops comin', shots fired, babies cry, I cry
Wishin' I could change but this is just my life
Cops comin', shots fired, babies cry, I cry
Wishin' I could change but this is just my lifeGod, why is my wife bleedin?
Sheet covers her face, paramedics are leavin
Her eyes are closed, it's apparent she's not breathin
I'm a little confused about what it is I'm seeinPlus, there's a naked man on my lawn
Police in the livin room with all of they guns drawn
Out and the last thing I remember is
Uh, last thing I remember isI received a text page from Julio
Who expressed that I left my cell phone in the studio
Right underneath the disc with the Pro Tools
Next to a six pack of O'Douls and some soul foodYeah, and I was on my way home
Exit the expressway to use the payphone
But fuck it, 'cause my wife isn't back from her trip
I sneak [Incomprehensible] into the house
And she'll never expect it, except thatCops comin', shots fired, babies cry, I cry
Wishin' I could change but this is just my life
Cops comin', shots fired, babies cry, I cry
Wishin' I could change but this is just my lifeHe put the gun in my hand
Told me go take my revenge
Killin him won't make it go away
It's only gon bring more painI tied his hands behind his back to the night stand, fast
Ropes made bruises on his light skinned ass
See, I can play games too
Yeah, that's what I told him when he came toNow look, see what the game and the fame do?
Made a deranged mind out of someone in your same crew
Fuck man, we grew up together
Run DMC, tougher than leatherWith the same outfits, forty deuce
Takin' flicks like what, shit
Why did you fuck my wife, man?
You shouldve took my life, manI switched the gun into my right hand
The sweat accumulated on his forehead, I saw red, he said
Now was it worth it, man?
Was it everythin you imagined? Was it perfect?He put the gun in my hand
Told me go take my revenge
Killin him won't make it go away
It's only gon' bring more painHe put the gun in my hand and told
Told me to go take my revenge
Killin him won't make it go away, no
It's only gon' bring more painTook you to be my lawfully wedded wife
To have, to hold, to love and cherish but
Death did us apart, what a coincidence
Now, perhaps the police will be convincedThat it was an accident
If I'm accurate and careful with the evidence
This motherfucker trespassin up my residence
And to believe those vile set a precedence
From the start I should have been obvious, I never didPrevalent, the wicked debauchery and decadence
Was carried out with such masterful excellence
And this is the stick where you rip my heart
It was natural to transform murder into artAnd the weight of my conscience would knowingly carry
365 days to the date that we was married
Thoughts of how would achieve the murder would vary
We're closer than ever, together we'll be buried 'causeEvil eyes that bide, how they go
You [Incomprehensible] lied to me, what did they see?
I just lost control, had to let you go
I cry but slowly you try, so slowly you dieBuried alive in the grave, too exhausted to climb out
Before dirt was tossed on me, come to find out
Old friend of mine she sleepin with committed the crime
In the past three years, switched identities six timesAnd all the while I'm devoted to love and loyalty
They plotted on my publishin checks and royalties
She's thinkin its true love, he's scammin her for the quop
[Incomprehensible] to devise my own intuitive plotPut the pros on him, launched the probe on him
Now harm him, pen him, get him exactly where I wanted him
Cornered him, now his mission is aborted
You are about to be professionally extortedGuess who you're 'bout to murder tonight?
Miss pretty brown eyes while she sleeps under the moonlight
Do it and bounce, the keys to the crib, you'll find under the mat
In the front of the house, just do it, word outEvil eyes that bide, how they go
You [Incomprehensible] lied to me, what did they see?
I just lost control, had to let you go
I cry but slowly you try, so slowly you die
