Tried By 12 - East Flatbush Project[00:00:00]
Don't say sticks and stones[00:00:10]
They might break your bones[00:00:11]
But the nine millimeter, it'll bore your dome[00:00:13]
I'm talkin about the toe-taggin[00:00:15]
Huh, the body-baggin[00:00:17]
Man, niggas are dyin, huh, mommas are cryin, casket buyin[00:00:18]
Who, me dyin, leave my family cryin?[00:00:22]
Hell no, I cause, um, bloodbaths and showers[00:00:24]
Send me commissary, motherfuck them flowers[00:00:26]
Thoughts of slaughter, of leaving my daughters[00:00:29]
Hours and hours of fears running through my mind[00:00:32]
As I pick up the Zig 9[00:00:34]
Beef starts with the shove and ends with the shovel[00:00:36]
And niggas standing on your corner reminiscing of you[00:00:40]
But your ass is out and you're dead and gone[00:00:43]
So who'd you rather be?[00:00:46]
The murdered, or the murderer?[00:00:47]
Niggas got me stressed - I got my Tek and my vest[00:00:49]
And I sing who Jah bless, let no man curse[00:00:51]
Or one of us will leave here tonight in a hearse[00:00:54]
For we'll be tried by 12[00:00:56]
And fertilizing daisies[00:00:58]
Crying mommas and cousins and crying babies[00:01:00]
Due to the fact that death is a must[00:01:02]
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust[00:01:05]
Niggas getting bust[00:01:08]
For in God we trust[00:01:09]
So if you're comin to my town and try to slow the dough down[00:01:10]
You must be casket-bound[00:01:13]
Cause I'd rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6[00:01:14]
I sign my name on the book at your funeral[00:01:17]
The Zig's on my hip with an extra clip[00:01:20]
Cause I'd rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6[00:01:23]
La-di-da-di[00:01:26]
Saturday night and we like to party[00:01:27]
The punks are fucking around so we might catch a body[00:01:30]
Early Sunday morning, don't really wanna hurt nobody[00:01:33]
So what they tryin to get?[00:01:36]
I already got it[00:01:37]
Chump motherfuckers just a-schemin on my shit[00:01:39]
But little do they know I got the Zig on my hip with an extra clip[00:01:41]
And I'd rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6[00:01:45]
Aw shit - murder commit[00:01:48]
And there goes another statistic runnin' through ballistic[00:01:50]
The witness say I'm wicked[00:01:52]
But that's how I kick it[00:01:54]
Cause I'll be the bastard who blasts and didn't get blasted[00:01:55]
Boy kiss dem casket[00:01:58]
I cut your wig back kid[00:02:00]
Sucker, look who died[00:02:01]
Body will be identified[00:02:03]
Momma and poppa will cry, bitch-ass man says he'll testify[00:02:05]
To see me tried, but here's I slide[00:02:09]
Upon the same corner that you did[00:02:11]
And I'm still facing a bid[00:02:14]
Cause I'd rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6[00:02:15]
I sign my name at the book at your funeral[00:02:19]
The Zig's on my hip with an extra clip[00:02:21]
Cause I'd rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6[00:02:23]
