My Lawyer
I know my flaws!
why cant i defend myself sir?
I met the cops alone,
We fought alone,
And now i sit silent
As you talk to a lazy man
With a white wig on his head
About how i wanted badly to talk on phone
With my wife to avoid
Signing the divorce papers
Which you will earn a lot from
If it happens?
Why sweat in that white shirt and black tie?
Just because you fear defeat
Or you think i pay you less?
Did you ask you mother to pay for that
Defending wrong doers?
My conscious tell me am wrong
You are telling court i was out of my mind
No way i wasn't i was annoyed
Who said i have no rights to react negatively ?
Who said i cant walk away from the cops?
Lawyers like you!
Because you wanted to define your jobs.
I am only grateful when they are interrogating me
I just pose and shy away as i say
I will only talk to my lawyer
When you walk In
I feel like telling you
I will only talk to myself
