Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He said
You swear to tell the truth
The whole truth
And nothing but the truth?
I said, yeah, man
Yeah, right hand high
Never tell a lie
[Verse 2]
Your honor, I didn't know that I hurt her
I didn't know she was cryin'
I didn't know that it was killin' her slow
And, and, your honor, she can't say I ain't love her
Can't say I ain't tried
But I guess my love wasn't good enough
[Verse 3]
I guess I'm guilty for wantin' to be up in the club
I guess I'm guilty 'cause girls always want to show me love
I guess I'm guilty for leavin' and havin' a little fun
Girl, I'm guilty
For that, girl, I'm guilty
[Verse 4]
Don't take me to jail
Don't take me to jail
Don't take me to jail
I did nothing' to her
Gave everything to her, for that
Don't take me to jail
Don't take me to jail
Don't take me to jail
I ain't gon' cry while you make me do the time, oh
[Verse 5]
Your honor, she accused me of cheating
It was all in her thinkin'
She gon' believe what she want to
So what the hell am I gon' do?
Turn my life around, it ain't going down
She know 'bout the life tha I live
Why she cryin' now?
This **** is so silly to me, but I won't plead that
[Verse 6]
I guess I'm guilty for wantin' to be up in the club
I guess I'm guilty 'cause girls always want to show me love
I guess I'm guilty for leavin' and havin' a little fun
Girl, I'm guilty
For that, girl, I'm guilty
[Verse 7]
Don't take me to jail
Don't take me to jail
Don't take me to jail
How we supposed to get along with her going through my phone?
In her mind, she decided to get it
Don't take me to jail
Don't take me to jail
Don't take me to jail
Don't want to cop a plea
I swear it wasn't me
It don't matter 'cause to her I'm guilty
[Verse 8]
Let's go, right hand to the sky
Strike me down if I lie
If she saying she the victim in this case then
What am I?
If I hurt her I ain't tryin' to
In the club I may decide to
Ride through
She got proof
Well I got alibis, too
[Verse 9]
Couple million dollar worth of bags and full of shoes
Seven caret solitaire, Caribbean water blue
Range Rover, Porsche Panamera and the Bentley coupe
All the **** I did for her and this who you gon' listen to
Her life, I submit to you, is evidence
I never been on bull****
She ain't caught me on no Tiger Woods ****
Knew what I expected when she met me
Should have left me then
Balling against the law, shorty, go on, arrest me then
[Verse 10]
I guess I'm guilty for wantin' to be up in the club
I guess I'm guilty 'cause girls always want to show me love
I guess I'm guilty for leavin' and havin' a little fun
Girl, I'm guilty
For that, girl, I'm guilty
[Verse 11]
Don't take me to jail
Don't take me to jail
Don't take me to jail
If you're gon' treat me like a crook, put money on my books
Never mind, forget it
Don't take me to jail
Don't take me to jail
Don't take me to jail
Tired of your little games
****it, I'll take the blame
I did it, guilty, yeah
