June 22nd

(Ok, well we've heard the other side of the story
Now, how bout you give us your version of what exactly went down that night
Alright, I'll tell you what I can remember
Ok, let's hear it)

It was June 22nd - I just figured that I'd go out and I'd play a little pool
Haven't been out for a while so I figure that tonight, yeah, that'll be kool
I was doing pretty good - didn't even lose a game
I was playing in my zone - didn't matter who I played
Then somebody came up to me and asked
Wasn't yesterday your birthday man
Had to think - yeah it was
But I wasn't really trippin cause I knew I had to work
Homeboy asked me if I wanna catch a buzz
Then the word got around - everybody showing love
Had to make a decision to do something different
The last time this happened I got a conviction
It's not what I wanted - it's not what I planned
So tonight I'mma take care of things in advance
Hit up the ATM - pull out a couple hundred that I know I'mma spend
Put the keys in my pocket - 1st round homie got it - I can go all in, cause I'm not driving
Henny - Patron - Remy - Shots
Then we had a couple beers
Partner said that it's hoppin over here
So we hit the next spot
As soon as we hit the door - all the drinks just begin pour
Sweating liquor right out my pores
Everybody got a bottle and a hottie on the dance floor
On the side me and Ro start to bust a flow
Everybody gather around just to see the show
Get back to the table - homie buys a round
A few thought they could hang and now they on the ground
Hey - how you gettin home
Don't trip - tonight I'mma call a ride
Gotta little money that I done put aside
It's kool - you can roll - I'mma be alright
Looked at my tab - then checked my pockets
Pulled out some money - cab fare I got it
Wasn't worried bout driving - wasn't even an option

DANG - what happened - somebody on my window tapping
I'm trying to figure out where I'm at - all I see is green lights and no traffic
A lot of red and blue - I don't have a clue of what's going on in my mindstate
Wait - I'm in the front seat - in the review I see my face
DAMN - I done did it again - but how cause I had it all planned out
I don't understand - was chillin with my man - now you telling me to hold my hands out
I'm looking so confused - now I gotta figure out just what to do
I'm gettin asked where I came from - and where I'm trying to go
But I really don't know and that's the truth
What I'mma tell my girl now - she didn't even really want me to go out
Now I'm sitting in a jail cell - she gotta post bail - and she's tired as hell - this aint workin out
Running through my mind trying to find a way to make craziness seem rational
Keep closing my eyes - hoping for a surprise - to wake up in a bed so comfortable
Wake up and it's meal time - brown bag - I aint trippin you can have mine
Dark times - what I'm needing is some sunshine
48 hrs later I can finally see the light
No call no show - two days
Last thing I recall was sitting there laughing
Guess when you black out, that's what happens

(Ok, well we can clearly see that my client wasn't in a conscious state of mind that night
I think we should really take that fact under consideration before sentencing)
