[Verse 1]
Mac Cracker in the courtroom, orange off, suit on,
DA talking murder like he knew where I'm from.
But he built his whole case on a cartoon show,
Caricature witnesses, they didn't even know.
Said I pulled it, said I ran, said I hid the steel,
Cross got 'em stuttering, forgot how to lie for real.
[Verse 2]
First witness sketchy, second witness high,
Third one blind and still said he saw with both eyes.
Judge raising eyebrows, jury taking notes,
Prosecutor sweating through that cheap store-bought coat.
My lawyer like "Objection, that's make-believe,"
Whole gallery giggling while I'm trying to breathe.
[Verse 3]
Outside the courthouse, man the city was loud,
Picket lines deep, couldn't count the crowd.
Signs saying FREE MAC, bullhorns in the street,
Weed burning everywhere, smoke up to my feet.
Not celebration yet, just prayers in the air,
Mama lighting candles through all that haze there.
[Verse 4]
Twelve good people finally got to speak,
Took 'em 40 minutes, wasn't even a week.
Foreman stood up, paper shaking in his hand,
Said "Not guilty" and I felt that weight un-land.
Gavel hit once, sound like a church bell,
That murder jacket just fell off as well.
[Verse 5]
Walked out them doors, no cuffs, no chain,
Same sky above me but it don't look the same.
Same caricature faces now looking sick,
Tried to draw a monster, couldn't make it stick.
Mac Cracker free, yeah that's legally me,
Record wiped clean, let the boy be.
[Verse 6]
So if you see me out, I'm a free man walking,
Less talking now, just more cautious.
Picket lines gone, but the smoke still lingers,
Weed burning for the win, peace signs on two fingers.
Beat a murder case, didn't beat the lesson,
My voodoo gave me time, I'm counting every second.
