if i may throw myself upon the mercy
the mercy of the jury of the court
this all was just a big misunderstanding
i'll start from the beginning
and lead us to the spot
no foul play or no plot

i heard noises coming from upstairs when i walked into my house
no one was supposed to be there
strictly for protection purposes was when i pulled my gun out
emptied the clip
and realized that oh no i didn't meant to shoot him dead
white lies, white lies
i didn't mean to kill him and whoever he was in bed with
white lies, white lies

of course i know what this looks like to you
i caught that mf cheatin

so i gave him his just due
but i promise that's not true
how was i supposed to know that it was him
and not some murderous fool foool
the fact that he was cheating judge
i promise it had nothing to do
with why i reloaded twice

i was scared everything happened so fast
it was dark i could barely see anything
by the time i could make out who it was
they were screaming, pleading

and all i could say was oh no i didn't mean to shoot him dead
white lies, white lies
i didn't mean to kill him and whoever he was in bed with
white lies, white lies
