She walked in the court, her knees buckle

Saying for a man to survive, he needn't hustle

Seen and been through struggle her whole life

Made a transition from being his ho to his wife

Stifling, the night upend the ATF bust in

Her daddy was a hustla, so she loved him

Looked at the jury, how can they judge him?

She screamed

Before you lock my love away

Before you lock my love away

Before you lock my love away

Yeah

Before you lock my love away

Please, let me testify

Fear in her chest, her face with tears

Had her man's back, he was facing years

In her name, though the place was his

They tryna take everything except the kids

For years she been through scuffle and fights

While he tryna hustle that white

Up all night wondering if he's alive

Seeing him tried she bubbled inside and screamed

Before you lock my love away

Before you lock my love away

Yeah

Before you lock my love away

Yeah

Before you lock my love away

Please, let me testify

The judge yelled for order, court reporter making her words shorter

His lawyer sat next to him

She could see how the trial was affecting him

It hurt for her eyes to connect with him

Using her lies for protecting him

They arrested him for murder and gun possession

As they read back her confession, she screamed

Before you lock my love away

Before you lock my love away

Before you lock my love away

Before you lock my love away

Please, let me testify

The court awaited as the foreman got the verdict from the bailiff

Emotional outbursts, tears and smeared makeup

They stated he was guilty on all charges

She's shaking, looking like she took it the hardest

A spin artist, she brought her face up laughing

That's when the prosecutor realized what happened

All that speaking her mind, testifying and crying

When this bitch did the crime, the queenpin

Before you lock my love away

Before you lock my love away

Before you lock my love away

Before you lock my love away

Please, let me testify
