Guilty Until Proven Innocent Songtext
von Thi'sl

Please Rise
The court of St. Louis County Criminal Division is now in session
The honorable judge Hannah Turner presiding
Gavel Bang X2
You may be seated
Mr. Tyler
Yes your honor
You′re being charged with first degree armed Criminal action
First degree unlawful use of a weapon
First degree breaking and entering
And first degree murder
What?
But i'm innocent tho! Whatchu mean?
Gavel Bang
Order in the court!
I can′t believe this man
I can't believe i'm right here right now
All I know is a couple weeks ago
My life spiraled all the way out of control
But the odds have been stacked up against me since day one


Until the late 80′s my family lived on the remains of a old slave plantation called Bell Chasing Middle City Mississippi
It was just like the ones you see in them movies
With The long winding dirt road
Rows of tinted wooden houses
White wooden church at the end
And a big old white house at the beginning
And cotton fields as far as the eyes could see
Ya′ll see when slaver was over in the south
Alotta slaves didn't know how to just pick up and move on
So they stayed on the plantation as sharecroppers
My family were descendents of them
Middle City was like the unicorporated area of Lee Florence County
You know the home of T.Y. Flemmings High School
The great olympic basketball player Lucy Harris
And if you didn′t know by now
Me
Travis Tyler
AKA Thi'sl
My stay on Bell Chasing was short lived tho
When I was two years old
My parents packed a Uhaul truck
Piled their kids in a car
And our next stop?
My new home
Saint Louis Missouri
