Never Had A Case

My brothers, my duty is to God

My kin just filled me in on your spooky little plot

You hoped the Law would cancel me – gone without a trace

But substantially, you never had a case

My brothers, hope is standing trial

You see a vagrant’s fantasy and judge the rank and file

Your leader gave the order, but it’s you who slapped my face

It’s recorded now, you never had a case

Truth is on the side of the innocent – where’s your evidence?

You’ve sorted roughly forty folks who’d starve to see me dead

But soldiers got my back – so grab a snack; go break some bread

Your lawyers tried to warn you in advance of losing face

You never had a chance, ‘cause you never had a case

My brothers, my God is standing near

We Pharisees can’t see how come the Sadducees can’t hear

The crackling tongues of fire, the churning angels’ wings

If you have no hope of heaven, you haven’t got a thing

You’ve sorted roughly forty folks who’d starve until I’m dead

But soldiers got my back – go grab a snack, go choke down some bread

Lawyers tried to warn you to spare you from disgrace

You never had a prayer, ‘cause you never had a case

Truth is on the side of the innocent ‘n truth gon’ set you free…
