All rise
The honorable judge Gideon residing
Case number 007
The people versus Bridget Kelly
Ms Kelly, how do you plead

If I may trow 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 in to my house
No one was supposed to be there
Strictly for protection purposes was when I pulled my gun out
And undid the clip

And realized that oh no
I did not mean to shoot him dead
White lies (2x)
I did not mean to kill him and who ever he was in bed with
White lies (2x)

Of course I know what this looks like to you
I caught that motherfucker cheating
So I gave him his just due
But I promised that's not true

How was I supposed to know that it was him and not some murderous fool
The fact that he was cheating judge I promise it has 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, bleeding
And all I could say was

Oh no
I did not mean to shoot him dead
White lies (2x)
I did not mean to kill him and who ever he was in bed with
White lies (2x)

Bridget Kelly

Bridget Kelly (first known as “that chick who fills in for Alicia Keys at Jay Z’s live shows”) is a pop and R&B singer/songwriter.

She signed with Roc Nation in 2008 and regularly filled in for Alicia Keys' part on “Empire State of Mind;” they parted ways in 2014.

When she worked on starting her solo career in 2011, she and her production team approached Frank Ocean to write a song for her debut EP, Every Girl. Ocean agreed, and penned one of his more notable “Thinking Bout Forever.” His version leaked online, however, which turned out to be a breakout hit.
