Did the brother lie
To make you and i
Buy his alibi
The question then, is why?
Was he seeking sympathy
From fans like you and me?
We’ll have to wait and see
What the truth will be

If it was a staged fight
The truth will come to light
Cuz’ wrong is clear from right
Just like day from night
I hope not for his sake
See the woken are awake
But don’t know what to make
If the claim turns out half baked

Perhaps he’ll be believed
By the people he deceived
Who may well be aggrieved
If they find they were naïve
Listening to his telling
His account was so compelling
Which had some of us yelling
Whoever did it was a felon

We know TMZ talks
And sometimes even shocks
By picking apart the locks
Even though the brother balks
He can deny to his death
When nothing else is left
And he’s taking his last breath
That a lie is like a theft
