Wow! I've never seen these lyrics. Nice.

But ok, I heard a couple of things different. NOT big things but...

On line "On Wednesday, my child was attested"- I think he saying "detested" not "attested." It does sound like "attested" but that doesn't make sense.

On the line "On Thursday, [nobody's gonna call my bail]..." I don't think it sounds exactly right. I think "gonna call" might be something else. But I donot know what it is.

Line "And I ain't gonna, ain't done [ya'll dong''t gimme no bail]" It sounds to me like he's saying "And I ain't gone, ain't done..."

Line "On Tuesday I shot me a'dog" sounds to me like "I snuck me out doors." And after that, he says "Lawd" 4 times, not three.

I am only totally sure about the last part with the extra "Lawd." Not sure about rest. Cool stuff!
