Verdict Day x Lawyer Fees Interlude Lyrics – Tory Lanez

Verdict Day x Lawyer Fees Interlude Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
Tory Lanez starts by questioning why he’s being treated the way he is. He mentions people talking about him in an elevator, implying that there are conversations happening behind closed doors that are shaping his fate. He feels like the case against him is being blown out of proportion and becoming bigger than just him as a person. It’s no longer just about him and Megan Thee Stallion—it feels like a larger issue, possibly involving race, power, or public perception. He suggests that people are more interested in seeing him guilty and locked up rather than hearing the full truth. He’s confused about what the real issue is: Is it truly about justice, or is it about something bigger? If it’s just about him and Megan, he believes the situation shouldn’t have escalated to this level. The intro sets the stage for his frustration and belief that the legal system is working against him.

[Intro]
He’s asking people to think deeply about the situation.

[Verse]
Tory starts by mentioning that he was found guilty on all charges. He feels like his opponents were waiting for this moment and finally succeeded in bringing him down. TMZ, a well-known media outlet, quickly broadcasts the news, showing how public and sensationalized his case has become. He describes his experience in L.A. County Jail, surrounded by noise, chaos, and people shouting from their cells.

He then shifts to talking about his lawyer, comparing her to Kevin Liles (a music executive) who left an artist behind. He believes she betrayed him and was secretly aligned with the opposing side, comparing it to wedding vows—implying loyalty to the wrong people. He also talks about the unfair financial aspects of his case, mentioning how those who paid his lawyer are also trying to sue him over Zelle transactions. He suggests that the entire situation is rigged against him, making it impossible for him to win.

Inside his jail cell, he talks to someone named Raina, reflecting on his thoughts and emotions. He believes the only way they could defeat him was by using their influence and power. He describes his struggles inside jail—having to avoid stabbings, dealing with snitches, and facing men he sees as cowards.

Tory then shifts to a more spiritual perspective, saying that his enemies are engaging in dark rituals and witchcraft, but they will never reach God’s level. He calls out the music industry, saying that many artists are controlled like puppets, but he refused to go along with that. He compares himself to a rebel who cut ties with major contracts that had hidden strings attached.

He mentions Shawn Holley, a well-known defense attorney, and expresses frustration that even a lawyer who was supposed to help him was part of the problem. He accuses his lawyer of withholding DNA evidence that could have proven his innocence. He then talks about the unfair plea deals he was offered—first nine years, then six years—but he refused to accept them because he maintains his innocence. His lawyer pushed him to take the deal, but he refused, deciding to stay in jail instead.

As he analyzes his legal team’s actions, he starts to suspect that his lawyer was intentionally losing his bail hearings. He initially trusted her because she was a Black woman, but he realizes too late that she was working against him. He claims she was passing his information to Roc Nation, Megan Thee Stallion’s management, which he believes was working to ensure his conviction.

He then accuses the system of being corrupt, claiming that money was exchanged to guarantee he would be sentenced to 10 years. He suggests that the judge was more focused on financial gain than on fairness. He pleads for God’s forgiveness for those who wronged him, implying that he believes in divine justice.

Finally, he says that once his opponents realized he figured out their plan, they covered their tracks. He claims his lawyer quit before he could fire her, making it look like it was her decision rather than him exposing her actions. He feels betrayed, manipulated, and powerless against a system that was set up against him from the beginning.

[Interlude]
This part is a voice message from someone responding to Tory. The person acknowledges that they haven’t always been on the same page but now agree on the best course of action. They mention that they sent an email explaining their stance, implying that there were some miscommunications before. They express support for Tory and say they are willing to do whatever it takes to help him. They also mention working with someone named George, possibly another lawyer or a key figure in his legal case. The message ends on a hopeful note, with the speaker reassuring Tory that they care about him and want him to succeed. The mention of Thanksgiving suggests that this message was sent during the holiday season, adding a sense of irony—while people are celebrating with their families, Tory is dealing with serious legal issues.

[Outro]
The outro emphasizes the financial burden of his legal case. The repeated mention of “lawyer fees” highlights how much money he has to spend just to fight for his freedom. The automated voicemail suggests that he is trying to reach someone, but he can’t get through. This could symbolize how, despite spending so much on legal fees, he still feels unheard or abandoned.

Then, a lawyer leaves a blunt voicemail, making it clear that their fee is non-negotiable. The lawyer states that their services are expensive and won’t offer any discounts or special arrangements. They essentially tell Tory that if he can’t afford the 0,000 fee, he’ll have to stay in jail. The phrase “the ball is in your court” suggests that it’s Tory’s decision to either pay up or remain in his current situation, but it also highlights how money dictates justice. This part reinforces the theme of financial exploitation within the legal system and how wealth can determine outcomes in court.
