According to the 56-count indictment, lyrics from Young Thug’s hit single, ‘Ski,’ are being used as evidence. Prosecutors called the songs text “an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.” Specifically, prosecutors recalled the following bars from ‘Ski’ as evidence:
I f**k with slatts and we come to ear rats and I came with fuckin’ piranhas. The indictment also lists, “I tote an FN on me, call Neechi-Neech, it’s a Glock he keep…Duke Rollin’ 60’s, he’s locked in the C’s.
Prosecutors also state that Young Thug released a song titled, “Slatty” which also details his alleged crimes.
I killed his man in front of his momma, life f**k lil bruh, sister and his cousin.
Authorities also suggest that a few other lyrics from the single prove conspiracy.
I shoot out… kill ’em, not leaving a trace. I had to break in the safe, year, and I didn’t leave a trace. Dissect your body like science class ni**a, gangster cause you got a body, lil ni**a, magazine clips, so you might get your issue, you think you gangster cause you got a pistol, look at my trigger, my trigger start itching, YSL, we going overboard.
