[Verse 1: Chuck D]
Caught, now in court cause I stole a beat
This is a sampling sport
But I'm giving it a new name, what you hear is mine
P.E. you know the time
Now, what in the heaven does a jury know about
Hell, if I took it, but they just look at me
Like, "Hey I'm on a mission, check it out y'all: condition"
Ain't right, sittin' like dynamite
Gonna blow you up and it just might
Blow up the bench and
Judge, the courtroom plus I gotta mention
This court is dismissed when I grab the mike
Yo Flav...What is this?
[Verse 2]
Get hyped, c'mon we gotta
Gather around - gotcha
Mail from the courts and jail
Claims I stole the beats that I rail
Look at how I'm livin' like
And they're gonna check the mike, right? - Sike
Look at how I'm livin' now, lower than low
What a s**er know
Found this mineral that I call a beat
Paid zero
I packed my load cause it's better than gold
People don't ask the price, but its sold
They say that I sample
But they should sample this my pit bull
We ain't goin' for this, they say that I stole this
Can I get a witness?
Understand where we're goin
Then listen to this, plus my Roland
Comin' from way down below
Rebound, c'mon boost up the stereo
Snakes in the morning
Wake up, scared afraid of my warning
They claim that I'm violent
Now I choose to be silent, can I get a witness?
[Verse 3]
C'mon get wit' it
Something ain't right, I got to admit it
Made me mad when I was on tour
That I declared war on black radio
They say that I planned this
On the radio most of you will demand this
Won't be on a playlist
Bust the way that I say this: No Sell Out
[Verse 4]
You singers are spineless
As you sing your senseless songs to the mindless
Your general subject love is minimal
Its s** for profit
Scream that I sample
For example, Tom you ran to the federal
Court in U.S. it don't mean you
Yeah, cause they fronted on you
The posses ready, Terminator X yes he's ready
The S1Ws, Griff are you ready?
They say that I stole this
I rebel with a raised fist, can we get a witness?
