Jack Bashkow - Court is Now in Session lyrics

Never feeling insignificant, I can make a difference You need an example, use this as a for instance Put your mouth on pause, put your brain in gear Alley-oop, sa**afra**, raise your gla** and cheer As you get on your good foot, I hope that you never put Your trust in unjust s**ers who discuss Ways of gettin' paid by criminal means They're havin' a sale on minimal dreams Doomed to fail, they caught your tail Your bu*t's in jail, you gets no bail The scale was tipped, but you weighed little There's a rock in a hard place, you're caught in the middle Need a lawyer to litigate some legal dribble Now you're back on the streets like it ain't no riddle How long will this last, you seem to love crime Today you're out here, tomorrow you do time Word is bond, arm your brain and shoot Yo, the state is cold ready to prosecute Oh you think you're smarter, the system's older The ace has been dealt, you're now the holder The name is Chill Rob, there is a good God My rep is not scarred, I won't commit fraud Can't say I lied, there's nothing to hide I say with much pride "Court is Now in Session" Friday night we out playin' the corner Not because we hoods, cause we wanna No d** being sold, we ain't dirty Polaroids in effect, watch the birdie Turned around, heard the sounds of sirens The boys, they collared me, asked me where I'd been I told them that I was right here all night Looking at each other they smiled and said "All right You think you're smart, you wanna be tough Get your a** in the car, you're comin' with us" I said "To where, for what? I ain't guilty The name is Rob G., you just can't bilk me" Now I'm sittin' in a courtroom all day I claim I'm innocent but that's what they all say But to my brothers lined up in the hallway To hear the type of price I might have to pay And finally as the crime held jail me Seems I'm made to escape the daily Routine I'm too clean you got nothin' on me Arrest that s**er for being so corny I'll run the truth, make it plain and simple Got popped by big shots quick as a pimple Snatch him off the street drop him in the can Chain him like an animal, forget he's a man This might be a little raw for some to eat But this is food for thought that I speak If you can't stand the heat, I think you know the rest This is live, not a test Court is in session It's a pity the way the city treats the poor I got congressmen, councilmen - tell me, what are they for? I write 'em letters, better, I even give 'em a call But they kick back, cool out in my city hall I pay the tax, they maxin', but they ain't pa**in' off They try to beat me, they treat me like they think that I'm soft Pure power, the hour is later than you think While they sleepin' I'm creepin' because I'm on the brink Of insanity, vanity keeps my hygiene clean Stop dissin', listen and then you'll know what I mean It's no mystery, history keeps repeatin' itself I last longer, I'm stronger, my rhyme's completin' itself I put the pen to the pad and let the words flow I put the mic to my mouth to make your mind grow So nighty nighty alrighty, I'm puttin' heads to bed You sound tired, you're fired up over what I said There's no stoppin' I'm cold droppin' you toy boys No bull, I'm hittin' you with the dope noise Court is in session...
