Ridenhour - shocklee - sadlerCaught, now in court cause I stole a beatThis is a sampling sportBut Im giving it a new nameWhat you hear is mineP.e. you know the timeNow, what in the heaven does a jury know about hellIf I took it, but but they just look at meLike, hey Im on a missionIm talkin bout conditionsAint right sittin like dynamiteGonna blow you up and it just mightBlow up the bench andJudge, the courtroom plus I gotta mentionThis court is dismissed when I grab the mikeYo flave...what is this?Get hyped, cmon we gottaGather around - gotchaMail from the courts and jailClaims I stole the beats that I railLook at how Im livin likeAnd theyre gonna check the mike, right? - sikeLook at how Im livin now, lower than lowWhat a sucker knowI found this mineral that I call a beatI paid zeroI packed my load cause its better than goldPeople dont ask the price, but its soldThey say that I sample, but they shouldSample this my bit bullWe aint goin for thisThey say that I stole thisCan I get a witness?Understand where were goinThen listen to this, plus my rolandComin from way down belowRebound cmon boost up the stereoSnakes in the morningWake up, scared afraid of my warningThey claim that Im violentNow I choose to be silentCan I get a witness?Cmon get wit itSomething aint right, I got to admit itMade me mad when I was on tourThat I declared war on black radioThey say that I planned thisOn the radio most of you will demand thisWont be on a playlistBust the way that I say this: no sell outYou singers are spinelessAs you sing your senseless songs to the mindlessYour general subject love is minimalIts sex for profitScream that I sampleFor example, tom you ran to the federalCourt in u.s. it dont mean youYeah, cause they fronted on youThe posses ready, terminator x yes hes readyThe s1ws, griff are you ready?They say that I stole thisI rebel with a raised fist, can we get a witness?
