[Sticky Fingaz]
Those mothafuckas done seen me, I can't help it!

[Rah Digga]
Yea, State vs. Kirk Jones, Judge Battle now residin'
Got a case of armed robbery that ended up in violence
Maximum sentence, life in jail's what you're facin'
Prosecution set it with your openin' statement

[Canibus]
Your honor, before we get started
I'd like to give my condolences to the family of the dearly departed
Tyrone survived by his mother Barbara
His two-year old daughter Tiwana and the baby's-mama Saundra

["Baby-mama Saundra"]
He's a murderer
That animal killed my baby's father!

[Rah Digga]
Order in the court!

[Canibus]
I'm sorry for the outburst your honor
I have an original copy of the police report
January the 4th, the day that Kirk Jones got caught
The forensic report states there was in a gun in the car
and gun powder residue on Mr. Jones' right arm
Bailiff, could you please pass this report to Judge Battle?
Mr. Fitzpatrick there's a few questions I'd like to ask you
You said you was outside the store in Manhatten
So could you please tell this court what you saw happen?

[Lord Superb]
Yea, he killed Tyrone, I saw everything
The argument, how son drawed, holes and everything
The worst shit I saw in my life, I wanna testify
I swear before God it was Kirk Jones, no lie

[Canibus]
Did you see that man in court today?
Do you think that you could point him out?

[Lord Superb]
Yes, that's him right there!

[Canibus]
Are you sure?

[Lord Superb]
Yea, without a doubt
Same nigga that took my Puma's, but I ain't hold no grudge
Remembered his foul ass when I saw the blood

[Canibus]
You stated that you had a run-in with Kirk Jones before
In your opinion, is he the type that would rob a jewellery store?

[Redman]
Your honor
Objection, his opinion should be stricken from the record!

[Rah Digga]
Objection sustained, prosecution, next question

[Canibus]
I'd like to call my next eye-witness, Mr. Paul Dejour
Paul could you tell us what happened inside the store?

[Scarred 4 Life]
Yea, it was about twenty past, I saw the S-Class
pull up in a reflection in the mirror of the store glass
and quicker than you could say, nigga kiss my ass
He hopped out the passenger side with a black skimask
I saw somebody run up in the store, ordered us on the floor
Yo, I swore I was a goner for sure
He tried to snatch Tyrone's bracelet, he just appraised it
20-grand and Tyrone wouldn't let him take it

[Canibus]
Is that the moment when he shot him?

[Scarred 4 Life]
Yea, man, that's when he popped him
I was so scared, I laid there and played possum
He started to blast his way 'til the gat was emp-tay
He took the gun hand and broke the glass display
He emptied all of the trays and ran out the store
and I watch Tyrone bleedin', death on the floor
I can't remember no more, that's all that I saw

[Canibus]
OK, OK, OK, calm down
I have no further questions your honor

*10 second pause*

[Rah Digga]
Court is now in session, now gettin' back to business
Pat Hailey for defence, please call your first witness

[Redman]
Yea, yea, a'ight your honor, I'll call up Henry Lace
He's the witness that I'm cross-examinin' for the case

[Guess Who]
Yea, I'll testify your honor, it was death-by-dishonor
It was a crime committed, I swear to you I know who did it
It happened so fast, I didn't see a lot of it
but I know for a fact he stuck the gun to his oesophagus

[Redman]
Wait, wait, wait
Objection your honor, his statement's preposterous
There was no weapons found, no sign of no hostages
Remember Mr. Henry Lace you're under oath

[Guess Who]
Yea, I know

[Redman]
You lyin' in the stand'll get him fryin' in the pan
Now where was you the night you claim he shot Tyrone?

[Guess Who]
I was right there

[Redman]
You and Holmes had beef before Kirk got home
Was you mad because he came home, bangin' your chick?

[Guess Who]
'Chu talkin' 'bout?

[Redman]
Got your boys out the hood, now they slangin' his shit
I know you mad, that's why you in court, turnin' on 'im
Kirk - cold-blooded killer with no burner on him
Come on, you don't believe he murdered Tyrone
I believe you wasn't there, you just heard it by phone

[Guess Who]
You crazy, man, I was right there

[Redman]
Yea, right, where you presence at?
I read your Rap Sheet, you hang with his dunns downtown

[Sticky Fingaz]
Yo fuck that! He's lyin', he wasn't even there, man

[Guess Who]
Yo he killed Tyrone!

[Sticky Fingaz]
You're goin' down!

[Guess Who]
Fuck you!

[Sticky Fingaz]
Fuck that! He's lyin', man!

[Rah Digga]
Order in the court! Now I'm warnin' you defence
Tell your client, take it down, matter o' fact, 'pproach the bench
Council in my chambers so that we could situate
Let the jury be excused so they could go deliberate

[Sticky Fingaz]
Yo, man, Mr. Hailey, what kind of defence is this?
What you doin', man? She gon' fuckin' hang me!
I know it, she's got it in for me, I'm tellin' you, man
You promised you'd get me off, man

[Rah Digga]
In the State vs. Kirk Jones, ya heard it
Both sides testified and the jury reached the verdict
Guilty - all accounts, from theft to murder one
By the time you gettin' out you gon' have a grandson

[Sticky Fingaz]
Guity - what the?
Fuck you, bitch! I'll see you in Hell, bitch!
Fuck that! Fuck -- fuck, get off me!

[Rah Digga]
Get him out of my courtroom!

[Sticky Fingaz]
Fuck Mr. Hailey! Fuck the Judge! Fuck everybody!

[Rah Digga]
Bailiff! Remove him from my courtroom!

[Sticky Fingaz]
Fuck that shit! I'll see you in Hell!

[Rah Digga]
You will spend the rest of your life in jail for this

[Sticky Fingaz]
Fuck you!
