by

Talib Kweli


[Intro: Eddie Ill, D.L., HB, and J-Live]
Eddie Ill: Yo, this is Eddie Ill
D.L.: And D.L
HB: HB
Eddie Ill: Featuring beats by Rich Boogie
D.L.: Taking you a trip below
HB: 120 minutes of hot hip hop joints
Eddie Ill: So stay with us
J-Live: Yeah, y’all. J-Live for Eddie Ill & D.L. Check it out. Yeah, y’all. Mad emcees

[Verse 1: J-Live]
Now presiding in this court of hip hop justice, my rap forte
Is judge, jury, bailiff, and prosecuting DA
‘Cause, ceteris paribus, my modus operandi
Is carpe diem, whether de facto or de jure
Comprende? The people versus you and your sensei
For teaching that style of wordplay weaker than Wednesday
Regardless of what your friends say, they’re all dissable
Stricken from the record and deemed inadmissible
While this long arm of the law grabs the mic to
Shoot dope lines first and ask questions later
The deaf sentences of this Live litigator
Could close a case tighter than the jaws of a gator
Stenographers are steady logging the jargon
That your counselors are barking in hopes of a plea bargain
But when you read back verbatim what they're saying
To persway ‘em, you'll realize exactly how I ate ‘em
I come with the truth, whole truth, and nothing but
'Cause the truth hurts just as much as f*cking with Live will
I’ll prove skill with refills from now until
Plagiarizing emcees get their flows distilled
