Ya'll can't handle the truth
in a courtroom of lies
Perjures the jurors
Witness despised
Crooked lawyers
False Indictments publicized
It's entertainment the arraignments
The subpoenas
High- profile gladiators in bloodthirsty arenas
Enter the Dragon
Black-robe crooked-balance
Souls bought and sold
and paroled for thirty talents
Court reporter catch the surface
on the pa per
File it in the system
not acknowledged by the Maker
Swearing by the bible blatantly blasphemous
Publicly perpetrating that "In God We Trust"
Cross-examined by a master manipulator
The faster intimidator
Receiving the judge's favor
Deceiving sabers
doing injury to they neighbors
For status, gratis, apparatus
and legal waivers
See the bailiff
Representing security
Holding the word of God soliciting perjury
The prosecution
Political prostitution
The more money you pay
the further away solution
Legal actors
Babylon's benefactors
Masquerading as the agency
for the clients
Hypocritical giants
Morally non-compliant
Orally armed to do bodily harm
Polluted, recruited and suited judicial charm
And the defense isn't making any sense
Faking the confidence
of escaping the consequence
That a defendant is depending on the system
Totally void of judgment
purposely made to twist em'
Emotional victim
blackmailed by the henchmen
Framed by intentions
Inventions whereby they lynch men
Enter the false witness
slandering the accused
Planting the seed
openly showing he's being used
To discredit, edit, headed for the alleged
Smearing the individual
fearing the unsuspected
Expert witness the paid authority
Made a priority to deceive the majority
Of disinterested peers
Dodging duty for years
Hating the process
waiting to be returning to their careers
Do we expect the system made for the elect
To possibly judge correct?
Properly serve and protect?
Materially corrupt
Spiritually amok
Oblivious to the cause
Prosperously bankrupt
Blind leading the blind
Guilty never defined
Filthy as swine
A generation pure in it's own mind
Legal extortion
Blown out of proportion
In vein deceit
The truth is obsolete
Only two positions: Victimizer or Victim
Both end up in destruction
trusting this crooked system
Mafia with diplomas keeping us in a coma
trying to own a piece
of the "American Corona"
The Revolving Door
Insanity every floor
Skyscraping, paper chasing
What are we working for?
Empty traditions
Reaching social positions
Teaching ambition
to support the family superstition?
When the Son of Perdition
is commander in chief
The standard is Thief
Brethren can we candidly speak?
Woe to the men
Trusted in the chariot stem
Leaning on horses
They run their intellectual sources
Coun terfeit wisdom
creating the illusion of freedom
Confusion consumes them
Every word they speak is in front of them
Outwardly white, internally they absent of light
and trapped in the night
and bonded to the Cain of the night
Under the curse
Evil men waxing more worse
Faxing the first
Angelic being cast to the earth
It's time for rebirth
Burnin' up the branch and the root
The empty pursuits
of every tree bearing the wrong fruit
Turning me ill
Let him who stole, no longer steal
Oh it's real
Surrender for Jehovah is real
How long will you sleep
Troubled by the thoughts that YOU keep
The idols YOU heap
Causing the destruction you reap
Judgment has come
Find it and return to the One
Abandon the flesh
Self-interest: Broadway to death
Pride and the Greed
Hide and subdividing the seed
The knowledge of Good and Evil
is what caused us to lie
Caused us to die
Let your emotions be crucified
Renounce all your thoughts
Repent and let your mind be re-taught
You'll find what you sought
was based on the deception you bought
A perception of naught
Where the majority remains caught
Loving a lie
Not realizing in Adam, all die
Loving a lie
Not realizing in Adam, all die
Loving a lie
Not realizing in Adam, all die
Loving a lie
Not realizing in Adam, all die
