The Judge

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You're flying high now like a big balloon So say goodbye now but I'ma see you soon Whether it's up in the sky or right here on the ground I got nowhere to go but up, but for you there's only downtown Stand before me, I'll seat you If it's a lesson you need then I'll teach you Give me a place and a time and I'll be there with a rhyme Full deck of cards, bodyguards, a neon sign I'll snatch you by your neck, put your crew in check And teach you all what they call old school respect 'Cause you was young, chewin' gum, and sleepin' in sheets While I played and got paid and I laid with the beats I'm like Einstein, Wilbur and Orville Wright I'm not just down for the ride, homeboy, I'm flight I'm not a new jack clown, a clone who ain't down I've been around and found the crown, rebound I am the Captain, the leader of men Like MacArthur, my only goal is to win I paid the cost, took a loss to be the boss That's why my force is the cause of what you put across But the beats ain't yours, they belong to the drums And the rhymes are mine, so you and the bums Had better raise, or the days that you used to praise Are gonna put you out to pasture where the bums graze I'm the judge I'm the judge I'm the judge I'm the judge I'm the judge Hear ye, hear ye, the court's in session [Verse 2] Now that I got my head together, my goals in line I'm letting everybody know that I'm going for mine I got a plan, my man, and if you can't understand You can read 'em and weep 'cause I got the best hand All the right tools, I possess what's needed An appetite for glory and the means to feed it A settle to score with the ducks who cheated Wrote a book on how to rap, I suggest you read it Taking out you bums if you ain't on par I'll expose you for what you really are I'll hunt you down no matter what city, state, or county Turn you in just like a outlaw and collect the bounty Make all the phonies suffer and torture the fakes I'll have you all eating mush while I eat steaks I'll lock you up in a cell indefinitely Your new address is Perpetrators' Penitentiary I'm the judge I'm the judge I'm the judge I'm the judge I'm the judge The court's in session, the court's in session Here comes the judge I'm the judge [Verse 3] You'll get no bail, no mail, you'll sit and rot in jail We'll battle, freedom if you win or the chair if you fail To think that you'd beat me is a J-O-K-E So you get thirty thousand watts of electricity You won't get no last meal or nobody to feel Sympathy or sorrow for you 'cause you knew the deal No prayers, no goodbyes, and no last rites 'Cause even God don't approve of a duck who bites No kind words at your grave, nobody around Just a cheap wooden coffin and a hole in the ground A message on your tombstone for all you done That said "He lived like a sucker and he died like one" Every year you were here, you fronted and lied You got caught, locked up, thrown in the chair and fried So if your phony, straighten up, clean up your act in a hurry You've got a plot waiting in sucker cemetery By the judge I'm the judge I'm the judge I'm the judge I'm the judge Here comes the judge I'm the judge Here comes the judge I'm the judge The court's in session, the court's in session, now here comes the judge [Verse 4] I got a strong suspicion, a intuition It's something that you even might just call a vision Or a superstition 'bout the competition Coming into business with the wrong ambition Looking for collision with the mic magician Unaware, huh, he made the wrong decision Hoping and a-wishing on impossible missions He couldn't f*** with me under no condition Grandmaster, and I won't budge Because you're the guilty party and I am the judge I'm the judge I'm the judge I'm the judge I'm the judge
