The Greatest Own in Legal History Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I would like to represent you, be a verbal musician
Be the one who defends you
When the odds are stacked up high like rotten dominoes
I'll be there to vet the jury
Make sure there's a couple of softies on our side
They'll see their own kids in you
Their empathy will go a thousand miles wide

[Chorus]
Your motive it's unclear
The witness is a nearsighted engineer
It's the greatest own in legal history

[Verse 2]
Our jailhouse discussions
Will be fraught with innuendo, mutual respect
Pretty soon you will be gushing
To the other boys behind the bars of my affect

[Chorus]
Let me take the lead
There's nothing that you'll need, you'll see
It's the greatest own in legal history

[Verse 3]
Cases, many haunting me
When I try to sleep and I can tell you I don't sleep that much
Faces of hegemony
If you really want to bum out I got spreadsheets on that stuff

[Chorus]
Juvie, it is jammed
There's someone here who gives a damn, it's me
The greatest own in legal history
