The Judge

[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
