[Intro]

This is the case of State versus Deepspace 5

The defense can call its first witness

Please state your name for the court


[Verse 1: Fred B]

Freddie hot-hands, lend me your ear and I can tell you Sev's gameplan

Homie was off, said Dust was cutting him short

On the *Back to Dust* record I would like to report

It's the god's honest, doggonest truth I tell ya'

Started looking through his records talking Helter Skelter

Had a look in his eye like he wanna try

With a head full of lies he heard from Rabbi

Then he dropped the verse how he padded the purse

Dust tried to explain then he had to reverse

With the statement from Paypal to validate

Plus in the ashes of the rubble is a file from Nate

Please state your name for the court


[Verse 2: Sev Statik]

Sev Statik the point man I'm always on course

Come on kid, how was it me?

Stuffing in my notebook with thousands of beats

Drowning in freestyle, meanwhile I feel some heat

Ain't nothing strange; I knew it was me

Because my pen holds lava, to spit harder

To spit hotter, it's getting darker

Smoke filled rooms, it's not me

Choking out, get on the floor, move towards the door

Run out the back, manCHILD with a little bit of talk to hand

Because I figure he did it, uh-huh

Please state your name for the court


[Verse 3: Manchild]

ManCHILD, I was sleeping on the sofa when the fire ran wild

But the phone rang waking a copy of Slow Flame

I was sorta blacked out but I saw the whole thing

Figure with the itchy trigger finger to shoot

Like flicker, bigger, sticker to the biggest of the crews

He was like, diesel what's a wigger to do?

Next thing I know I'm speaking to the evening news

It spread so fast, I'll leave it to you

On some scientific theories that you leading them through

Found butterfly wings all over the crime scene

Man, Sivion did it, believe it son, I'm clean

Please spit your game for the court


[Verse 4: Sivion]

It's Sivion, bomb on the mic when I write, make a million

What's really on, is what's really gone crazy

Dust's crib burned and they blame me

But I got no shame cause I saw the whole thing

If you know the style you can figure out the name

It will make you go dang

If you do the math you would probably do the same

We got hungry from the raps

Sev put the chicken patties on the grill in the back

The deck caught flame from every stub angle

You saw the chubb prints so talk to Doug Dangle

Please state your name for the court


[Verse 5: Playdough]

Come on man, you heard the flow, you know who I am

Gosh dangit dang I'm so innocent

I've been framed by unmagnificent

Kiddy size, small young on their uniform

Flowers, my little ponies and unicorns

The truth is everybody there saw

Ozark Empire strike back, Arkansas

The hillbilly himself was burning a bite

Drop a spark on the carpet and all ignite

We all ran but we didn't know it all combust

Listener better listen up and talk to Dust

Please state your name for the court


[Verse 6: Listener]

Dan Smith, good citizen of life and I solemnly swear

To not tell a lie while I sit in this chair

It was all dark, drove up on the scooter

Our 5 foots stricken, past a string of looters

Stuff from Nate's house hanging from the arms

And pieces of Nate's house burning on the lawn

I see Nate; arms to the sky, on his knees

And I look out back see a figure in the trees

It was an ugly Sasquatch Phantom of the Opera

(You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!)

It's colonel Bruno in the studio with a candelabra


[Bridge]

Mister foreman, do you have a verdict? 25 to life each one of them burned it

Mister foreman, do you have a verdict? 25 to life each one of the deserved it


[Verse 7: Sintax.the.Terrific]

May it please the court, I'm counsel for the defendants

There has been a travesty of justice in this sentence

No genuine issue of material fact presented

From which a jury of their peers could be convinced

That beyond a reasonable doubt these six men did it

I'd like to reserve rebuttal time after my colleague's finished

You see your honor, on the night in question

They could not have done it they were jacked on epinephrine

And Dust he saw it all, but I firmly believe

That that his testimony should be suppressed: fruit of the poisonous tree

And your honor, if I'm really being honest

There has been a violation of substantive due process

Of Roe v. Wade and Lawrence vs. Texas

And the forum state lacks a thoroughly sufficient nexus

To keep these men, did I fail to mention

That the jurors suffered from a general lack of attention

Or really any good sense, I think one was blind

And the alternates shot dice and partied all the time

And the State's main witness was John Caliglio

And everyone in lock-up knows that he's a snitch, yo

This verdict is void ab initio

Res ipsa loquitur, and x post facto

[?] ultra vires ex facie

Quid pro quo plus I think it has rabies

We need a change of forum and venue

Toilet paper, plus the lockup needs a menu

He's starved clients behind bars

And I'd like to file a motion to have your honor disbarred

Or at least recused, institute sanctions

For your contempt and multiple violations

Assault, battery, malicious prosecution

Bad breath, libel, slander, prostitution

Loss of consortium, clients can't survive

Since the ruling they haven't had any sex with their wives

This is a breach of your fiduciary duties

Only recourse is sell our story to the movies

Get paid millions, give it to the children

Do it all over again to beat the system
