[Intro: Bailiff & Prosecutor]

Will the court please rise?

Judge Funk Doctor Spock residing

Your honor, Lil' Kim is a threat to society

She has shown a blatant disregard for the law

And has killed six fine law enforcement agents in the line of duty

For these vicious acts, she should be punished to the fullest extent of the law


[Verse 1: Lil' Kim]

Pardon me your honor, may I address the bench?

They tryna assassinate me like they did to Larry Flynt

Excuse my persona

I may be hardcore but I'm not Jeffrey Dahmer

Ever since I killed 'em, I ain't been in trouble since

It wasn't my fault, I acted out of self-defense

He killed my best friend (Who's him?) I mean them

They was all dressed in blue and they want me dead too

They had real grenade bombs inside of their palms

And a whole bunch of guns wrapped tight in their arms

See them bastards woke me up when they broke my alarm

I was getting my ass licked by this cat named Tom

(Stop!) I heard three guns cocked, that's when Tom dropped

They sent the bow and arrow right through his tank top

(Oh, she's lying!) Lying? Blood was gushing on the floor

Fingerprints all on the door, need I say more?

Pulled out the remote can and shot blows after blow, ploom!

Queen off her toes, they fell down like dominoes

I think it was the Matrix, I mean it was the Matrix

What was I to do? Sit back and just take this?

Yo, I'm tellin' you now If I lose this debate

Like in Dead Presidents I'm going out like Larenz Tate

See I ain't gon be stupid, I'ma take all y'all to the shift

I should be able to say what I want, what the fuck I plead the fifth?

(Now Kim, Kim) Fuck that Cee-Lo, I got to save the world

The first female king and they mad 'cause I'm a girl


[Verse 2: Cee-Lo]

Uh, with all due respect your honor

Excuse my client's temperament

Who has had social intelligence?

With so much innocence we have to implement

She was slightly out of place

But if you grant us a grain of your grace

I'll assure you it's only stress due to the severity of the case

Imagine for a minute, yourself in the same shoes

The same sense of survival and the same nothing to lose

Your children, your lovely wife, I mean look at her

The only thing she's guilty of is having no choice in the matter

[Chous: Lil' Kim, Redman]

Lord I cry (I cry) from the things I've seen (that I've seen)

And Lord I cry (I cry) from the things I've seen (ooh)

If you only knew (only knew) the things that I've been through

(Oh yeah) you'd know why (you'd know why-y-y)

You'd know why I cry, I cry, I cry

(Order! Order! Order!

Order! Order! Order!)

[Verse 3: Redman, Lil' Kim]

Order in the courts, I'm examining her thoughts

And the notes on why you started slaughtering the fort

The men dressed in blue, they were undercover cops

Hungry to see another black motherfucker shot

They ran up in your spot and no one gave the orders

Even Tom was tapped with a mic and a tape recorder

(He was in on it too!)

Yeah

(Yeah, I guess I should've knew)

Yeah

(Objection, your honor!)

Yo, objection overruled!

I know the news they tried to pay the grand jury

To give you life sentence with parole up in thirty

Now that's dirty, surveillance and you debate

Fuck Will! Now you're the new Enemy of the State

Angela Bobbett's cake compared to you

And Junior Mafia, that clique ain't scared to move

So, they took precautions

Grenades from all force and

Professional marksman with four fours of war hymn

But you stopped, dropped, rolled and duck

Shot back other bitches would've folded up

Now, that's my kind of bitch

I know I'm the judge

But I love that bitch

And I'm coming with her

Queen of the crop, and me, I'ma hold her down

Resign with A-K's so we blowing the trial

Look, it's a setup

Yo, Kim come on

(I'm right behind you, baby)

Yo, Kim, come on

(I'm right here with you man)


[Outro: Lil' Kim]

Lord I cry, I cry

From the things that I've seen

That I've seen...
