Hip Hop Is On Trial (Free Gunna & Young Thug)

Objection your honor
When my client says that he is selling lines
He is referencing punchlines
Just because his word is bond
Does not mean he should be denied bond

I walk around with a smile on my face
But I promise I be going through it
If I'm walking round with that glock on my waste
It don't take too much for me to shoot it
If I'm walking round with a frown on my face
You don't want to be what I'm pursuing
'Cause I'll lie and tell the judge I didn't do it
I'm innocent until proven, not guilty

With all this cancelling in the culture you can't kill me
Cause I'm the only one that'll state (estate)
It's not real tea (realty)
You trippin' slime what you been sippin' is not real tea
The glock finally let it ring and got filthy oooh
Now that's how you consummate a marriage
I been jumpin' off the porch since I was rollin' in the carriage
Since a baby, had to be my own man
Yeah that's apparent (a parent)
Even if you been my dog, dog I wouldn't double dare it
Why they talking like they winning?
Need to go and check the standings
Ever since I hit the building I been raising up my standards
Better 'community chest' it y'all already had ya 'chances'
It's a 'monopoly', and you get paid without advancing (go)
If you don't own none of the 'deeds' this ain't y'all city
That's why I'm always 'on go', you shouldn't 'start' with me
Never really been into sports, I played larceny
Skipped tryouts for the team and made varsity

I walk around with a smile on my face
But I promise I be going through it
If I'm walking round with that glock on my waste
It don't take too much for me to shoot it
If I'm walking round with a frown on my face
You don't want to be what I'm pursuing
'Cause I'll lie and tell the judge I didn't do it
I'm innocent until proven, not guilty

My gracious, we all know music is entertainment
So how they taking hip hop lyrics and building cases
Land a punchline and it'll land you an arraignment
When most of these rappers
Don't even write what's on they pages
Now I ain't saying everybody should exempt
Especially if ya name's 9, and it starts with a 6
But the way they doing Gunna's and Thug's ain't making sense
Get caught (court) dropping a adlib
And they charge you with contempt
Nowadays, drop a hit and gotta answer for it
Every verse is like trial we gettin' canceled courted
So I stood up at the arraignment like
Judge I got a banger but with the state of the game
I probably can't record it
And I have lied on every unlawful statement you place before me
Even if the sentenced started with based on a true story
See I had a higher calling to do this to get a check
So, when I'm cutting lines you can see the disconnect
Your honor, I could say he's a product of his environment
And that's why product's always for sale but you aren't buying it
See rhyming is, ritual agony redefining it
To the beat is like, having a meeting a with a psychiatrist
And creativity is the result of what you listen to
So erstwhile cross-examination is non-admissible
When lyrics aren't literal we call them a reach
Protected by the 1st amendment and that's freedom of speech

Your honor I walk around with a smile on my face
But I promise I be going through it
If I'm walking round with that glock on my waste
It don't take too much for me to shoot it
'Cause I'll go draw down on who I am pursuing
Then tell you it all through the music
Then lie on the stand, like a God fearing man
I am innocent until you prove it, not guilty

Strike that one as well
I will not stand for Hip Hop on trial
We shall now commence with the motion for dismissal
Effective immediately
