Serena Altschul's here live outside the criminal courthouse
3
This is {bullshit} y'all
4
In New York City for the first day in the trial of
5
I'm gone
6
The State vs. Shawn Carter, a.k.a. Jay-Z
7
Uhh, uh-huh-uh, uhh, uh-huh-uh, uhh
8
Whatever the verdict in this trial may be
9
The effects will undoubtedly be felt worldwide
10
Aiyyo, stand forward, 'fore you take notice
11
Or witness to me killin the track
12
Testify 'til me spillin the smack
13
Now they got me for traffickin, racketeerin, audio crack
14
They call me Dope Man, Dope Man
15
I try to tell em I'm where hope, floats man
16
Ghetto spokes-man
17
A broke man, approachin the bench with intent
18
To bury me under the cell, fingered me as the toast man
19
Evidence stemmin from ninety-six
20
They say the world ain't recovered from his fix
21
While they was usin cut I was on some other shit
22
Gave it to you raw and they just discovered it
23
Nowaday, the jury got they brow raised
24
Listenin to testimony about my foul ways
25
Exhibit A: "Reasonable Doubt"
26
They say this was the first thing that turned the peoples out
27
You can feel the tension building here
28
As an unprecedented number of people have turned out
29
For what may be the "Trial of the Century"
30
They call me dope man, dope man
31
I try to tell em I'm where hope, floats man
32
Ghetto spokes-man
33
How come, you label your brand of dope
34
"Volume 1" and spread it through the slums?
35
Fed it to the young with total disregard
36
Your honor, the State seeks the maximum charge
37
And how could you, turn right around
38
And release a lethal dosage called "Volume 2"
39
And is true you operate the criminal enterprise
40
Known as Roc-a-Fella in charge of his meteoric rise?
41
And do you deny you're responsible for the demise
42
Of record execs, and do you object?
43
Your distribution's Polygram, and through your connects
44
Def Jam, you pushed over five million SoundScan
45
And not to mention, your co-horts and henchmen
46
Dame, Biggs, Lyor, Kev' and Russell Simmons
47
And we ain't gon' talk about Murder, Inc.
48
That just establishes a darker deeper criminal link
49
The State is seeking the maximum penalty
50
And with the overwhelming amount of evidence
51
The D.A.'s presented, things aren't looking good
52
They call me dope man, dope man
53
I try to tell em I'm where hope, floats man
54
Ghetto spokes-man
55
Despite the grim outlook at this point
56
The rapper has been known to emerge triumphant
57
In the face of adversity
58
They call me dope man, dope man
59
I try to tell em I'm where hope, floats man
60
Ghetto spokes-man
61
Jay-Z is taking the stand
62
Right hand on the Bible, left hand in the air
63
Before I spoke one word, made sure my throat was clear
64
A-hem, I'm a prisoner of circumstance
65
Frail nigga, I couldn't much work with my hands
66
But my mind was strong, I grew where you hold your blacks up
67
Trap us, expect us not to pick gats up
68
Where you drop your cracks off by the Mack trucks
69
Destroy our dreams of lawyers and actors
70
Keep us spiralin, goin backwards
71
At age nine, saw my first hate crime
72
Blindfolded, expected to walk a straight line
73
Mind molded, taught to love you and hate mine
74
Climbed over it, at a early age, Jay shined
75
Fuck the system at Lady Justice I blaze nine
76
Your Honor, I no longer kill my people, I raise mine
77
The soul of Mumia in this modern day time
78
While the jury is inside deliberating
79
Outside the crowd is frozen with anticipation
80
They call me dope man, dope man
81
I try to tell em I'm where hope, floats man
82
Ghetto spokes-man
83
Well the verdict has just been announced: Not guilty!
84
It is complete pandemonium out here!
85
People are cheering and hugging - there he is
86
Jay-Z is exiting the courtroom right now
87
There is a swarm of cameras surrounding him
88
And people are just rushing up to him
89
Let's try and make our way over there, Jay-Z! Jay-Z!
