Reasonable Doubt

ORDER

ORDER

Order in the court

The lawyer takes a quick glance at a report

The game plan

It’s been used before

Prove the defendant Not Guilty

It’s the same score

Innocent until proven

Ain’t what they using

Guilty until proven innocent absolute

The one on the right is twitchy and nervous

I let you decide for what purpose

The one on the left look assertive, almost like victory is guaranteed

But on TV, what you don’t see

Is the secret fee

Bribe

Paid to ruin one mans life

10,000 is about the price

The crowd lays silent

The benches is piling

But the procession is progressing

Everybody sits

And they pull up chair for the spectators that don’t fit

The jury sits upright and sorta uptight

But the setting is right

Silence is golden

The defendant is confident

With the picture of family he’s holdin

The charges are lengthy and too many many to name

But as a black mans plight, it’s the same old thing

Charges that would hold about a pound of weight

They trying to break him down

Heard the sounds as they pound away

The jurors

Could be more secure

Looking like they low on cash

And would do anything for some more

The defendant has a record

Who don’t

Cant judge him in a split second

I wont

Charge with killing a entire family

And grand theft auto

Whether he did it or not

We’ll find out tomorrow

And what also isn’t as great

The price for this

40 years upstate

So we got the setting, a time and a quiet place

Sit down and chill

Coming live this is Ace

-----------------------

A specific spectator looks hasty

Wanting this to be dirt under the rug

And truth be told the witness looks all too snug

Live on channel 11

Replay at seven

The judge says

Let the crowd be seated

This joint right here is fin to get heated

Will the defendant make a opening statement

Yeah, I got something to say

Before this trial starts and you judge me today

Your way

Aint exactly mine

But c’mon take a tour inside my mind

I would not kill this man’s family

I am a god fearing

You understanding me?

The lawyer put his has on his shoulder

As if it was a gesture

I got it, its over

The plaintiff would like to call his first witness

Not really call, but tell to come up

She’s already with us

The Johnson’s maid

You can tell by her clothes

She was poorly paid

Do you swear to tell the truth so hard it hurts

Yeah it aint the whole statement

But….it works

So she sits down

Look a little twitchy

I won’t say and exact reason

Maybe her cottons is a little itchy

What were you doing when you heard screams in the balcony

I was watching TV

Is this really about me

Yeah, you’re right

So you ran upstairs correct

Yeah I wondered if they were alright

So I ran up to check

And what did you see when you enter the room

Were they on the floor?

Yes, they were all dead when I opened the door

Did you see the defendant fleeing the scene

Or what he standing there

Not I actually didn’t see him in the room

I was stuck with a surprised stare

I was there all alone

But I looked out in the driveway, and he was pulling away

Judge I did nothing wrong

Know you place son

Continue along

When I called the police

And issued a report

Next thing here I am

Up in court

But in the report didn’t you say you saw him and he fled

Yeah…..yeah…..yeah that’s what I said

There is mumbling out the crowd

Faster than the word of mouth

Is the spirit of doubt
