Yo, [Am] y'all can't handle the truth in a courtroom of [Dm] lies.
Purges the jurors, witnesses, spies.
Crooked lawyers, false indictments, [Cm] publicizers,

legal actors, Babylon's [Gm] benefactors,
masquerading as the agency for [A] the clients,
[D] hypocritical giants, morally non [Dm]-compliant,

polluted, recruited, [Cm] and suited judicial charm,
[Gm] and the defense isn't making any sense,
[G] faking the confidence of escaping [Am] the consequence

of disinterested peers, [Cm] dodging duty for years,
he in the process, waiting to return to their careers,
[Am] do we expect the [Dm] system made for the elect

[Gm] legal extortion, blown out of proportion,
[Gm] in vain deceit, the truth is obsolete,

[Am] when son of a dishonest commander in [A] chief,
the standard is steep, brethren can we candidly [G] speak,
woe to the men, trusting in the chariots,
[Cm] they run their intellectual [Am] sources,
counterfeit wisdom, [Dm] creating the illusion of freedom,
confusion consumes them, every word they speak,
it then [D] turns them outwardly white,
internally they absent of life, [Gm] trapped in the night,
in bondage to the cane of the night,
[Am] under the curse, evil men waxing more worse,
[Dm] facts in the first, angelic being,
cast to the earth, it's time for [Cm] rebirth,
burning up the branch and the root,
[G] the empties, the suits of every tree,
bearing the wrong [A] fruit, turning the hill,
let him who stole no longer steal,
oh Israel, surrender for Jehovah is [Gm] real,
how long will you sleep, troubled by the thoughts,
that you [Cm] keep the idols, you heap,
[G] causing the destruction you [Am] reap,
judgment has come, find it and return to the [Dm] one,
abandon the flesh, self [Gm] interest,
broadway to death, pride and the greed,
[Cm] hiding, subdividing the seed,
the knowledge of good and evil is what caused us [Am] to lie,
caused us to die, [G] let your emotions be [Dm] crucified,
renounce all your thoughts, repent and let your mind be retaught,
[Gm] you'll find what you sought, was based on the deception you bought,
a perception of naught, where the majority [G#m] remains caught,
loving a [G] lie, not realizing an atom or die,
[Dm] loving a lie, not [G] realizing an atom or die,
loving a lie, not [Cm] realizing an atom or die,
loving a [Gm] lie, not realizing an atom or die,
