Hypocritical Vindication
In Court (Today)
David looked too complacent for the charges at hand
On the ropes, lost in hopes of options since damned
They'd said their sentiments, set a clear body of evidence
Had the defendant's points painted as haughty and nebulous
Obviously he was guilty, built these drug empires
Ran up something higher than the thugs and liars
The judge spoke slowly, tongue broke coldly the silence
Crowd's imaginations ran, re-showing his violence
"I know you've been waiting for this statement but since
new evidence has just been found the case is dismissed!"
Shock shot around the scene, several people loudly screamed
David simply smiled, it all had happened how he dreamed
The Day Before
"Your honor, we have something to present that's relevant
Something you haven't considered, the last element"
"Very well, bring it forth, and what could be the source?
The case won't change unless this item swings some force"
The lawyer slid a small black box across the table
Unmarked or labeled which no one saw as fatal
More important was what got slipped in underhand
Several stacks of green bills worth at least a hundred grand
In Court (Today)
Awe still rippled through the crowd as police entered the room
Turns out it never was David being sent to his doom
Cops ran to the judge with cuffs, put a gun to his chest
With thunderous zest screaming 'you're under arrest!'
"We thought you were corrupt see how you blatantly lie
This was a string operation to catch you taking a bribe!"
