Papoose - Law Library (Part 2) lyrics

"This is just a briefing of the knowledge I process

In the belly of the beast they put you to the test

My law library, what chapter is next?

Section 120.10 "Warrant of Arrest," Law Library"

Section 120.10 "Warrant of Arrest," Law Library

I promised you the rest

Call your friends on they Sidekicks and Blackberries

Tell 'em Papoose droppin' that Law Library

Take these bars and put 'em in your conversary

But you can't shop with that, you need fedy

Acquire this knowledge by any means necessary

Welcome to part 2, Law Library

A local criminal court has a process

It's procedures they gotta go through to make arrest

If you don't understand I'll explain it

The soul function of this process is to bring you in for arraignment

Cops looking for you with guns, kinda dangerous

A bounty on your head illustrated

A piece of paper subscribed by an issuing judge

That contains the name of the court, the date it was issued, and a name

Or a title of an offense, the defendants full name

Nickname or government

Yeah man, they even write your nickname

Underneath is the police officer it reads his name

It's a court issued document with these things on it

This piece of paper has a name, it's called a warrant

Had a previous court date and you ignored it

Try not to make police contact, you got a warrant

Left a phone number at your crib, told you to call it

Ridin' around with your picture, you got a warrant

You got two choices on one hand

Do the Gingerbread Man, "Catch me if you can"

Living off the land, live on the lamb

You just a nephew to Uncle Tom and Uncle Sam

On the other hand if you street educated with a good lawyer

You could have the warrant vacated

If you got the bail money and you Thug-A-Cated

Fight the case from the outside, regulate it

Cause when a criminal action has been commenced

To issue a warrant they gotta get the court convinced

So they file what's called an accusatory instrument

They go through drastic measures to seek imprisonment

But if the instrument is not sufficient on its face

They paperwork ain't right they lookin' outta place

They didn't produce enough evidence, check this

That accusatory instrument get dismissed

No warrant is granted now the cop's pissed

Back out on the streets lookin' for a snitch

This goes out to all of my niggaz who on parole

You think it's a game 'cause you cool with your P.O

He's under supervision of his bosses

So if you ever slip, he gotta execute the warrant

He might care for ya but he authorized by his director

Within his geographical area

If you living on the run when the cops get you

They gotta inform you that a warrant has been issued

As long as you know your rights and you ask for it

Upon your request they gotta show you the warrant

So when they run up on you when you in the projects

Diggin' in your clothes pullin' out ya objects

Wanna bring you in for questioning man that's nonsense

I don't wanna talk if it's not a warrant for my arrest

What's the next chapter in my memory?

Section 105.35 "Conspiracy," Law Library
