Chorus
All rise for me (all rise for me all eyes on me, watch my progression court is in session)
Ain't nobody stops my flows as if you didn't know
All eyes on me (all rise for me all eyes on me, watch my progression court is in session)
I've been doing it for sometime, i'm back to blow ya mind!

Rap (verse 1)
Court is in session i'm the judge jury and the prosecution, my word cos mine conjugus
Ain't no need for confusion i'm here to stay me in the rap game party together like fusion
I wanna talk to Illuminati wanna let you ladies whose first hits screen gets me bar
I was dedicated to the party touring oversea spreading our culture to different nationality
From MC like calories what ya need to do is pay homage and make some sister challenge me
Like i said just me on wax i'll be of value and it'll happen when you least expected exactly
If it ain't rough, I can do without it and some of you all MCs in hiphop just making the game crowded
Let's play a little game of elimination or detonation, separate the rack like segregation
Chorus
All rise for me (all rise for me all eyes on me, watch my progression court is in session)
Ain't nobody stops my flows as if you didn't know
All eyes on me (all rise for me all eyes on me, watch my progression court is in session)
I've been doing it for sometime, i'm back to blow ya mind!

Rap (verse 2)
You know whats up choice stay on my piece you ain't no rapper you just play one on TV or radio and CD
Acting like you wanna see me but really cheeky geek i ain't see me
Check out my whole unit row this new kid study my scripts like the dead sea scroll
My M.O i'm in the back of a stretch land-cruise limo paying customer shot dollar dicussing
You see i am trying to hear nothing so i'm back to recap like Elmino, winds blow, clouds thunder spins the earth off its axis
Me slash rapper, slash actress, slash if you trying to front we get your ass kicked, we used P.O.W torture tactics
Who trying to get at us, cos my friends i feel pleasure in your pain like i should never
I should bronx my pimp we should be hanging platinum, pix i'm stackin' em
Classics from me is automatic, i keep' em hitting in the attic
Ladies rock to this, fellas on the floor grab your crotch to this, watch my progression court is in session
Chorus

Rap (verse 3)
Flog your interest, pay attention to every sentence, all rise for me, all eyes on me
Send a shout-out of respect to all my people living, check the check it's gonna be alright
I rule in favor of the unit with a flavour, we make moves this major, this style coming like a pager
And we don't need that feedback, keep that, i know your crew is off the hook, we off the meat-rat
See that i know you wanna be like us real, already we that you can't be that, believe that
Make you jump outta your gatters and boots, sweats and limo suits, we winning my records on the table spinning
All our pockets getting fat while you thinning, you can't fade us we've been hustling since beginning
Put you hands in the air even if you hate us, we master of profession, court is in session
Chorus till fade
