[INTRO — 4 bars, dispatch voice over scanner static, cold] Caller reports a suspicious male in the lot. Subject is on scene. (whoop… whoop…) [HOOK — 8 bars, single voice opening into full gang vocal] I GOT NOTHING TO HIDE — (whoop whoop) AND YOU STILL AIN'T LOOKIN' INSIDE! (whoop whoop) I can plead the Fifth, I can take the Fourth, I got nothing to hide and I'm still sayin' NO. [VERSE — 12 bars, fast and mean, half-time under a double-time flow] Pinned from behind by some men that know my face, I clean this building — y'all have SEEN me here. "We got a call. Mysterious man in the lot." Homie, I'm the ONLY man in the lot. "We got a call. Little kid took off runnin'." Ain't been a child out here since the sun dropped. Who called? Say the name. Say the time. You can't — 'cause the call ain't the cause, it's the frame. "Well — you wouldn't mind if we took a quick look?" Only a guilty man says no. That's the hook. That's the trap, fam. That's the whole damn trap: YOU MADE MY RIGHT THE EVIDENCE. [HOOK — 8 bars, doubled, low growl underneath, whoops answering every line] I GOT NOTHING TO HIDE — (whoop whoop) AND YOU STILL AIN'T LOOKIN' INSIDE! (whoop whoop) I can plead the Fifth, I can take the Fourth, I got nothing to hide and I'm still sayin' NO. [BREAKDOWN INTO OUTRO — beat strips to kick and calliope. Camera comes up. Build the growl across the three passes. This is the last thirty seconds — let it get ugly.] First Amendment gave us all press credentials — didn't need a badge, didn't need a boss. Public sidewalk, public building, public cost. I can record what my own two eyes can see. That ain't a crime — that's the FLOOR of free. (spoken. level. almost calm. the calm is the threat.) There's no expectation of privacy in public. …Don't you hear that? (rising — half-spat, jaw tight, drums come back in on the downbeat) MUTHAFUCKA — there's NO EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY IN PUBLIC. DID YOU HEAR THAT? (WHOOP WHOOP) (full growl. drag the M. throat wide open. gang vocals stacked behind him.) MMMMMUTHAFUKA — DID YOU HEAR THAT? (WHOOP WHOOP) DID YOU HEAR THAT, MUTHAFUKA?! (WHOOP WHOOP) I SAID DID YOU HEAR THAT — (WHOOP WHOOP) (EVERYTHING CUTS. two full seconds of nothing but scanner squelch. the lot is quiet. nobody answered him.) "…Subject is on scene." (whoop… whoop…)
