[Intro - spoken, cold and measured] February 2026. Melbourne. Tony Mokbel... the kingpin who fled to Greece in a wig. Out on the streets a free man. Not because he was innocent... But because the police and his own lawyer ran a joint criminal enterprise. [Verse 1 - rapid, tightly rhythmic rap] Eighteen years inside the max-security cage, While the Herald Sun printed out page after page. The biggest drug baron that Melbourne ever knew, Thought he was locked away forever with the crew. Outrage in the city, public screaming at the screen, How could the biggest boss walk away clean? It wasn't a loophole or a magic trick in court, It was a historic blunder of the highest sort. Nicola Gobbo... Lawyer X on the line, Taking millions in defense while she sabotaged the design. Feeding secret files to the detective squad, Playing both sides underneath the eyes of God. [Pre-Chorus - chopped vocal, rising tension] Lawyer X... double agent... police conspiracy! From the top-tier firm to the secret wire tape, Setting up the system so there's no escape! [Chorus - shouted group hook] LAWYER X PLAYED THE SYSTEM FROM THE INSIDE OUT! Leaving the entire justice department in doubt! A joint criminal enterprise beneath the law badge, Pushing Tony Mokbel right over the edge! TONY MOKBEL WALKS OUT THE FRONT DOOR! Tainted evidence... case dismissed... free man now... The state broke the rules and they couldn't fight no more! [Verse 2 - rapid, clipped delivery] Every single statement poisoned by the secret trade, Every guilty verdict on a dirty foundation laid. The Supreme Court ruled the evidence was stained, Not a single valid charge in the court remained. Reduced the final sentence down to thirteen years, While the public reacted with anger and fears. Served eighteen long ones in the heavy iron cell, So Mokbel paid his dues in the Melbourne hell. Twenty years old, the old charges died away, Prosecution dropped the case on a Friday day. [Chorus - shouted group hook] LAWYER X PLAYED THE SYSTEM FROM THE INSIDE OUT! Leaving the entire justice department in doubt! A joint criminal enterprise beneath the law badge, Pushing Tony Mokbel right over the edge! TONY MOKBEL WALKS OUT THE FRONT DOOR! Tainted evidence... case dismissed... free man now... The state broke the rules and they couldn't fight no more! [Bridge - spoken over stripped sub bass and metallic pulses] The law is absolute. If the state breaks the rules to lock you away... The whole trial crumbles to dust. Mokbel isn't the first... and he won't be the last. [Final Chorus - maximum intensity] LAWYER X PLAYED THE SYSTEM FROM THE INSIDE OUT! Leaving the entire justice department in doubt! A joint criminal enterprise beneath the law badge, Pushing Tony Mokbel right over the edge! TONY MOKBEL WALKS OUT THE FRONT DOOR! Tainted evidence... case dismissed... free man now... The state broke the rules and they couldn't fight no more! [Outro - spoken, fading tension] Case withdrawn. Tony Mokbel walks free. Game over.
