Track 7. Lawyer X

V6

. [Intro - Rustling Legal Papers, Fast Whispering Sound FX, Nervous Jazz Drums, Spoken Monologue] (Spoken - thick UK accent, fast, low & paranoid) "Informer 3838... Representing the biggest killers in the city by day, Feeding their secrets to Purana by night. The ultimate conflict of interest." [Verse 1 - Fast Nervous Jazz Groove, Running Double Bass, Jagged Piano] Silk robe in the courtroom, briefcase in hand, Nicola Gobbo running legal across the land. Counsel to Mokbel, counsel to Carl, Navigating deep inside the underworld marl. Taking their retainers, sitting in the cell, Hearing every secret that the hitmen had to tell. Then walking out the side door, picking up the line, Handing over names on the police design. Double agent walking on a razor-blade edge, Trading client privilege for a secret state pledge. Feeding the taskforce the keys to the vault, While every gangster wondered whose bloody fault. [Pre-Chorus - Cold Staccato Violins & Fast Hi-Hat Rattles] (Scratch: "Informer 3838... dangerous game...") Playing both sides of the courtroom floor, Unlocking every single barricaded door! [Chorus - Paranoïde Electro-Jazz Groove, Swelling Strings, Driving Bass] LAWYER X WALKS THE TIGHTROPE OF DEATH! Betraying the mob with every single breath! From high-profile defense to the ultimate snitch, Selling out the syndicate to make the final switch! Yeah, LAWYER X, NO SAFE PLACE TO HIDE! (Scratch: "Legal ethics... burnt to the ground...") The biggest scandal that the state ever found! [Verse 2 - Gejaagde Delivery, Deep Synth Pulses, Staccato Brass Hits] Representing suspects while setting up their arrest, Putting her own life to the ultimate test. If the Carlton Crew found out who was on the phone, They’d leave her at the bottom of the bay all alone. Dismantled the defence from the inside out, Leaving gangland bosses in a wave of total doubt. Convictions secured, but the law took a hit, Royal Commission unraveling every single bit. Now living in the shadows
