Millenium flow 

 Serena Altschul's here live outside the criminal courthouse 

 This is {bullshit} y'all 

 in New York City for the first day in the trial of 

 I'm gone {*car speeds off*} 

 the State vs. Shawn Carter,  Jay-Z 

 Uhh, uh-huh-uh, uhh, uh-huh-uh, uhh 

 Whatever the verdict in this trial may be 
the effects will undoubtedly be felt worldwide 


 
Aiyyo, stand forward, 'fore you take notice 
or witness to me killin the track 
Testify 'til me spillin the smack 
Now they got me for traffickin, racketeerin, audio crack 
{Hook:} They call me Dope Man, Dope Man 
I try to tell em I'm where hope, floats man 
Ghetto spokes-man 
A broke man, approachin the bench with intent 
to bury me under the cell, fingered me as the toast man 
Evidence stemmin from ninety-six 
They say the world ain't recovered from his fix 
While they was usin cut I was on some other shit 
Gave it to you raw and they just discovered it 
Now
