A local criminal court has a process It's procedures they gotta go through to make arrest If you don't understand I'll explain it The soul function of this process is to bring you in for arraignment Cops looking for you with guns, kinda dangerous A bounty on your head illustrated A piece of paper subscribed by an issuing judge That contains the name of the court, the date it was issued, and a name Or a title of an offense, the defendants full name Nickname or government Yeah man, they even write your nickname Underneath is the police officer it reads his name It's a court issued document with these things on it This piece of paper has a name, it's called a warrant Had a previous court date and you ignored it Try not to make police contact, you got a warrant Left a phone number at your crib, told you to call it Ridin' around with your picture, you got a warrant You got two choices on one hand Do the Gingerbread Man, "Catch me if you can" Living off the land, live on the lamb You just a nephew to Uncle Tom and Uncle Sam On the other hand if you street educated with a good lawyer You could have the warrant vacated If you got the bail money and you Thug-A-Cated Fight the case from the outside, regulate it Cause when a criminal action has been commenced To issue a warrant they gotta get the court convinced So they file what's called an accusatory instrument They go through drastic measures to seek imprisonment But if the instrument is not sufficient on its face They paperwork ain't right they lookin' outta place They didn't produce enough evidence, check this That accusatory instrument get dismissed No warrant is granted now the cop's pissed Back out on the streets lookin' for a snitch This goes out to all of my niggaz who on parole You think it's a game 'cause you cool with your P.O He's under supervision of his bosses So if you ever slip, he gotta execute the warrant He might care for ya but he authorized by his director Within his geographical area If you living on the run when the cops get you They gotta inform you that a warrant has been issued As long as you know your rights and you ask for it Upon your request they gotta show you the warrant So when they run up on you when you in the projects Diggin' in your clothes pullin' out ya objects Wanna bring you in for questioning man that's nonsense I don't wanna talk if it's not a warrant for my arrest What's the next chapter in my memory? Section 105.35 "Conspiracy," Law Library
