Judge Bad Rap

My name is Judge Rap and I'm pretty bad
I fear not God and I fear not man
If you've done wrong you can not hide,
'Cause the law in these parts is whatever I decide.

People come from all around
To hear the bad judgements that I hand down
If you've got a problem, listen and learn
Or get in line and wait your turn:

Avenge me! Avenge me of my adversary!
For I am a widow. I am alone.
Will you avenge and defend me?

Sister, what's got into you.
When you come to Rap Court, you gotta Rap too!
I ain't gonna help you, Don't look at me!
Go take care of your own enemy.

Yeah, my name is Judge Rap and I'm pretty bad.
I fear not God and I fear not man.
Who's next? Come on! Get up to the line!
Just remember to rap and rhyme.

This woman and I live in the same home.
She had a baby and I had my own
You know that no one was there, and I don't lie!
But then one night, her baby died.

She took my baby right from my bed that night
And next to me lay down her own baby - dead.
I woke to a dead child! I started to cry!
But when I looked again I saw the baby was not mine.


She lies! She lies! The living is my son!
I'm sorry for her, but I know hers is the dead one!
She lies! She lies!
Just tell us who's the mother of the baby that's alive.

Hey, that's enough, I get the picture!
But girls, I gotta say you're in the wrong book of scripture.
Now, I'm a good judge, I'm almost a saint!
But I know my limits and Solomon I ain't.

So hop on a camel, ride back a thousand years.
If you wanna impress 'em just tell 'em you were here.
Maybe Solomon has heard of me 'cause I'm pretty good –
In fact I know they want my story back in Hollywood.

Avenge me! Avenge me!
For I am a widow. I am alone.
Will you avenge and defend me?

Girl, we gotta have a little chat,'Cause if you want help, then you must rap
All you gotta do is speak in time,
Now just stay away until you've learned to rhyme! Next!


My name is Soddom and I am Gommorah.
You'll know that we are VIPs if you read your Torah.
We heard we were expected up at the court,
So Soddom and Gommorah are here to report

My name is Judge Rap and I'm bad it's true,
But I ain't got a punishment bad enough for you.
You'll have to go up to the court on high
But keep an eye on the sky, 'cause if it rains, you'll fry

Avenge me! Avenge me of my adversary!
For I am a widow. I am alone.
Will you avenge and defend me?


Sister, you gotta rap and rhyme
If you can't learn, then you're wastin' my time.
So just go away, don't be such a pest.
I’ll take one more case but then I gotta have a rest.

Avenge me! Avenge me!
For I am a widow. I am alone.
Will you avenge? Will you avenge?
Will you avenge and defend me?


All right all right! I will avenge!
I've gotta do something 'cause I'm at my wits end!
If you can get me to finally help you,
Just think what joy persistent prayers can bring to you!
