Rick Rubin - Terry v. Ohio (99 Problems Remix) {AP GOVT Project} lyrics

[Verse 1] I got my GATT in hand With nefarious plans / To make some quick bank With my right hand man / Staring through the window look at all we bout to take / Circle around a couple times make sure our plan is straight / Then we conferred with our third Tell us what's the word / Is everything clear Then I perked up my ears / I see a cop coming The long arm of the law / Pushed our backs against the wall Patted me down and found my firearm/ They took me in and charged me with carrying concealed / McFadden didn't even have a warrant to find what his pat down revealed / So I took my case to trial where I was tried by 12 / Straight out of my country blues because I couldn't post bail / The court decided because me and my mans were suspicious / That the officer was justified damn I was livid / And They also established the difference between an arrest and a stop / I got 99 problems and the 4th ain't one/ [Chorus] 99 problems and the 4th ain't one / If you're having legal problems I feel bad for you son / I got 99 problems and the 4th ain't one/ [Verse 2] Went to the court of appeals trying to catch a break for your boy / But they maintained There was no constitutional issue Oy vey / Big government encroaching on my civil liberties / So I went to the Supreme Court Ohio v John Terry / Now my lawyer louis strokes in front of Chief Justice Warren / Tryna get the break of justice that ya boy warrants/ Get them to recognize that McFadden needs to get a real warrant/ Or let this young brother free It seems real simple to me / I wasn't a threat to the officer / Why should my innocence be put in question Because the man has some sort of sixth sense / And to prove his suspicion he infringes on my 4th amendment/ He's never seen a stick up before I doubt he'd recognize one if it hit him / Now I wait for the decision I hope strokes did his job / Im not planning on staying behind bars for too long / I can't wait to hear the outcome cause I know I won / I got 99 problems and the fourth ain't one/ [Chorus] [Verse 3] June 10th I wake up and I'm ready for my release / Tell the warden to let me out I'm out of here homie peace / Then I heard from my lawyer that I wasn't going anywhere / That I'm staying right here But to me it wasn't clear / The decision came out and 8-1 the court held / The search was reasonable under the Fourth Amendment Oh well / Man I just don't get it Get me the majority opinion / Tell me what the man was saying I'm tryna listen / The court found that officer McFadden acted on more than a hunch / Any reasonable man would think I was armed and as such/ It's a-ok in the eyes of the law / The search was limited in scope and protected the officer / So now I'm out of luck Nobody can help me now / Stuck in this jail cell For however long they got me down / All this hoopla I made and I didn't even won / I got 99 problems now the 4th is one / [Chorus] 99 problems now the 4th is one / If you're having legal problems I feel bad for you son / I got 99 problems now the 4th is one/
