Just checkin on you, cause time has slowed up
See you sittin by yourself, so what’s up
Can we start off with your name
Hey love, back up
You pressin on me, I ain’t got no love
Ain’t in the mood for talkin
Please don’t hype me up
Bet if you just took a chance to see
(If you bout it, tell me)
Bet if you just took a chance on me
(Don’t be shy just net me)
I wont cross you up, i’ll shoot for three
(Don’t be shy baby)
Promise layups ain’t my guarantee
Bet you never knew
This love was made for you
Baby just come and see my view
Boy it's just me and you
Yeah, look
Saying what you can't show leads to
Judging what you don't know
But I trust all that I do know is you are true
We so cool
While we chill back, lay out secrets
In the distance from the campus
All good vibes felt under a light that is blue
Mmm
Your voice so poetic
The charm to my spirit
Your laugh makes me giddy
Your words are my healing
I wish you could stay forever
Yet you gotta zoom
I miss you forever and ever
See you are so clever
Existence to me being better
Wish I could develop my letter
Four pages times two
In time we are due
Mmm
Bet if you just took a chance to see
(If you bout it, tell me)
Bet if you just took a chance on me
(Don’t be shy just net me)
I wont cross you up, i’ll shoot for three
(Don’t be shy baby)
Promise layups ain’t my guarantee
Bet you never knew
This love was made for you
Baby just come and see my view
Boy it's just me and you
I’m just confessin
The past, it got me stressin
And it ain’t from years ago
It’s more like from yesterday
You say you’ll take pain away
But I don’t want that for you
I wanna love you like you’re my dream come true
I’m sending you a four page letter
And imma close it with this kiss
I’m writing you
In hopes that you, give me some time
Cause you can be mine
I bet if you
Oh I bet if you
I wont cross you up
Promise layups ain't my guarantee
Bet you never knew
This love was made for you
Baby just come and see my view
Boy it's just me and you
The song "Justice" by J.A.M explores themes of love, vulnerability, and the desire for a deeper connection. The lyrics convey a sense of longing, as the singer reaches out to someone they are interested in. The opening lines set the tone, with the singer checking in on the person they are addressing, noting that time feels like it has slowed down. They express curiosity about the person's state of mind and initiate a conversation by asking for their name.
However, the singer appears hesitant and guarded, as they quickly shut down advances from the other person, stating that they are not in the mood for talking. This could suggest that they have been previously hurt or are apprehensive about opening up. They acknowledge feeling "messed up in the brain," implying some emotional baggage that potentially prevents them from fully embracing a new relationship.
Amidst this cautious approach, there is a glimmer of hope. The singer believes that if given a chance, the other person would come to see their true intentions. They express a willingness to take a chance on love and promise not to deceive or hurt the other person.

There is a longing for the other person's presence, even though they acknowledge that circumstances may prevent them from being together. The singer expresses a desire for a lasting bond, picturing a future where they can develop and grow in love.
The song concludes with the singer confessing their past struggles and stress, which may have influenced their apprehension towards love. They express a desire to love the other person sincerely and passionately. The mention of a four-page letter signifies a deep level of emotional investment and a willingness to put in effort for the relationship. Ultimately, the song ends with the singer hoping for a positive response and the opportunity to explore the potential of their connection.
In summary, "Justice" delves into the complexities of love, vulnerability, and the longing for a deep relationship.

This is probably my favorite "freestyle" battle of all time. The written battles today are good sometimes, but there's something about watching somebody come off the dome like Justice and The Saurus that is just a lot more impressive than battlers like Iron Solomon, who write most of their lines beforehand. You can really tell that both of them are just really talented in flowing off the dome.
V. blakheart
there are two types of freestyles in hip hop those with "writtens" and those off the top of the dome....obviously the freestyles off of the top get way more props and respect

Something I just realized: At the end of Justice's 2nd, he said, "you can't bust through me"...which meant if he'd had a little more time, he would have used his prebuttal for the "Justice is served" line (as he did in Australia before), "yeah, he serves justice because he raps like Judge Judy."

"Australian? A less distinguished version of an English person" has to be some of the tightest rhymes ever kicked off the dome
