Mr. Bailey complains that his rep is trash So hes seeking compensation in the form of cash Bailey thinks hes entitled to some monetary gain Because Eminem used his name in vain Eminem says Bailey used to throw him around Beat him up in the john, shoved his face in the ground Eminem contends that his rap is protected By the rights guaranteed by the first amendment Eminem maintains that the story is true And that Bailey beat him black and blue In the alternative he states that the story is phony And a reasonable person would think its baloney The Court must always balance the rights Of a defendant and one placed in a false light If the plaintiff presents no question of fact To dismiss is the only acceptable act If the language used is anything but pleasin It must be highly objectionable to a person of reason Even if objectionable and causing offense Self-help is the first line of defense Yet when Bailey actually spoke to the press What do you think he didnt address? Those false light charges that so disturbed Prompted from Bailey not a single word So highly objectionable, it could not be -- Bailey was happy to hear his name on a CD Bailey also admitted he was a bully in youth Which makes what Marshall said substantial truth This doctrine is a defense well known And renders Baileys case substantially blown The lyrics are stories no one would take as fact Theyre an exaggeration of a childish act Any reasonable person could clearly see That the lyrics could only be hyperbole It is therefore this Courts ultimate position That Eminem is entitled to summary disposition. -Judge Deborah Servitto (2003)
