Mr. Bailey complains that his rep is trash So heâs seeking compensation in the form of cash Bailey thinks heâs 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 has 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 itâs 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 pleasinâ 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 didnât address? Those false light charges that so disturbed Prompted from Bailey not a single word.
So highly objectionable, it could not be âBailey 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 Baileyâs case substantially blown
The lyrics are stories no one would take as fact Theyâre an exaggeration of a childish act Any reasonable person could clearly see That the lyrics could only be hyperbole
It is therefore this Courtâs ultimate position That Eminem is entitled to summary disposition.
