The song "Riddle for You" by JT Music is a rap song that uses the concept of riddles to explore the dark and complex nature of justice, crime, and the city of Gotham. In the lyrics, the song describes Gotham City as a place that is far from pretty and where the disenfranchised seek no pity. It talks about how justice, when it has nothing to lose, can become just as violent as any criminal, hiding behind a mask and using violence as a means to serve what it believes is righteous. It introduces the concept of a symbol hidden in the sky, representing something that is equally vindictive and cruel, turning victims into villains. The song also poses riddles to the listener, challenging them to figure out what is making the Knight (likely referring to Batman) so dark and what has a worse bite than bark. It mentions the cat, which may be a reference to Catwoman, and talks about the blind justice associated with Batman, who is as rabid as a bat. Further on, the lyrics delve into the idea of justice without proof, where it can deliver a verdict and execute without needing solid evidence. It talks about this concept as being synonymous with the speaker, possibly a villain or anti-hero, and how it can tie loose ends and keep score. It implies that justice can sometimes take matters into its own hands when the law fails. The song concludes by presenting the listener with a riddle about what can finish a job that the law couldn't do, helping those who have been cheated and robbed. It describes this as a dangerous intuition that can turn into poison if left to fester, leading to a false belief of being a hero. It suggests that if the listener fits this description, they are the answer to the riddle and the speaker is riddled with them. Overall, the song portrays Gotham City as a gritty and corrupt place where justice and crime are often indistinguishable. It challenges the listener to think about the complexities of justice, the blurred lines between heroes and villains, and the moral ambiguity that exists in a city like Gotham.
