[Chorus]
2
Woop-woop!
3
That's the sound of da police!
4
Woop-woop!
5
That's the sound of the beast!
6
Stand clear! Don man a-talk
7
You can't stand where I stand, you can't walk where I walk
8
Watch out! We run New York
9
Police man come, we bust him out the park
10
I know this for a fact, you don't like how I act
11
You claim I'm sellin' crack
12
But you be doin' that
13
I'd rather say "see ya"
14
Cause I would never be ya
15
Be a officer? You wicked overseer!
16
Ya hotshot, want to get props and be a savior
17
First show a little respect, change your behavior
18
Change your attitude, change your plan
19
There could never really be justice on stolen land
20
Are you really for peace and equality?
21
Or when my car is hooked up, you know you want to follow me
22
Your laws are minimal
23
Cause you won't even think about lookin' at the real criminal
24
This has got to cease
25
Cause we be getting hyped to the sound of da police!
26
[Chorus]
27
Now here's a likkle truth
28
Open up your eye
29
While you're checking out the boom-bap, check the exercise
30
Take the word "overseer," like a sample
31
Repeat it very quickly in a crew for example
32
Overseer
33
Overseer
34
Overseer
35
Overseer
36
Officer, Officer, Officer, Officer!
37
Yeah, officer from overseer
38
You need a little clarity?
39
Check the similarity!
40
The overseer rode around the plantation
41
The officer is off patrolling all the nation
42
The overseer could stop you what you're doing
43
The officer will pull you over just when he's pursuing
44
The overseer had the right to get ill
45
And if you fought back, the overseer had the right to kill
46
The officer has the right to arrest
47
And if you fight back they put a hole in your chest!
48
(Woop!) They both ride horses
49
After 400 years, I've got no choices!
50
The police them have a little gun
51
So when I'm on the streets, I walk around with a bigger one
52
(Woop-woop!) I hear it all day
53
Just so they can run the light and be upon their way
54
[Chorus]
55
Check out the message in a rough stylee
56
The real criminals are the see-O-P
57
You check for undercover and the one PD
58
But just a mere Black man, them want check me
59
Them check out me car for it shine like the sun
60
But them jealous or them vexed cause them can't afford one
61
Black people still slaves up til today
62
But the Black police officer nah see it that way
63
Him want a salary
64
Him want it
65
So he put on a badge and kill people for it
66
My grandfather had to deal with the cops
67
My great-grandfather dealt with the cops
68
My great grandfather had to deal with the cops
69
And then my great, great, great, great, when it's gonna stop?!
70
[Chorus]
