Sound of da Police |
| Woop woop! |
| That’s the sound of da police! |
| Woop woop! |
| That’s the sound of the beast! |
| Verse One: |
| Stand clear! |
| Don man a talk |
| You can’t stand where I stand you can’t walk where I walk |
| Watch out! |
| We run New York |
| Police man come we bust him out the park |
| I know this for a fact you don’t like how I act |
| You claim I’m sellin' crack |
| But you be doin' that |
| I’d rather say «see ya» |
| Cause I would never be ya Be a officer? |
| You WICKED overseer! |
| Ya hotshot, wanna get props and be a saviour |
| First show a little respect, change your behavior |
| Change your attitude, change your plan |
| There could never really be justice on stolen land |
| Are you really for peace and equality? |
| Or when my car is hooked up, you know you wanna follow me Your laws are minimal |
| Cause you won’t even think about lookin' at the real criminal |
| This has got to cease |
| Cause we be getting HYPED to the sound of da police! |
| Chorus |
| Verse Two: |
| Now here’s a likkle truth |
| Open up your eye |
| While you’re checking out the boom-bap, check the exercise |
| Take the word «overseer,"like a sample |
| Repeat it very quickly in a crew for example |
| Overseer |
| Overseer |
| Overseer |
| Overseer |
| Officer, Officer, Officer, Officer! |
| Yeah, officer from overseer |
| You need a little clarity? |
| Check the similarity! |
| The overseer rode around the plantation |
| The officer is off patroling all the nation |
| The overseer could stop you what you’re doing |
| The officer will pull you over just when he’s pursuing |
| The overseer had the right to get ill |
| And if you fought back, the overseer had the right to kill |
| The officer has the right to arrest |
| And if you fight back they put a hole in your chest! |
| (Woop!) They both ride horses |
| After 400 years, I’ve _got_ no choices! |
| The police them have a little gun |
| So when I’m on the streets, I walk around with a bigger one |
| (Woop-woop!) I hear it all day |
| Just so they can run the light and be upon their way |
| Chorus |
| Verse Three: |
| Check out the message in a rough stylee |
| The real criminals are the C-O-P |
| You check for undercover and the one PD |
| But just a mere Black man, them want check me Them check out me car for it shine like the sun |
| But them jealous or them vexed cause them can’t afford one |
| Black people still slaves up til today |
| But the Black police officer nah see it that way |
| Him want a salary |
| Him want it So he put on a badge and kill people for it My grandfather had to deal with the cops |
| My great-grandfather dealt with the cops |
| My GREAT grandfather had to deal with the cops |
| And then my great, great, great, great… when it’s gonna stop?! |
| Chorus |
