Years ago a black man couldn't be a cop |
|
They could only be great dancers |
|
When the whole police department was white |
|
Justice, was the black panthers |
|
We've been robbed of our religion |
|
Our government and social position |
|
And you won't see no quick solution |
|
Until you see the black revolution |
|
But when them come to arrest a |
|
Black man, they need 30 cops or more.. well now |

Black man, they need 30 cops or more.. well now hey |

"he's gonna get across the border before we can catch him" |
|
*dogs barking* |
|
"just let me draw a bead on his black ass and he's dead" |
|
*dogs barking* |
|
They arrest us by the hour |
|
Cause the black man in the ghetto has power |
|
If he would wake up and unite |
|
The police department would lose the fight |
|
But when them come to arrest a |

Black man, they need 30 cops or more.. well now |
