[00:00.00] |
Woop-woop! That's the sound of da police! x3 |
[00:07.64] |
Woop-woop! That's the sound of the beast! (Yes, indeed!) |
[00:10.10] |
Woop-woop! That's the sound of da police! x3 |
[00:17.72] |
Woop-woop! That's the sound of the beast! (Yes, indeed) |
[00:30.12] |
Stand clear! Don man a-talk |
[00:32.53] |
You can't stand where I stand, you can't walk where I walk |
[00:34.99] |
Watch out! We run New York |
[00:37.65] |
Police man come, we bust him out the park |
[00:40.48] |
I know this for a fact, you don't like how I act |
[00:42.93] |
You claim I'm sellin' crack, but you be doin' that |
[00:45.24] |
I'd rather say \"see ya\"! Cause I would never be ya |
[00:47.84] |
Be a officer? You WICKED overseer! |
[00:50.32] |
Ya hotshot, wanna get props and be a saviour |
[00:52.82] |
First show a little respect, change your behavior |
[00:55.41] |
Change your attitude, change your plan |
[00:57.60] |
There could never really be justice on stolen land |
[01:00.67] |
Are you really for peace and equality? |
[01:03.16] |
Or when my car is hooked up, you know you wanna follow me |
[01:05.91] |
Your laws are minimal |
[01:07.74] |
Cause you won't even think about lookin' at the real criminal |
[01:11.27] |
This has got to cease |
[01:13.42] |
Cause we be getting HYPED to the sound of da police! |
[01:16.00] |
Woop-woop! That's the sound of da police!x4 |
[01:25.93] |
Now here's a likkle truth, open up your eye |
[01:28.36] |
While you're checking out the boom-bap, check the exercise |
[01:31.02] |
Take the word \"overseer\" like a sample |
[01:33.17] |
Repeat it very quickly in a crew for example |
[01:36.20] |
Overseer x4 |
[01:39.69] |
Officer x4 |
[01:41.45] |
Yeah, officer from overseer |
[01:43.37] |
You need a little clarity? |
[01:44.80] |
Check the similarity! |
[01:46.25] |
The overseer rode around the plantation |
[01:48.66] |
The officer is off patroling all the nation |
[01:50.92] |
The overseer could stop you what you're doing |
[01:53.58] |
The officer will pull you over just when he's pursuing |
[01:56.51] |
The overseer had the right to get ill |
[01:58.54] |
And if you fought back, the overseer had the right to kill |
[02:01.68] |
The officer has the right to arrest |
[02:03.27] |
And if you fight back to put a hole in your chest! |
[02:06.28] |
(Woop!) |
[02:06.98] |
They both ride horses |
[02:08.55] |
After 400 years, I've got no choices! |
[02:11.30] |
The police them have a little gun |
[02:13.70] |
So when I'm on the streets, I walk around with a bigger one |
[02:16.66] |
(Woop-woop!) |
[02:17.98] |
I hear it all day |
[02:19.24] |
Just so they can run the light and be upon their way |
[02:21.98] |
(Yes, indeed!)x4 |
[02:31.70] |
Woop-woop! That's the sound of da police! x4 |
[02:41.70] |
Check out the message in a rough stylee |
[02:43.98] |
The real criminals are the C-O-P |
[02:46.66] |
You check for undercover and the one PD |
[02:49.00] |
But just a mere Black man, them want check me |
[02:51.58] |
Them check out me car for it shine like the sun |
[02:54.16] |
But them jealous or them vexed cause them can't afford one |
[02:56.72] |
Black peopl still slaves up 'til today |
[02:59.11] |
But the Black police officer nah see it that way |
[03:01.60] |
Him want a salary, him want it |
[03:04.42] |
So he put on a badge and kill people for it |
[03:06.94] |
My grandfather had to deal with the cops |
[03:09.70] |
My great-grandfather dealt with the cops |
[03:12.00] |
My GREAT grandfather had to deal with the cops |
[03:14.12] |
And then my great, great, great, great... when it's gonna stop?! |
[03:17.18] |
