Sound Of Da Police

Woop woop! 
That's the sound of da police! 
Woop woop! 
That's the sound of the beast! 

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! 

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  

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?!
