Boogie Down Productions - Who Protects Us From You? Lyrics
Verse(fy-ah! come down fas...)You were put here to protect usBut who protects us from you?Every time you say thats illegalDoesnt mean that thats true (uh-huh)Your authoritys never questionedNo-one questions youIf I hit you Ill be killedBut you hit me? I can sue (order! order!)Lookin through my history bookIve watched you as you grewKillin blacks and callin it the law(bo! bo! bo!) and worshipping jesus tooThere was a time when a black manCouldnt be down wit your crew (can I have a job please? )Now you want all the help you can getScared? well aint that true (you goddamn right)You were put here to protect usBut who protects us from you?Or should I say, who are you protecting?The rich? the poor? who?It seems that when you walk the ghettoYou walk wit your own point of view (look at that gold chain)You judge a man by the car he drivesOr if his hat match his shoe (yo, you lookin kinda fresh)Well, back in the days of sherlock holmesA man was judged by a clueNow hes judged by if hes spanish,Black, italian or jewSo do not kick my door down and tie me upWhile my wife cooks the stew (youre under arrest!)Cos you were put here to protect usBut who protects us from you?(a public service announcement brought to you by the scientists ofBoogie down productions. fy-ah! come again...)
