Boogie Down Productions - 30 Cops Or More Lyrics
[krs-one]When they arrest aBlack man, they need 30 cops or more.. well nowWhen they arrest aBlack man, they need 30 cops or more.. well now heyIf you a black herb smugglerThey will, watch you by the hourIt only means that if you have more moneyThen you have more powerThey will come in the nightAnd they will read you your rightsThere is no need to fightIf youre black there is no need to fightBut when them come to arrest aBlack man, they need 30 cops or more.. well nowWhen they arrest aBlack man, they need 30 cops or more.. well now heyYears ago a black man couldnt be a copThey could only be great dancersWhen the whole police department was whiteJustice, was the black panthersWeve been robbed of our religionOur government and social positionAnd you wont see no quick solutionUntil you see the black revolutionBut when them come to arrest aBlack man, they need 30 cops or more.. well nowWhen they arrest aBlack man, they need 30 cops or more.. well now heyHes gonna get across the border before we can catch him*dogs barking*Just let me draw a bead on his black ass and hes dead*dogs barking*They arrest us by the hourCause the black man in the ghetto has powerIf he would wake up and uniteThe police department would lose the fightBut when them come to arrest aBlack man, they need 30 cops or more.. well nowWhen they arrest aBlack man, they need 30 cops or more.. well now heyIf you a black herb smugglerThey will, watch you by the hourIt only means that if you have more moneyThen you have more powerThey will come in the nightAnd they will read you your rightsThere is no need to fightIf youre black there is no need to fightBut when them come to arrest aBlack man, they need 30 cops or more.. well nowWhen they arrest aBlack man, they need 30 cops or more.. well now heyHes gonna get across the border before we can catch him*dogs barking*Just let me draw a bead on his black ass and hes dead*dogs barking*Hes gonna make itLet the dogs go!No I wont do it!Hes got full, theyve only got twoTheyll tear him apart, I wont do itLet the dogs go!Turn loose those dogs!
