Krs-one - Sound Of Da Police Lyrics
Chorus:Woop-woop!Thats the sound of da police!Woop-woop!Thats the sound of the beast!Verse one:Stand clear! don man a-talkYou cant stand where I stand, you cant walk where I walkWatch out! we run new yorkPolice man come, we bust him out the parkI know this for a fact, you dont like how I actYou claim Im sellin crackBut you be doin thatId rather say see yaCause I would never be yaBe a officer? you wicked overseer!Ya hotshot, wanna get props and be a saviourFirst show a little respect, change your behaviorChange your attitude, change your planThere could never really be justice on stolen landAre you really for peace and equality?Or when my car is hooked up, you know you wanna follow meYour laws are minimalCause you wont even think about lookin at the real criminalThis has got to ceaseCause we be getting hyped to the sound of da police!ChorusVerse two:Now heres a likkle truthOpen up your eyeWhile youre checking out the boom-bap, check the exerciseTake the word overseer, like a sampleRepeat it very quickly in a crew for exampleOverseerOverseerOverseerOverseerOfficer, officer, officer, officer!Yeah, officer from overseerYou need a little clarity?Check the similarity!The overseer rode around the plantationThe officer is off patroling all the nationThe overseer could stop you what youre doingThe officer will pull you over just when hes pursuingThe overseer had the right to get illAnd if you fought back, the overseer had the right to killThe officer has the right to arrestAnd if you fight back they put a hole in your chest!(woop!) they both ride horsesAfter 400 years, Ive _got_ no choices!The police them have a little gunSo when Im on the streets, I walk around with a bigger one(woop-woop!) I hear it all dayJust so they can run the light and be upon their wayChorusVerse three:Check out the message in a rough styleeThe real criminals are the c-o-pYou check for undercover and the one pdBut just a mere black man, them want check meThem check out me car for it shine like the sunBut them jealous or them vexed cause them cant afford oneBlack people still slaves up til todayBut the black police officer nah see it that wayHim want a salaryHim want itSo he put on a badge and kill people for itMy grandfather had to deal with the copsMy great-grandfather dealt with the copsMy great grandfather had to deal with the copsAnd then my great, great, great, great... when its gonna stop? !Chorus
