Woop, woop, that's the sound of da police |
| [00:07.94] |
Woop, woop, that's the sound of da beast |
| [00:10.00] |
Yes, indeed |
| [00:10.50] |
Woop, woop, that's the sound of da police |
| [00:12.81] |
Woop, woop, that's the sound of da beast |
| [00:15.43] |
Woop, woop, that's the sound of da police |
| [00:17.93] |
Woop, woop, that's the sound of da beast |
| [00:20.42] |
|
| [00:31.04] |
Yes, indeed |
| [00:31.54] |
Stand clear, don' man a talk, you can't stand where I stand |
| [00:34.47] |
You can't walk where I walk, watch out, we run New York |
| [00:38.03] |
Police man come, we bust him out the park |
| [00:40.88] |
I know this for a fact, you don't like how I act |
| [00:43.19] |
You claim I'm sellin' crack but you be doin' that |
| [00:45.68] |
I'd rather say "See ya" 'cause I would never be ya |
| [00:48.30] |
Be a officer? You wicked overseer |
| [00:50.74] |
Ya hotshot, wanna get props and be a saviour |
| [00:53.30] |
First show a little respect, change your behavior |
| [00:55.79] |
Change your attitude, change your plan |
| [00:58.35] |
There could never really be justice on stolen land |
| [01:01.39] |
Are you really for peace and equality? Or when my car is hooked up |
| [01:04.69] |
You know you wanna follow me, your laws are minimal |
| [01:07.99] |
'Cause you won't even think about lookin' at the real criminal |
| [01:10.43] |
|
| [01:12.16] |
This has got to cease |
| [01:13.65] |
'Cause we be getting hyped to the sound of da police |
| [01:16.27] |
Woop, woop, that's the sound of da police |
| [01:17.90] |
Woop, woop, that's the sound of da beast |
| [01:21.14] |
Woop, woop, that's the sound of da police |
| [01:23.70] |
Woop, woop, that's the sound of da beast |
| [01:26.20] |
Now, here's a likkle truth open up your eye |
| [01:28.63] |
While you're checking out the boom box, check the exercise |
| [01:30.56] |
Take the word "Overseer," like a sample |
| [01:33.62] |
Repeat it very quickly in a crew for example |
| [01:35.59] |
Overseer, overseer, overseer, overseer |
| [01:40.02] |
Officer, Officer, Officer, Officer, yeah, officer from overseer |
| [01:42.45] |
|
| [01:44.08] |
You need a little clarity? Check the similarity |
| [01:46.82] |
The overseer rode around the plantation |
| [01:48.01] |
The officer is off patroling all the nation |
| [01:51.75] |
The overseer couldn't stop you what you're doing |
| [01:53.97] |
The officer will pull you over just when he's pursuing |
| [01:56.84] |
The overseer had the right to get ill |
| [01:59.09] |
And if you fought back, the overseer had the right to kill |
| [02:01.83] |
The officer has the right to arrest |
| [02:03.95] |
And if you fight back they put a hole in your chest |
| [02:06.70] |
Woop, they both ride horses |
| [02:09.01] |
After 400 years, I've got no choices |
| [02:10.50] |
The police them have a little gun |
| [02:14.06] |
So when I'm on the streets, I walk around with a bigger one |
| [02:17.31] |
Woop, woop, I hear it all day |
| [02:19.30] |
Just so they can run the light and be upon their way |
| [02:21.80] |
|
| [02:23.17] |
Yes, indeed |
| [02:25.72] |
Yes, indeed |
| [02:28.03] |
Yes, indeed |
| [02:30.59] |
Yes, indeed |
| [02:32.15] |
Woop, woop, that's the sound of da police |
| [02:34.46] |
Woop, woop, that's the sound of da beast |
| [02:36.96] |
Woop, woop, that's the sound of da police |
| [02:39.45] |
Woop, woop, that's the sound of da beast |
| [02:42.39] |
Check out the message in a rough stylee |
| [02:44.38] |
The real criminals are the COP |
| [02:46.88] |
You check for undercover and the one PD |
| [02:49.44] |
But just a mere Black man, them want check me |
| [02:51.99] |
Them check out me car for it shine like the sun |
| [02:54.55] |
But them jealous or them vexed 'cause them can't afford one |
| [02:56.36] |
|
| [02:58.19] |
Black people still slaves up 'til today |
| [02:59.69] |
But the Black police officer nah see it that way |
| [03:01.76] |
Him want a salary, him want it |
| [03:04.38] |
So he put on a badge and kill people for it |
| [03:07.69] |
My grandfather had to deal with the cops |
| [03:10.24] |
My great-grandfather dealt with the cops |
| [03:12.43] |

| [03:14.74] |
