[01:47.90]You stood out your chest and started actin hard
[01:50.33]You took off your Fila shirt and your Reebok shoes
[01:52.76]And had the nerve to call the police a bunch of fools
[01:55.28]You called en pigs (sissies) and even punks
[01:58.01]While the Batterram battery needed a jump
[02:00.39]And by the time it got started you fell to the floor
[02:02.87]And that's when the cops said they can't take no more
