Sound of da Police

Woop, woop, that's the sound of da police

Woop, woop, that's the sound of da beast

Woop, woop, that's the sound of da police

Woop, woop, that's the sound of da beast

Yes, indeed

Woop, woop, that's the sound of da police

Woop, woop, that's the sound of da beast

Woop, woop, that's the sound of da police

Woop, woop, that's the sound of da beast

Yes, indeed

Stand clear, don' man a talk, you can't stand where I stand

You can't walk where I walk, watch out, we run New York

Police man come, we bust him out the park

I know this for a fact, you don't like how I act

You claim I'm sellin' crack but you be doin' that

I'd rather say "See ya" 'cause I would never be ya

Be a officer? You wicked overseer

Ya hotshot, wanna get props and be a saviour

First show a little respect, change your behavior

Change your attitude, change your plan

There could never really be justice on stolen land

Are you really for peace and equality? Or when my car is hooked up

You know you wanna follow me, your laws are minimal

'Cause you won't even think about lookin' at the real criminal

This has got to cease

'Cause we be getting hyped to the sound of da police

Woop, woop, that's the sound of da police

Woop, woop, that's the sound of da beast

Woop, woop, that's the sound of da police

Woop, woop, that's the sound of da beast

Now, here's a likkle truth open up your eye

While you're checking out the boom box, check the exercise

Take the word "Overseer," like a sample

Repeat it very quickly in a crew for example

Overseer, overseer, overseer, overseer

Officer, Officer, Officer, Officer, yeah, officer from overseer

You need a little clarity? Check the similarity

The overseer rode around the plantation

The officer is off patroling all the nation

The overseer couldn't stop you what you're doing

The officer will pull you over just when he's pursuing

The overseer had the right to get ill

And if you fought back, the overseer had the right to kill

The officer has the right to arrest

And if you fight back they put a hole in your chest

Woop, they both ride horses

After 400 years, I've got no choices

The police them have a little gun

So when I'm on the streets, I walk around with a bigger one

Woop, woop, I hear it all day

Just so they can run the light and be upon their way

Yes, indeed

Yes, indeed

Yes, indeed

Yes, indeed

Woop, woop, that's the sound of da police

Woop, woop, that's the sound of da beast

Woop, woop, that's the sound of da police

Woop, woop, that's the sound of da beast

Check out the message in a rough stylee

The real criminals are the COP

You check for undercover and the one PD

But just a mere Black man, them want check me

Them check out me car for it shine like the sun

But them jealous or them vexed 'cause them can't afford one

Black people still slaves up 'til today

But the Black police officer nah see it that way

Him want a salary, him want it

So he put on a badge and kill people for it

My grandfather had to deal with the cops

My great-grandfather dealt with the cops

My great-grandfather had to deal with the cops

And then my great, great, great, great, when it's gonna stop?

Woop, woop, that's the sound of da police

Woop, woop, that's the sound of da beast

Woop, woop, that's the sound of da police
