Not Aretha's Respect (Cops)

So was a cop stop roadblock for inspection stickers

Maybe it was hot

Maybe the cop was assigned to the detail for punishment

Maybe he had witnessed some domestic violence **** last night

That once again made him lose faith in humanity

I don't know and I don’t care cause he's an asshole

And he's pissing and he’s barking orders in front of my 10-year-old

Who's now afraid and think of the cops as something to be feared

Hey, ********

I'm trying to teach my kid there's some authority that needs to be respected

But we have no respect for you

Now I'm trying to teach him to not get shot

We're at the 7/11, my kid's getting in the car with his Big Gulp and his hot dog

And he leaves the door open while he gets things adjusted

Cop pulls up tryin' to get into the space next to us

And he blasts his siren

My kid jumps, smashes his foot in the door

As the cop struts by not smilin’ not sayin’ he's sorry

Just tryin’ to look all macho and garner the respect he never got in high school

Hey, ********

I'm trying to teach my kid there's some authority that needs to be respected

But we have no respect for you

Now I'm trying to teach him to not get shot

Skateboard park in Chappaqua

Rumor has it that the cops were supposed to get a raise

But a skateboard park got built instead

Cop buzzin’ around like flies on ****

Harassin' kids so they finally shut it down, it just wasn't worth it

I was there when it was closed, readin' the bulletin board with my 10-year-old

Cop threw us out

I said "You don't have anything better to do?"

He said "What did you say?"

I said "Listen you ******' idiot

Know at the end of your life you've done nothing righteous

You're a worthless piece of ****"

Actually I didn't say that cause I didn't wanna get shot

But what I shoulda said was "Hey ********

I'm trying to teach my kid there's some authority that needs t o be respected

But we have no respect for you

Now I'm trying to teach him to not get shot"

Three cops enter our building from the rear

Lookin' all serious as my son and I enter

My sons says "Why are they here? This makes me nervous"

So I say "Excuse me, why are you in my building? This makes my son nervous"

Thinking, but not saying, cause I don't wanna get shot

"Would it kill you to reassure the kid while you're hangin' around?"

And one of the cops says "We're the good guys"

Um...uh...I don't know what alternative planet you're living on

But you're definitely not the good guys

Hey, ********

I'm trying to teach my kid there's some authority that needs to be respected

But we have no respect for you

Now I'm trying to teach him to not get shot

And I'm white
