[04:23.0]That＇s the sound of da police!
[04:23.0]Woop-woop!
[04:23.0]That＇s the sound of the beast!
[04:23.0]Verse One:
[04:23.0]Stand clear! Don man a-talk
[04:23.0]You can＇t stand where I stand, you can＇t walk where I walk
[04:23.0]Watch out! We run New York
[04:23.0]Police man come, we bust him out the park
[04:23.0]I know this for a fact, you don＇t like how I act
[04:23.0]You claim I＇m sellin＇ crack
[04:23.0]But you be doin＇ that
[04:23.0]I＇d rather say ＂see ya＂
[04:23.0]Cause I would never be ya
[04:23.0]Be a officer? You WICKED overseer!
[04:23.0]Ya hotshot, wanna get props and be a saviour
[04:23.0]First show a little respect, change your behavior
[04:23.0]Change your attitude, change your plan
[04:23.0]There could never really be justice on stolen land
[04:23.0]Are you really for peace and equality?
[04:23.0]Or when my car is hooked up, you know you wanna follow me
[04:23.0]Your laws are minimal
[04:23.0]Cause you won＇t even think about lookin＇ at the real criminal
[04:23.0]This has got to cease
[04:23.0]Cause we be getting HYPED to the sound of da police!
[04:23.0]Chorus
[04:23.0]Verse Two:
[04:23.0]Now here＇s a likkle truth
[04:23.0]Open up your eye
[04:23.0]While you＇re checking out the boom-bap, check the exercise
[04:23.0]Take the word ＂overseer,＂ like a sample
[04:23.0]Repeat it very quickly in a crew for example
[04:23.0]Overseer
[04:23.0]Overseer
[04:23.0]Overseer
[04:23.0]Overseer
[04:23.0]Officer, Officer, Officer, Officer!
[04:23.0]Yeah, officer from overseer
[04:23.0]You need a little clarity?
[04:23.0]Check the similarity!
[04:23.0]The overseer rode around the plantation
[04:23.0]The officer is off patroling all the nation
[04:23.0]The overseer could stop you what you＇re doing
[04:23.0]The officer will pull you over just when he＇s pursuing
[04:23.0]The overseer had the right to get ill
[04:23.0]And if you fought back, the overseer had the right to kill
[04:23.0]The officer has the right to arrest
[04:23.0]And if you fight back they put a hole in your chest!
[04:23.0](Woop!) They both ride horses
[04:23.0]After 400 years, I＇ve _got_ no choices!
[04:23.0]The police them have a little gun
[04:23.0]So when I＇m on the streets, I walk around with a bigger one
[04:23.0](Woop-woop!) I hear it all day
[04:23.0]Just so they can run the light and be upon their way
[04:23.0]Chorus
[04:23.0]Verse Three:
[04:23.0]Check out the message in a rough stylee
[04:23.0]The real criminals are the C-O-P
[04:23.0]You check for undercover and the one PD
[04:23.0]But just a mere Black man, them want check me
[04:23.0]Them check out me car for it shine like the sun
[04:23.0]But them jealous or them vexed cause them can＇t afford one
[04:23.0]Black people still slaves up til today
[04:23.0]But the Black police officer nah see it that way
[04:23.0]Him want a salary
[04:23.0]Him want it
[04:23.0]So he put on a badge and kill people for it
[04:23.0]My grandfather had to deal with the cops
[04:23.0]My great-grandfather dealt with the cops
[04:23.0]My GREAT grandfather had to deal with the cops
[04:23.0]And then my great, great, great, great... when it＇s gonna stop?!
