Lyrics for Sound of Da Police by KRS One:
| | | Artist: | KRS One |
| | Album: | Return of the Boom Bap | | Track: | Sound of Da Police | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 119 | | | | Lyrics: | Chorus:
Woop woop!
That's the sound of da police!
Woop woop!
That's the sound of the beast!
Verse One:
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!
Chorus
Verse Two:
Now here's a likkle
truth
Open up your eye
While you're checking out the boom-bap, 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 could 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
Chorus
Verse Three:
Check out the message in a rough stylee
The real criminals are
the C-O-P
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?!
