Sound of Da Police

Lyrics

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'll talk
 You can't stand where I stand, you can't walk where I walk
 Watch out, we run New York
 Policeman 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 an officer? You wicked overseer!
 You hotshot, wanna get props and be a savior
 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 checkin' 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, patrollin' 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 likkle 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 criminal are the C-O-P
 You check for undercover and the one P.D
 But just a mere Black man, them wan' 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 nyah 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
 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
 Woop-woop! That's the sound of da police
 Woop-woop! That's the sound of da beast
 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
