KRS-One - Sound Of Da Police

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 gettin' 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 doin'?"

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

The overseer had the right to get ill

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