Woop! Woop!

Woop-woop! That's the sound of da police!
Woop-woop! That's the sound of the beast!

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!

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

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?!
