Woop woop

That's the sound of da police

Woop woop

That's the sound of da 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 'cos I would never be ya

Be a officer

You wicked overseer

Ya 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 'cos you won't even think about lookin' at the real criminal

This has got to cease 'cos 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 patrolin' 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

The officer has the right to arrest and if you fight back they put a hole in your chest

They both ride horses

After four hundred 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

I hear it all day just so they can run the light and be upon their way

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 criminals are the C-O-P

You check for undercover and the one D-T

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 'cos them can't afford one

Black people still slaves up 'till 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
