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?!

 Chorus
