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!
No justice, no peace!

Stand clear fuckers on my block
You can't stand where I stand you can't walk where I walk
Watch out! You've been tagged and marked
Policeman come, we rush him out the park
Say we equal, but we see the opposite
Lions in the stampede, DV crossing it
Lose one badge, flags flying at half-mast
Kill a young brother, Fox News will just laugh
Harass him, her, you and I
Moving our homes for ways to gentrify
If Jesus' life, God strike me
But this is what they do for looking like me
Jay-Z couldn't even change
Without the media not taking the blame
For cocaine with the CIA
Still cracking the whips on backs of blacks today
And what I say might anger the beast
But it's time to stand up 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!
No justice, no peace!

Now here's a little truth, open up your eyes
While you're checking out the boom bop, check the exercise
Check the world, overseer, for example
And read it back to me in a rude boy sound, for
Overseer, overseer, overseer, overseer
Officer officer officer officer
Do you hate me 'cause my skin is darker, sir?
And they say how Jesus was a carpenter
But they never say how he was a rebel
Fighting the oppression of the people in the ghetto
Two sides to the story and there's the truth
You say hands up but yet they still shoot
So why all the marches scream for?
Martin Luther King, what'd he ever dream for?
Lena Horne, tell me what'd she ever sing for?
Malcolm X, what'd he say "by any means" for?
So hashtag that, there's no retreat
But it's still no justice 'till we take back the streets
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!
No justice, no peace!

Check out my measures and see my style
We say her name was Charleena Lyles
They took her life in front of her child
Mother of five yet no charges filed
Funeral homes and our families grieve
A policeman go home again on paid leave
A funeral home and our families grieve
A policeman go home again on paid leave
My grandfather had to deal with the cops
My grandmother had to deal with the cops
My great-grandfather had to deal with the cops
Now the great-great-great-great when is it 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!
No justice, no peace!
