Officer

Lyrics

INTERLUDE 1. VERSE: Let me tell you of a situation I hate Friday night for God's sake Young brother like I got payed I'm just tryna have a good night Celebrate the good-life But shit, that ain't what it looks like Cause here is Officer waiting on the corner Pulling over everyone that looks just like a "foreigner" Hate how they discriminate, sour just like lemonade They say its just their job but we all know that they simulate! Trying to demonstrate power and intimidate Keeping the block hot like a dinner plate! So they stop me, I pull over to the right side Handcuffs good to see for everyone that drives by... They got another one - is what they think but I'm an other one - one that you cop cowards get nothing from! Then he blinds me with his flashlight Tells me I better act right And lets me go, but only that night CHORUS 2. VERSE: The other day I took the train back home from school I met a brother at the station, made his way home too Chilling hard in out department Sharing smartness The vibe was love and another brother at the far end So we involved him, paying attention Never bothering the Officers that where entering And straight came to me and my man Abu Rudely asking questions about where we tried to Go and please show our I.Ds Without the please Gave him the card that i had taken out my wallet he Snatched it out my hand Checked whats in my pants And left without a single word of apology! Straight to the brother who was seated a couple meters From us and did the same procedure in front the people They where shocked - but we were not These are the problems we have got, it needs to stop! CHORUS
