Stop And Frisk

Lyrics

[Intro] People, have you met the new Jim Crow? The bottle is new, but the wine is old Some things in life just never change Like the babylon system, how they run their game [Verse 1] They used to swing like bunnies from the trees Now they lock 'em in the cell an' they throw away the keys Ghetto youth don't really stand a chance Every single day is like a dangerous match Look out, son, it's time to run 'Cause the cops are rollin' up now An' they reachin' for their gun (Hear me singing!) [Chorus] Stop an' frisk, we are at risk Round up like (You got to) Watch your back Police dem a come and launch they attack People don't you know (Dat the new Jim Crow has got to go) Why-oh? (We've got to overthrow) Wo-ho (The new Jim Crow) Why-oh? [Verse 2] Dat may introduce the new Jim Crow Different channel, different time slot But the same is show Nowadays it's crime if it's all look right Ripping statues from the streets, any day or night An' the system that ejects poor to the bridge Dem change [?] as we face the switch They say, "Just work out an' you can live the dream" But they feed us in the streets, bring us down to our knees (So, this is what we're singing) [Chorus] Stop an' frisk, we are at risk Round up like (You got to) Watch your back Police dem a come and launch they attack People don't you know (Dat the new Jim Crow has got to go) Why-oh? (We've got to overthrow) Wo-ho (The new Jim Crow) Why-oh? [Instrumental] [Chorus] Stop an' frisk, we are at risk Round up like (You got to) Watch your back Police dem a come and launch they attack People don't you know (Dat the new Jim Crow has got to go) Why-oh? (We've got to overthrow) Wo-ho (The new Jim Crow) Why-oh?
