you claim i’m sellin’ crack but you be doin’ that
i’d rather say see ya cause i would never be ya
be an officer you wicked overseer
you 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
cause you won’t even think about lookin’ at the real criminal
this has got to cease

now here’s a likkle truth open up your eye
while you’re checkin’ out the boombap 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 patrollin’ 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 likkle gun
so when i’m on the streets i walk around with a bigger one
woopwoop i hear it all day
just so they can run the light and be upon their way

the real criminal are the cop
you check for undercover and the one pd
but just a mere black man them wan’ check me

but them jealous or them vexed cause them can’t afford one
black people still slaves up ’til today
but the black police officer nyah see it that way

so he put on a badge and kill people for it
