Testo 30 Cops or More - Boogie Down Productions
Testo della canzone 30 Cops or More (Boogie Down Productions), tratta dall'album Edutainment
Listen, you only got one good ear left
Boy. You wanna save it? You wanna talk?
All brother died of an overdose. An overdose of black misery
When they arrest a Black man
They need thirty cops or more, well now
When they arrest a Black man
They need thirty cops or more, well now, hey
If you a black herb smuggler
They will watch you by the hour
It only means that if you have more money
Then you have more power
They will come in the night
And they will read you your rights
There is no need to fight
If you're Black, there is no need to fight
But when them come to arrest a Black man
They need thirty cops or more, well now
When they arrest a Black man
They need thirty cops or more, well now, hey
Years ago, a Black man couldn't be a cop
They could only be break-dancers
When the whole police department was white
Justice was the Black Panthers
We've been robbed of our religion
Our government and social position
And you won't see no quick solution
Until you see the Black revolution
But when them come to arrest a Black man
They need thirty cops or more, well now
When they arrest a Black man
They need thirty cops or more, well now, hey
He's gonna get across the border before we can catch him
Just let me draw a bead on his black ass and he's dead
They arrest us by the hour
'Cause the Black man in the ghetto has power
If he would wake up and unite
The police department would lose the fight
But when them come to arrest a Black man
They need thirty cops or more, well now
When they arrest a Black man
They need thirty cops or more, well now, hey
If you a black herb smuggler
They will watch you by the hour
It only means that if you have more money
Then you have more power
They will come in the night
And they will read you your rights
There is no need to fight
If you're Black, there is no need to fight
But when them come to arrest a Black man
They need thirty cops or more, well now
When they arrest a Black man
They need thirty cops or more, well now, hey
He's gonna get across the border before we can catch him
Just let me draw a bead on his black ass and he's dead
He's gonna make it
Let the dogs go
No, I won't do it
They got four legs, you've only got two
Don't tear him apart, I won't do it
Let the dogs go
I won't do it
Turn loose of those dogs
