Boogie Down Productions - 30 Cops or More lyrics

rate me

[KRS-One]

When they arrest a

black man, they need 30 cops or more.. well now

When they arrest a

black man, they need 30 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 30 cops or more.. well now

When they arrest a

black man, they need 30 cops or more.. well now hey

Years ago a black man couldn't be a cop

They could only be great 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 30 cops or more.. well now

When they arrest a

black man, they need 30 cops or more.. well now hey

"He's gonna get across the border before we can catch him"

*dogs barking*

"Just let me draw a bead on his black ass and he's dead"

*dogs barking*

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 30 cops or more.. well now

When they arrest a

black man, they need 30 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 30 cops or more.. well now

When they arrest a

black man, they need 30 cops or more.. well now hey

"He's gonna get across the border before we can catch him"

*dogs barking*

"Just let me draw a bead on his black ass and he's dead"

*dogs barking*

"He's gonna make it"

"Let the dogs go!"

"No I won't do it!"

"He's got full, they've only got two"

"They'll tear him apart, I won't do it"

"Let the dogs go!"

"Turn loose those dogs!"
