Blue Scholars - Oscar Grant lyrics

rate me

Shoot the cops, shoot the cops

Shoot the cops, take the cameras out to pocket people

Shoot the cops, shoot the cops

Shoot the cops, take the cameras out to pocket.

If they wanna shoot at us, got the right to shoot em back

They shoot us from the back but they say its from the front

You warned even if you aren't armed

they will find an excuse to do you harm

If they think you’re out of line

In every city's urban jurisdiction you will find,

some people making livings outta creepin from behind

and even if they behave bad most the time they know

an officer to blame they need to let it go

because a family at home, a mortgage to support

in times when its hella hard as fuck to find a job

If you wanna keep yours you’d better not inform

don’t wanna be .. wrong side of the law

but guess what the people got a weapon on their own

a lens and a shutter built into a mobile phone

Evidence admissible in court even more documented cases of what been going on.

Chorus:

Shoot the cops, shoot the cops

Shoot the cops, take the cameras out to pocket people

Shoot the cops, shoot the cops

Shoot the cops, take the cameras out to pocket.

I hear them sayin that this shit don't never happen in Seattle

And if it does is just a couple bad apples

But if you keep it count you will see this shit is not the apple is the tree

Its rotten underneath. Oh say, can you see no way that is true

They don’t wanna see another South Central '92 or Seattle 99

Even if it happens what they’re sayin on the news

bad people mad justifyin the abuse

and youth especially with darkest features be in target into proof

So people can have the truth now keep that feelin in mind when you ask a pig to smile at you

I ain't talkin 1 or 2 3 or 4 5. what you’re so afraid of if you ain't committin crime

We are merely doin what a citizen should do

You'd better act right if I were you the world is watching you.

[Chorus:]
