Oz movie - What is the Law lyrics

rate me

Song by Pharoahe Monch<br /><br>

[Pharoahe Monch]<br>

Officer Frank Pagliarule, heh<br>

Shit I hate spics and moolies<br>

On the trains they be actin insane and unruly<br>

It's the "Planet of the Apes"<br>

These gorillas be blastin they tapes<br>

out of they cars like a cinematic movie<br>

Respondin, to a domestic dispute, the culprit<br>

a younger monkey who went ape-shit and decided to shoot<br>

his older brother in the brain<br>

His baby's mother couldn't refrain<br>

keepin sex out the family name<br>

And that keeps me smilin like racial profilin<br>

Forever nigga pilin inside Riker's Island<br>

New York's most violent, black wall of silence<br>

react with black talons when wolfpacks are wylin<br>

For a white cat, gotta admit I can rap-ta-tat-tat<br>

my nightstick, on the top of your cap<br>

My blackjack you'll be swallowin for protestin and hollerin<br>

The policy is quality of life and zero tolerance<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

What is the law? Know you heard this before<br>

We find contraband in your car, we breakin your jaw<br>

What is the law? Nigga, mathematics for sure<br>

If they walkin in packs of four, they tryin to score<br>

For any - drug bust or cocaine that's raw<br>

better believe we takin our twenty percent at the door<br>

What is the law? Wolfpacks, movin on all fours<br>

I'm flawless with weaponry, mentally ready for war<br>

<br>

(What is the law?.. What is the..)<br>

<br>

[Pharoahe Monch]<br>

Any formalities in the case of police brutality<br>

I've escaped on finer details and minor technicalities<br>

Here's a verbal medley of deadly force used<br>

Readily abused in that old Ku Kluk pedigree<br>

You better be heavily armed, forever we ready your song<br>

Steadily ready to move and bomb<br>

I'm like - Hercules, when I work my knees<br>

It's a - search and seize that'll hurt indeed<br>

God bless when the bullets hit the chest you'll backflip<br>

SWAT - Special Weapons And Tactics; theatrics hot<br>

on your block we lock down all shenanigans<br>

When we roll you stand stiff like mannequins<br>

Take the position for broomstick penetration (uh)<br>

Legal under the Mayor's new administration<br>

YOU - better forever have your identification<br>

I broke the mold for holds that cause asphyxiation<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>
