INTERLUDE
1. VERSE:
Let me tell you of a situation I hate
Friday night for God's sake
Young brother like I got payed
I'm just tryna have a good night
Celebrate the good-life
But shit, that ain't what it looks like
Cause here is Officer waiting on the corner
Pulling over everyone that looks just like a "foreigner"
Hate how they discriminate, sour just like lemonade
They say its just their job but we all know that they simulate!
Trying to demonstrate power and intimidate
Keeping the block hot like a dinner plate!
So they stop me, I pull over to the right side
Handcuffs good to see for everyone that drives by...
They got another one - is what they think but I'm an other one - one that you cop cowards get nothing from!
Then he blinds me with his flashlight
Tells me I better act right
And lets me go, but only that night
CHORUS
2. VERSE:
The other day I took the train back home from school
I met a brother at the station, made his way home too
Chilling hard in out department
Sharing smartness
The vibe was love and another brother at the far end
So we involved him, paying attention
Never bothering the Officers that where entering
And straight came to me and my man Abu
Rudely asking questions about where we tried to
Go and please show our I.Ds
Without the please
Gave him the card that i had taken out my wallet he
Snatched it out my hand
Checked whats in my pants
And left without a single word of apology!
Straight to the brother who was seated a couple meters
From us and did the same procedure in front the people
They where shocked - but we were not
These are the problems we have got, it needs to stop!
