Key Lyrics
They declared the war on drugs like a war on terror/But what it really did was let the police terrorize whoever
But mostly black boys, but they would call us “niggas”
And lay us on our belly, while they fingers on they triggers
They boots was on our head, they dogs was on our crotches
And they would beat us up if we had diamonds on our watches
And they would take our drugs and money, as they pick our pockets
I guess that that’s the privilege of policing for some profit [2]
