Killer Mike

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]
