(sound of 41 gunshots)

Pump pump pump

All Malcolm X massive

(revolution man hold tight soldier )

All rudeboy, hold tight

(M-1)

Cop SHOT, cop shot, cop shot, cop shot

Keep shooting my people,

we will shoot back

Me bring the M-1

you bust the Glock

ra-ta-bum-bum

on you like that

1-8-7 pon undercover COP

Another dead pig

knocked straight off my BLOCK

Cop shot, cop shot,

cop shot

Black cop,

white cop,

all cop

(stic.man)

Every police is a punk ass bitch

this is for my niggas in the streets

getting frisked

Gun to your head

handcuffs on your wrists

everywhere we at

we gotta start to resist

Black po' people

get no JUSTICE

the courts, the judge,

and the jury is fixed

every ghetto you go,

sick of this shit

throw up your fist

if you sick of this shit

(M-1)

The only good cop is a dead cop

police brutality

must come to a STOP

Dem kill Latinos

dem kill more black

Luima in Brooklyn,

Diallo in the BRONX

We spark rebellion,

watch them get ROCKED

self-defense is not a violent act

Police MURDER

budget get cut back

Guilliani send his troops to ATTACK

they soon retreat

watch them run back

cop shot, cop shot, cop SHOT

cop shot, cop shot, cop SHOT

buck, buck, buck, buck, BUCK

(stic.man)

These ghetto eyes of mine

ain't blind no more

I'm getting ready

for guerilla war

Cuz it's coming

Y2K computer glitch

Start running,

cuz you the snitch

You can catch two in yo s-t

I'm not a sellout

Let every nigga in a cell out

I don't hate playas

I hate the mayors

and the police commissioners

governors and senators

turning my people

into junkies and prisoners

I rock

for the folks that's locked

to break that lock

It feel good when

I hear Jake got shot

we can take this block

if you really want it

Call the People's Army

if you really on it

I seen enough shit

to turn your heart cold

Life is like walking

barefoot on hot coals

(M-1)

(unnngghhh)

Here's a government policy:

no justice,

no democracy

(uunnnggghhh)

this a modern day slavery

fire pon all country (?)

cop SHOT, cop shot, cop shot, cop shot

black cop, white cop ALL COP

whoop! whoop!

that's the sound of the Beast

??? dying in the street

lick a shot at ??

no justice, no peace!

the real .to all my niggas in the field

all rudebwoy, lick a shot! hold tight!

something real for your radio ?

we keep it raw for your video (ya can't test it)

DP's in your stereo

Motherf-kers don't hear me though

(woman's voice "Hooo" repeatedly)

buck, buck, buck buck!
