30 Cops or More

[Chorus] When they arrest a Black man, they need 30 cops or more.. well now When they arrest a Black man, they need 30 cops or more.. well now hey [Verse 1] If you a black herb smuggler They will, watch you by the hour It only means that if you have more money Then you have more power They will come in the night And they will read you your rights There is no need to fight If you're black there is no need to fight [Chorus] When they arrest a Black man, they need 30 cops or more.. well now When they arrest a Black man, they need 30 cops or more.. well now hey [Verse 2] Years ago a black man couldn't be a cop They could only be great dancers When the whole police department was white Justice, was the Black Panthers We've been robbed of our religion Our government and social position And you won't see no quick solution Until you see the black revolution [Chorus] When they arrest a Black man, they need 30 cops or more.. well now When they arrest a Black man, they need 30 cops or more.. well now hey [Interlude] "He's gonna get across the border before we can catch him" *dogs barking* "Just let me draw a bead on his black ass and he's dead" *dogs barking* [Verse 3] They arrest us by the hour Cause the black man in the ghetto has power If he would wake up and unite The police department would lose the fight [Chorus] When they arrest a Black man, they need 30 cops or more.. well now When they arrest a Black man, they need 30 cops or more.. well now hey [Verse 4] If you a black herb smuggler They will, watch you by the hour It only means that if you have more money Then you have more power They will come in the night And they will read you your rights There is no need to fight If you're black there is no need to fight [Chorus] When they arrest a Black man, they need 30 cops or more.. well now When they arrest a Black man, they need 30 cops or more.. well now hey [Outro] "He's gonna get across the border before we can catch him" *dogs barking* "Just let me draw a bead on his black ass and he's dead" *dogs barking* "He's gonna make it" "Let the dogs go!"
