Police Myself

[Verse 1: Open Mike Eagle] 'Cause brothers looking like a criminal is probable cause So if you black, you need to know all the applicable laws I got a cop in my head and he stay on the beat On duty 24 hours every day of the week And when he blow his little whistle, I restrict myself And when I'm walkin' in New York, I stop and frisk myself And when it's time to make arrests, I don't resist myself 'Cause if I saw me in a lineup, I might pick myself I ride clean but I still feel like I'm filthy as sin 'Cause I was raised thinkin' brown is the guiltiest skin I got a cop in my head, so all the laws are inside me Put on my turn signal, ain't nobody behind me I buy weed with my cop and that's his personal hell 'Cause weed legal but I still feel like I'm going to jail I live alone, making noise so my presence is known Hoping he don't think it's a gun when I answer my phone Officer Me [Chorus: Open Mike Eagle] Scared of the police, so I police myself (Officer Me) Scared of the police, so I police myself (Officer Me) I'm in custody but when will I release myself? (Officer Me) He say it once and I don't make him repeat himself (Officer Me) [Verse 2: MF DOOM] Black has no standing at law Whack, billy club bat to the jaw They got the dogs and the gats at your door If you're smart, get your ass on the floor Yeah, villain within reason No consumption, it's pig grilling season Trees in black, white, Indonesian You lackin' with no heat and it's freezing Now send the cop in your head on a beer run To see him die when he jump out your eardrum It's even better than using a machine gun After all, been dukin' him so long, it's been a mean run A fleet of cars and three cribs redone Don't touch the lawn and then pay the kid with the green thumb They nervous like first time in a threesome And shoot too early like precum Yeah, pause, seem dumb Sell 'em to hell, no refund Profiled for a Philly and a down coat Run through your mind, shooting unarmed brown folk Bullcrap, you couldn't get out with cow soap Like a rapper selling his soul and don't sound dope All for naught, in the mall, he got caught Crowd gathered like, "Yes, yes, y'all," an onslaught [Chorus: Open Mike Eagle] Scared of the police, so I police myself (Officer Me) Scared of the police, so I police myself (Officer Me) I'm in custody but when will I release myself? (Officer Me) He say it once and I don't make him repeat himself (Officer Me)
