 And they will read you your rights

 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
 But when them come to arrest a
 black man, they need 30 cops or more. well now

 *dogs barking*
 "Just let me draw a bead on his black ass and he's dead"
 *dogs barking*
 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
