lyrics

[Intro]
How 2Pac say that shit?
Mr. Fuck-a-Cop is back

[Verse 1]
I’m back at it
Yea, the rap addict
This time it seems like I picked up a smack habit
Watchin’ punk police lickin’ off these shots
Got me thinkin’ ‘bout these visions where I’m killin’ all these cops (AH!)
Black Lives Matter—this ain’t up for debate
But why you still frontin’ like this ain’t about race
Kneeled on Floyd’s neck, 46 past 8
You could see it on his face homie, nothin’ but hate
Man, wait (What?)
I guess the feelin’ is reciprocated
I ain’t playin’, got six feet in the ground that’s waitin’
I’ll explain in case you don’t know what I’m talkin’ bout
Crack a smile when a cop die, time to chalk ‘em out
Eric Garner got choked out for nothin’ but some loosies
Castile was shot in cold blood, the stop ain’t go smoothly
Trigger happy piggies say they fearin’ for their lives
Yet it’s Black men and women who always have to die
Man, why?
Nobody seems to have the answers
Police a disease inside our cities like a cancer
Abolish the fuckers or let them feel some repercussions
The racists are running rampant, KKK’s a second cousin
This ain’t nothin’ to those ain’t ever been affected
They judge from their houses, can’t seem to understand the message
We need an overhaul, the system is dysfunctional
We warnin’ y’all, it’s time to see these police ain’t

[Interlude]
Fuck nah

[Verse 2]
Illmac said his sket clappin’ for Sean Bell
Six years later, it’s my turn to give these hogs hell
Assassinate my bredrin and leave ‘em on the pavement
Hard to calculate the deaths when nobody will say shit
Now we got these cameras and you’d think it’d be the answer
But the death toll keeps rising, they response is only laughter
We take to the streets while they send in these bad actors
Startin’ fires, breakin’ shit to shift the blame right after
Now White America seems to have a great excuse
To delegitimize the pain of its own Black youth
Hear ‘em change the narrative to “Floyd wasn’t a saint”
‘Cept that was never the picture that we was tryna paint
What about Tamir? Did he deserve to be shot down?
Botham and Breonna were both shot up in their homes, now
How you gon’ work out which death sentence is justified?
Elijah McClain was just dancing in the street, right?
You gotta draw the line somewhere man and this is mine
How selfish of you to only care bout white lives
How privileged of you to deny this broken system
Where petty crimes result in people dead or locked in prison
This the tipping point, the anger’s uncontrollable
This the tipping point, these parent’s inconsolable
This is the tipping point, retribution’s unavoidable
This the tipping point, it’s time to see these police ain’t
