Lyrics
All these people out here trippin' off of police brutality
Like this shit is somethin' new, gimme a fuckin' break
I been talkin' about this shit for over twenty years
And now you can kill a motherfucker
Just because of how he's dressed?
Are you fuckin' serious?
Got on my black hoodie, its hood up on my head
I didn't have a gun, so why am I dead?
You didn't have to shoot me, and that's a known fact
And now I'm layin' face down with bullets in my back
Got on my black hoodie, its hood up on my head
I didn't have a gun, so why am I dead?
You didn't have to shoot me, and that's a known fact
And now I'm layin' face down with bullets in my back
This is how it happened
Out late night, just chillin' with my clique
No one had a gun, everyone's legit
One of my boys was drunk, I'm talkin' toeback
He could barely talk off that cognac
Then the cops roll up, I don't know why he ran
Maybe traffic warrants, I still don't understand
That motherfucker's crazy, the homies laugh
He mighta got a block, and then we heard shots
The fuckin' cops shot him
Yo, our ****'s dead
They hit him twice in the back, once in the head and leg
We all went crazy on that pig shit
They ain't need us, they meant business
They didn't have to shoot him
He didn't have a gun
What they're gonna say is
"Why the fuck he run"
We can't be seein' this
I'm like, "What the fuck!?"
My man's layin' dead, they're still cuffin' him up
You motherfuckers
Call the fuckin' paramedics, man
My man's not breathin', man
What the fuck's the matter with you, man?
Ah, shit
Got on my black hoodie, its hood up on my head
I didn't have a gun, so why am I dead?
You didn't have to shoot me, and that's a known fact
And now I'm layin' face down with bullets in my back
Got on my black hoodie, its hood up on my head
I didn't have a gun, so why am I dead?
You didn't have to shoot me, and that's a known fact
And now I'm layin' face down with bullets in my back
Whoop whoop
That's the sound of the police
...that's the sound on the streets
Whoop whoop
That's the sound of the police
...that's the sound on the streets
Whoop whoop
That's the sound of the police
...that's the sound on the streets
Now is our day in court, we gotta have hope
Maybe some justice, someone got it on video
They say he do somethin', he used to gang bang
They made my homie look like fuckin' shit on everything
Had on a black hoodie, that's all it took
D.A. portrayed you as a dirty fuckin' street crook
They let the cops off, nobody fuckin' marched
Nobody had a clue, this never made the news
Whoop whoop
That's the sound of the police
...that's the sound on the streets
Whoop whoop
That's the sound of the police
...that's the sound on the streets
Whoop whoop
That's the sound of the police
...that's the sound on the streets
Whoop whoop
That's the sound of the police
...that's the sound on the streets
Got on my black hoodie
Got on my black hoodie
Got on my black hoodie
