Lyrics

[Chorus]
Why do we have a police protection service?
When their duty's to snatch me and arrest my person?
Who? The usual suspect, Verbal Keyser Söze
What? Doing what I must to get by the whole day
Why do we have a police protection service?
When their duty's to snatch me and arrest my person?
Who? The usual suspect, Verbal Keyser Söze
What? Doing what shit I must to get by the whole day
[Verse 1]
Where? From Cape Town to J-Sect to Eastern Cape
I heat radioactive airwaves, transmits through deep space
We freebase beat breaks at least three days a week basis
Other four, other chores, tug-o-wars, my mother's poor
Cutting corners now a fact of life 'cause the chips are stacked so high against us
It's like the greener grassy side is just a crime beyond the barbed wire fences with mile-high defenses
And armed response jobby-job carbon copy cops in rental suits
Burning and lootin' more than Bob Marley uses herbs when doing music events, enter Red Jackets frisking you
Mental antagonists with gun and badge taking a piss on you
Misogynist fags in blue harassed your ass when the whistle blew
Taint my reputation in public places for a thrill or two
It's straight to the station, fingerprints in the ink plus interviews
Plus cynical tools and a little shrewd Jewish lawyer
The rich been using to elude criminal prosecution
[Chorus]
Why do we have a police protection service?
When their duty's to snatch me and arrest my person?
Who? The usual suspect, Verbal Keyser Söze
What? Doing what I must to get by the whole day
Why do we have a police protection service?
When their duty's to snatch me and arrest my person?
Who? The usual suspect, Verbal Keyser Söze
What? Doing what shit I must to get by the whole day
[Verse 2]
How? By any possible means to jump obstacles means
I gotta do what I gotta for cream, stick you like Scorpion teams
They don't care if he's a hero like Steven Biko
Or high strung on a killing spree like Asande Baninzi
Cops all over the city ready to lock you if you're dark-skinned
Easy for the Boer to moer you if you look poor and got comments
I'm a hardcore hot-head, conform not to any pork chop
I mind control swine patrol
In Jedi mode and bribe your whole ride with cold drinks then flows that sink
Like Jose Cuervo raw shots
On the rocks or neat, every time I walk the streets
Pigs wanna bleep, stop me, I stomp my feet constantly
ADT, securcorp, SAPS, Armageddon Security
Come fi test, duel with me, fuck you up with impunity
The purpose of the sirens is to pump fear in nervous systems
Circus clowns of society who police but deserve prison
[Chorus]
So why do we have a police protection service?
When their duty's to snatch me and arrest my person?
Who? The usual suspect, Verbal Keyser Söze
What? Doing what I must to get by the whole day
Why do we have a police protection service?
When their duty's to snatch me and arrest my person?
Who? The usual suspect, Verbal Keyser Söze
What? Doing what shit I must to get by the whole day
[Outro]
Why do we have a police protection service?
When their duty's to snatch me and arrest my person?
Who? The usual suspect, Verbal Keyser Söze
What? Doing what I must to get by the whole day
