Looptroop

[Chorus:] Yo, when the long arm of the law
Is grabbing you, backstabbing you
Policecars passing you, on dark avenues
Mag lights flashing you, pigs harassing you
Breaking you down, smashing you (smashing you)
[Promoe]
On the concrete, you find out you cant compete
With the number one thief on the street
I tried to tell you that back, on the biggest hustle track
Its OK to sell crack, if the cops got your back
And they certainly will, if theyre on your payoff
They know that if they fuck around, theyre getting laid off
and since to cops, just like the average citizen, a clean conscience
compared to a steady income, thats nonsense
Thats why I stay getting busted for bullshit charges
More than one time, one time, came around
This fuck went down
N?r ja ? Tommy var i Burl?v, du kommer ih?g, eller hur b?g?
-Jor? schlook, vi hade just fotat pieces
Now were getting fucked by the long dick of the law
Inflict social diseases cause they use no protection
Judge slam the hammer, D.A. got an erection
Wouldnt even give me a public defender
For such a small case, not paying on the trains
Still they wanna four thousand crownors, from my bank account
I thought that was a too big amount
But the judge didnt had no sympathy on me
All on his mind, a conviction or are fine, like Junior Reeves
But I wasnt fighting -No war (no waaar)
Still they wanna send a mailman with a ticket to mi door -ah to mi doooor
I was only trying to make a wholecar -A wholecar
The Bigfoot beast wanna arrest dej, and put you behind bars -In just a blur,
in just a blur
Free mumia abu jamal
Chorus: Yo, when the long arm of the law
Is grabbing you, backstabbing you
Policecars passing you, on dark avenues
Mag lights flashing you, pigs harassing you
Breaking you down, smashing you
Yo, when the long arm of the law
Is grabbing you, backstabbing you
Policecars passing you, on dark avenues
Mag lights flashing you, pigs harassing you
Breaking you down, smashing you
[Supreme]
Asking you "what", "why", "when"
And "Where at were you?"
"And with whom", so you is innocent till proved (yea,yea)
Theyre in the wrong mood, youre in the wrong goove
Or you might look kinnda rude, eatherways youre getting screwed
Told what not to do, how to improve the system
By not making moves, not questioning rules
Not being concerned with, whos getting beat and bruised
Whos being abused, well well
I got news for those who belive the police doing their work right
My man from back home, killed this kid in a fight
Had to do social-work, he got arrested a few times
But never had to do time, never paid no fines
This other cat, he goes trace, with official failance
Which equals, he lost some money for the government
They couldnt prove his guilt, as he stood in silence
But since that crime was economical
They bet every law and paragraph, they could find to lock him up
Now what does that teach us? -They dont give a fuck
If you hurt flesh and blood that dont cross nothing
But youll get like twelve months for material destruction
Yo, thats disgusting
So when the long arm of the law try to get its grip
Pull your middle finger and split
(yo, split)
[Chorus:] Yo, when the long arm of the law
Is grabbing you, backstabbing you
Policecars passing you, on dark avenues
Mag lights flashing you, pigs harassing you
Breaking you down, smashing you
[Cos.m.i.c]
Its like this, Im opressed by the whole system
Thats why I diss em, no fake ass-kissing
Yo listen, recently I had to pay a visit
To Malmoe courthouse, two-thousand crowns if I miss this, so skip it
I went down there to be confronted
I denied the whole scenario, said I couldnt have done it
9:30 in the morning, met my lawyer
he said it looks kinnda bad, they got witnesses and all that
FUCK THAT
I still fill like I am innocent
You think I wrote BIF on McD without a reason? (whoa?)
Yo, Im stuck, its like David versus Goliath
A lonely man, versus the corruption of alliance
Dont expect silence though, I make noise till ya ears bleed
And make you all scrap paint until I stop breath
Belive me, I know the time when its on
Cosmic, lyricly I rock in Babylon
-But yo Cos, what happened at that trial incident?
You know the same old song
They find my story insufficient, mistreated, defeated and mentally harassed
An outcast, whos down for punishment at last
Yo, ya, wa, check
[Chorus:] Yo, when the long arm of the law
Is grabbing you, backstabbing you
Policecars passing you, on dark avenues
Mag lights flashing you, pigs harassing you
Breaking you down, smashing you
Gouvernment taxing you, turning backs on you
If you got the wrong sex, and the wrong accent too
The wrong attitude, living on the wrong latitude
Still they want your ass to show gratitude
