Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck

All rude bwoy lissen up

Black cop, black cop, black cop, black cop

Stop shootin' black people, we all gonna drop

You don't even get paid a whole lot

So take your M sixty and put it 'pon lock

Take your four, five and you put it 'pon lock

Lookin' for your people when you walk down a block

Here in America you have drug spot

They get the black cop to watch the drug spot

The black drug dealer just avoid black cop

They're killin' each other on a East Coast block

Killin' each other on a West Coast block

White police, don't give a care about dat

Dem want us killin' each other over crack

Anyway you put it, it's a black on black

Black cop, black cop, black cop

Black cop, black cop, black cop

Thirty years, there were no black cops

You couldn't even run, drive round the block

Recently police trained black cop

To stand on the corner and take gunshot

This type of warfare isn't new or a shock

It's black on black crime, again nonstop

Black cop, black cop, black cop

Black cop, black cop, black cop

Don't be the sucker

Don't be the sucker, comin' into my face

Don't be the sucker

Here's what the West and the East have in common

Both have black cops in cars profilin'

Hardcore kids in the West got stress

In the East we are chased by the same black beast

The black cop is the only real obstacle

Black slave turned black cop is not logical

But very psychological, haven't you heard?

It's the black cop killin' black kids in Johannesburg

Whassup black cop, yo, whassup?

Your authorization says shoot your nation

You wanna uphold the law, what could you do to me?

The same law dissed the whole black community

You can't play both sides of the fence

1993, mad kids are gettin' tense

Black cop, black cop, black cop, black cop

Stop shootin' black people, we all gonna drop

You don't even get paid a whole lot

Take your four, five and you put it 'pon lock

Take your M sixty and put it 'pon lock

Take your uzi, put it 'pon lock

Black cop, black cop, black cop

Black cop, black cop, black cop

Don't be the sucker

Don't be the sucker

Don't be the sucker

Don't be the sucker, comin' into my face

Don't, don't be the sucker, comin' into my face

Don't, don't, don't be the sucker comin' into my face

Don't, don't, don't, don't

Don't be the sucker, comin' into my face

Don't, don't, don't, don't

Don't be the sucker, comin' into my face

Don't, don't, don't

Don't be the sucker, comin' into my face with that yang, yang
