30 Cops or More Lyrics

Boogie Down Productions

When they arrest a black man They need 30 cops or more, well, now When they arrest a black man They need 30 cops or more, well, now, hey
If you a black herb smuggler They will watch you by the hour It only means that if you have more money Then you have more power
They will come in the night And they will read you your rights There is no need to fight If you're black there is no need to fight
When they arrest a black man They need 30 cops or more, well, now When they arrest a black man They need 30 cops or more, well, now, hey
Years ago a black man couldn't be a cop They could only be great dancers When the whole police department was white Justice was The Black Panthers
We've been robbed of our religion Our government and social position And you won't see no quick solution Until you see the black revolution
But when them come to arrest a black man They need 30 cops or more, well, now When they arrest a black man They need 30 cops or more, well, now, hey
He's gonna get across the border before we could catch him Just let me draw a bead on his black ass and he's dead
They arrest us by the hour 'Cause the black man in the ghetto has power If he would wake up and unite The police department would lose the fight
But when them come to arrest a black man They need 30 cops or more, well, now When they arrest a black man They need 30 cops or more, well, now, hey
If you a black herb smuggler They will watch you by the hour It only means that if you have more money Then you have more power
They will come in the night And they will read you your rights There is no need to fight If you're black there is no need to fight
But when them come to arrest a black man They need 30 cops or more, well, now When they arrest a black man They need 30 cops or more, well, now, hey
He's gonna get across the border before we could catch him Just let me draw a bead on his black ass and he's dead
He's gonna make it, let the dogs go No, I won't do it, he's got full, they've only got two They'll tear him apart, I won't do it, let the dogs go Turn loose those dogs
