Kamau - Pohlease lyrics

Dum, dum dum, dum As a Black person in America, When you see the police Say a little prayer to the Shepherd, Who let Wolves guard the Sheep? (Chorus) Who Police the Police? (Who Police the Police) Who Police the Police? (Who Police the Police) Who Police the Police? (Who Police them) When they get out of line ­ X2(Post Chorus) Are they gon' have to k** somebody? To get this revolutionary started YEBP It's been a while since the KluKlux Looked like the KluKlux You ain't gotta glue clues As common as glucose To glimpse them in a blue cloak Welcome to America The new coke A cola coated with a bit a codeine Cope with or decode it Children of the corner Get no dosage from the club Club full of k**ers k**ing Cubs just because Color is a credible cause To make the bird caw Incredible cost to a mother To get that cursed call That's a curb stomp to her Confidence That's as common as condiments That's the kind of incompetence That'll conjure a conflict We're at war with security After we built the company Yebo (Chorus) (Post Chorus) (Verse#2) Welcome to the guantlet We're in the middle of Criminals and Convicts What's a convict To a criminal, sanctioned by the law, paid by the General? Or even worse, who do you call When you're food for the law When you're Garner and the concrete Is intruding your jaw How you shoot for the stars When peace officers are shooting at yours How many more Malcolm Littles Shot or Behind bars While the Malcolm in the Middle's Get a shot at the bar Part of the reason why we throw so many shots at the bar Pardon my reaching, when you shot me I was getting my wallet Pardon my screaming But you take too many shots in the dark Pardon my screaming but Talking over your Glock is impossible This is how it sounds when your skin starts biting you This is how it feels when your skin stars eating you This is a problem Not a black problem This is a problem Not a black problem This is a problem Not a black problem (Chorus) (Post Chorus) (Outro) They don't have to k** They don't, They don't have to k** They don't have to k** They don't, They don't have to k** They don't have to k** Eric Garner Dontre Hamilton John Crawford III Michael Brown Jr Ezell Ford Dante Parker Tanesha Anderson Akai Gurley Bettie Jones (Reading of countless names of lives stolen by Police Brutality) When you see the police Say a little prayer to the Shepherd, Who let Wolves guard the Sheep Emmett Till YEBO
