K-Rino - Letter to the Law Lyrics
(Verse 1)I can't believe people say you a haterJust because we called for help and you came an hour laterMaybe you was extra busy stoppin' criminal actsSome even said you pull people over because they blackAll of ya'll are doin' great jobs keepin' ya scope on usAnd I refuse to believe you would plant some dope on usThey had to be wrong if you busted in their residenceThey even lied and said you created fictional evidenceI gotta commend how you handle situationsShot a youngsta' beat his mama and got a paid vacationI know its hard bein' you, so why would they question?And everything you do we know its all for our protectionPassin' through our neighborhoods spyin' at nightSome consider it harassment and denyin' our rights (Not me)You had to have a good reason for attemptin' to hurt usCause I know that ya'll would never ever do it on purpose(Chorus)Dear Mr. Policeman,Why is everybody trippin I just don't understandI know you out here in the streets doin the best that you canIf I could meet you face to face I would shake your hand(x2)(Verse 2)Dear Mr. Policeman,Them tickets you wrote for me costed over a grandDidn't think that I was speeding but you got me becauseAnd since I know you wouldn't tell a lie, I guess that I wasKinda strugglin' so to not pay 'em is threatenin' my freedomThanks for showin' up at court to make sure I didn't beat 'emAnd we don't make it easy when we see ya'll comin'Instead of just lettin' you beat us we be strugglin' and runnin'I know you hate it when we make you have to use that stickAnd by the way that tazer and that pepperspray did the trickI'm still walkin' funny, hope my vision kicks back inI know that I was wrong sir I'll never J-Walk againSomebody told me you was jealous cause that car was brand newI said, The police jealous? that could never be trueMaybe one day I can be as clever as youYou care about us, so you monitor whatever we do(Hah)(Chorus)(Verse 3)Pardon me Mr. PolicemanThese cuffs are cuttin' off the blood flow to my handsIt's amazing how you kicked that dude all in his faceAnd beat the case even though they had it all on tapeI know you love the people in the hood, how could you fake it?And that missing drug money, I know you didn't take itI don't understand why people accuse you of hateI know you only follow us to make sure that we're safeI saw 9 of ya'll against 1, beatin' 'em brainlessThat 65 year old woman must of really been dangerousCleanin' up the streets is your top priorityYou qualified for this, why would we question your authority?You only workin' hard, followin' and trainin'Why the hell all the Mexicans and Blacks complainin'?You gotta be the closest thing I've seen to perfectAnd everybody that you locked up, they had to deserve it(Yeah)(Chorus/Outro)
