Lyrics
4-These procedures cops use to arrest makes me wonder,
One time I seen 5 cops arresting one solo one,
Don't get me wrong I know there's backup for protection,
But here's a prime example for that backup to learn lesson,
1-First of all, your citizen's in custody already,
Face into the ground screams of painful cry so steady,
He didn't show or act like he was high on some amphetamine-
With super natural human strength abilities,
4.5-Yet, knees up in his back 2 police press the weight-
While 3rd cop hold his head down handcuffs gravitate,
Man I wish I had a camera picture snap take to local news-
Show the scene plain as it be new citizen bruised,
1-META's feeling great walking street this day,
Serendipity show me scope of cops in LA,
Police don't play in today on block with some-
Legalized weaponry to protect and serve them-
***So bust, we're living in days of unrighteous man,
Thrust, so all up, up in you the best he can,
Hush, no one say nothing, but no one can-
Brush the dust off Laws Laid Low,
Bust, we're living in days of unrighteous man,
Thrust, so all up, up in you the best he can,
Hush, no one say nothing, but no one can-
Brush the dust off Laws Laid Low***
1-Now I should be quiet but the Earth in me speaks out in fact-
Officer it looks like ya'll the ones now doing jack,
I'm just one citizen man reflecting what I see in fact-
I wish my bills were paid so my camera phone would snap,
1-Picture this happening makes me so afraid of the bad cop-
For the good cops on block displaying these nonstop,
I betchu $100 right now someone's getting roughed up-
And stretched out and handcuffed this so unjust-
4.5-The police you can't trust they protect themselves first,
The burst of a hearst rolling from shotgun burst,
The curse of your skin glowing, the melanin factor,
From the past them troubles, so today they're going to have to,
1-Do you like they did after watching the Reefer Madness,
Show no sympathy like retired police commanders,
Or could it be simply their just repeating judicial standards,
From the days of way back when them cops spoke with improper grammar-
***So bust, we're living in days of unrighteous man,
Thrust, so all up, up in you the best he can,
Hush, no one say nothing, but no one can-
Brush the dust off Laws Laid Low***
4.5-Peep the scene you got 4 police cars on the spot right,
Traffic on Hollywood Blvd is grid lock tight,
And available under the lights the tourist gaze and wonder,
Plus the police cars indeed show they blunders,
1-Two police in one car makes 8 cops on sight,
And think it's one citizen giving them trouble tonight,
And although he didn't fight the police still clutch they billy clubs-
Just in case a civil riot sparks from what they done,
1-" Step back sir, the noise your making is confusing me, "
She said strongly hands at wayside ready to squeeze,
So you know where I be, out of sight without a doubt,
Fortunately there's a medicinal store let me get in house-
4.5-But, supposedly I would have stood with the freedom of expression route,
Then you'd probably see me handcuffed to the county jail house,
This routine from the other side of the tracks,
Shows blood, sweat and tears no matter where your at,
***So bust, we're living in days of unrighteous man,
Thrust, so all up, up in you the best he can,
Hush, no one say nothing, but no one can-
Brush the dust off Laws Laid Low x 2***
Laws Laid Low.
