about

Write me down with a pen and a pad
The right to profile comes with a badge
I'm chillin on the street, you think I'm sellin dope
And now a brother has a fear of gettin smoked

Tried to tell you that I did nothing wrong
Didn't believe me so I put it in a song
Pulled me over, "Sir, you're going too fast"
Ten miles under yeah, it's 'cuz I'm black

Fifty thousand, yeah, fifty thousand
Is that how many cells you put my people in
Nah, it's your salary, well nourished, well undeserved
So I guess a $200 ticket won't hurt

Money talks, dirty cops filling up the block
Now the time is running out for me on the clock
No, I don't pop pills, but I pay my bills
But the people protecting us are out to kill

No officer, I'm not on the run
No officer, I don't have a gun
Hey man, I work a 9 to 5
Working hard just to stay alive
No officer, I don't live alone
Just wanna get back to my home
Seems strange to me, and yes I'll bet
You don't like me or my corvette, aye

I shouldn't be so scared to move my hands
Would you treat me like that if I didn't have a tan?
Trigger happy finger if I twitch
I wonder how I'd act if the roles were switched

For the green, for the green, you do it for the green
I'm not part of your politic machine
Took away my power as a citizen
You know that's not the way that it should've been


No officer, I'm not on the run
No officer, I don't have a gun
Hey man, I work a 9 to 5
Working hard just to stay alive
No officer, I don't live alone
Just wanna get back to my home
Seems strange to me, and yes I'll bet
You don't like me or my corvette


No officer, I'm not on the run
No officer, I don't have a gun (on the run)
Hey man, I work a 9 to 5
Working hard just to stay alive (working hard)
No officer, I don't live alone
Just wanna get back to my home
Seems strange to me, and yes I'll bet
You don't like me or my corvette
