Lyrics Translation

Woop-woop, that's the sound of da police
Woop-woop, that's the sound of da beast
Woop-woop, that's the sound of da police
Woop-woop, that's the sound of da beast (yes indeed)
Woop-woop, that's the sound of da police
Woop-woop, that's the sound of da beast
Woop-woop, that's the sound of da police
Woop-woop, that's the sound of da beast (yes indeed)

Stand clear, Don man'll talk
You can't stand where I stand, you can't walk where I walk
Watch out, we run New York
Policeman come, we bust him out the park
I know this for a fact, you don't like how I act
You claim I'm sellin' crack, but you be doin' that
I'd rather say see ya, 'cause I would never be ya
Be an officer? You wicked overseer
You hotshot, wanna get props and be a savior
First show a little respect, change your behavior
Change your attitude, change your plan
There could never really be justice on stolen land
Are you really for peace and equality?
Or when my car is hooked up, you know you wanna follow me
Your laws are minimal
'Cause you won't even think about lookin' at the real criminal
This has got to cease
'Cause we be gettin' hyped to the sound of da police

Woop-woop, that's the sound of da police
Woop-woop, that's the sound of da beast
Woop-woop, that's the sound of da police
Woop-woop, that's the sound of da beast

Now here's a likkle truth, open up your eye
While you're checkin' out the boom-bap, check the exercise
Take the word overseer, like a sample
Repeat it very quickly in a crew, for example
Overseer, overseer, overseer, overseer
Officer, officer, officer, officer
Yeah, officer from overseer
You need a little clarity? Check the similarity
The overseer rode around the plantation
The officer is off, patrollin' all the nation
The overseer could stop you, "what you're doin'?"
The officer will pull you over just when he's pursuin'
The overseer had the right to get ill
And if you fought back, the overseer had the right to kill
The officer has the right to arrest
And if you fight back they put a hole in your chest (woop)
They both ride horses
After 400 years, I've got no choices
The police them have a likkle gun
So when I'm on the streets, I walk around with a bigger one (woop-woop)
I hear it all day
Just so they can run the light and be upon their way

Yes indeed
Yes indeed
Yes indeed
Yes indeed

Woop-woop, that's the sound of da police
Woop-woop, that's the sound of da beast
Woop-woop, that's the sound of da police

Check out the message in a rough stylee
The real criminal are the C-O-P
You check for undercover and the one P.D
But just a mere Black man, them wan' check me
Them check out me car, for it shine like the sun
But them jealous or them vexed, 'cause them can't afford one
Black people still slaves up 'til today
But the Black police officer nyah see it that way
Him want a salary, him want it
So he put on a badge and kill people for it
My grandfather had to deal with the cops
My great-grandfather dealt with the cops
My great-grandfather had to deal with the cops
And then my great, great, great, great, when it's gonna stop?

Woop-woop, that's the sound of da police

Stand clear, Don man'll talk
Fique claro, Don vai falar
You can't stand where I stand, you can't walk where I walk
Você não pode ficar onde eu fico, você não pode andar onde eu ando
Watch out, we run New York
Cuidado, nós comandamos Nova York
Policeman come, we bust him out the park
Policiais vêm, nós os expulsamos do parque
I know this for a fact, you don't like how I act
Eu sei disso por um fato, você não gosta de como eu ajo
You claim I'm sellin' crack, but you be doin' that
Você alega que estou vendendo crack, mas você que faz isso
I'd rather say see ya, 'cause I would never be ya
Eu prefiro dizer tchau, porque eu nunca seria você
Be an officer? You wicked overseer
Ser um policial? Você é um supervisor malvado
You hotshot, wanna get props and be a savior
Você quer ser o cara, quer ganhar respeito e ser um salvador
First show a little respect, change your behavior
Primeiro mostre um pouco de respeito, mude seu comportamento
Change your attitude, change your plan
Mude sua atitude, mude seu plano
There could never really be justice on stolen land
Nunca poderia haver justiça em terra roubada
Are you really for peace and equality?
Você realmente é a favor da paz e igualdade?
Or when my car is hooked up, you know you wanna follow me
Ou quando meu carro está equipado, você sabe que quer me seguir
Your laws are minimal
Suas leis são mínimas
'Cause you won't even think about lookin' at the real criminal
Porque você nem pensa em olhar para o verdadeiro criminoso
This has got to cease
Isso tem que acabar
'Cause we be gettin' hyped to the sound of da police
Porque nós ficamos animados com o som da polícia
Woop-woop, that's the sound of da police
Woop-woop, esse é o som da polícia
