K-Rino - Letter to the Law (Track 6 on The Maven ) lyrics

I can't believe people say you a hater
Just because we called for help and
You came an hour later
Maybe you was extra busy
Stoppin' criminal acts
Some even said you pull people
Over because they black
All of y'all are doin' great jobs
Keepin' your scope on us
And I refuse to believe you would
Plant some dope on us
They had to be wrong if
You busted in their residence
They even lied and said
You created fictional evidence
I gotta commend how you handle situations
Shot a youngsta'
Beat his mama and got a paid vacation
I know it's hard bein' you
So why would they question?
And everything you do


We know it's all for our protection
Passin' through our neighborhoods
Spyin' at night
Some consider it harassment and
Denyin' our rights (Not me)
You had to have a good reason
For attemptin' to hurt us
Cause I know that ya'll would never
Ever do it on purpose

Dear Mr policeman
Why is everybody trippin'? I
Just don't understand
I know you out here in the streets
Doin' the best that you can
If I could meet you face to face
I would shake your hand dear Mr policeman
Why is everybody trippin'? I
Just don't understand
I know you out here in the streets
Doin' the best that you can
If I could meet you face to face
I would shake your hand

Dear Mr policeman
Them tickets you wrote for me
Costed over a grand
Didn't think that I was speeding
But you got me because
And since I know you wouldn't tell a lie
I guess that I was
Kinda strugglin' so to not pay
'em is threatenin' my freedom
Thanks for showin' up at court to
Make sure I didn't beat 'em
And we don't make it easy
When we see y'all 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 stick and by the way
That taser and that pepper
Spray did the trick
I'm still walkin' funny
Hope my vision kicks back in
I know that I was wrong sir
I'll never J Walk again
Somebody told me you was jealous cause
That car was brand new i said
The police jealous? that could never be true
Maybe one day I can be as clever as you
You care about us
So you monitor whatever we do (Hah)

Dear Mr policeman
Why is everybody trippin'? I
Just don't understand
I know you out here in the streets
Doin' the best that you can
If I could meet you face to face
I would shake your hand dear Mr policeman
Why is everybody trippin'? I
Just don't understand
I know you out here in the streets
Doin' the best that you can
If I could meet you face to face
I would shake your hand

Pardon me Mr policeman
These cuffs are cuttin' off the
Blood flow to my hands
It's amazing how you kicked that
Dude all in his face
And beat the case even though they
Had it all on tape
I know you love the people in the hood
How could you fake it?
And that missing drug money
I know you didn't take it
I don't understand why people
Accuse you of hate
I know you only follow us to
Make sure that we're safe
I saw 9 of ya'll against 1
Beatin' 'em brainless
That 65 year old woman
Must've really been dangerous
Cleanin' up the streets is your top priority
You 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 perfect
And everybody that you locked up
They had to deserve it (yeah)

Dear Mr policeman
Why is everybody trippin'? I
Just don't understand
I know you out here in the streets
Doin' the best that you can
If I could meet you face to face
I would shake your hand dear Mr policeman
Why is everybody trippin'? I
Just don't understand
I know you out here in the streets
Doin' the best that you can
If I could meet you face to face
I would shake your hand
