Pharoahe Monch - What is the Law lyrics

Officer Frank Pagliarule, heh, shit
I hate spics and moolies
On the trains they be actin insane and unruly
It's the "Planet of the Apes"
These gorillas be blastin they tapes
Out of they cars like a cinematic movie
Respondin, to a domestic dispute, the culprit
A younger monkey who went ape-shit
And decided to shoot
His older brother in the brain
His baby's mother couldn't refrain
Keepin sex out the family name
And that keeps me smiling
Like racial profiling
Forever nigga pilin inside Rikers Island
New York's most violent
Black wall of silence
React with black talons when
Wolfpacks are wyling for a white cat
Gotta admit I can rap ta tat tat
My nightstick, on the top of your cap
My blackjack you'll be swallowing
For protestin and hollering
The policy is quality of
Life and zero tolerance

What is the law? Know you heard this before
We find contraband in your car
We breakin your jaw
What is the law? Nigga, mathematics for sure
If they walkin in packs of four
They tryin to score
For any - drug bust or cocaine that's raw
Better believe we takin our twenty
Percent at the door
What is the law? Wolfpacks
Movin on all fours
I'm flawless with weaponry
Mentally ready for war

(What is the law? what is the)

Any formalities in the case
Of police brutality
I've escaped on finer details
And minor technicalities
Here's a verbal medley of deadly force used
Readily abused in that old Ku Kluk pedigree
You better be heavily armed
Forever we ready your song
Steadily ready to move and bomb
I'm like - Hercules, when I work my knees
It's a - search and seize that'll hurt indeed
God bless when the bullets hit
The chest you'll backflip
SWAT - Special Weapons And
Tactics theatrics hot
On your block we lock down all shenanigans
When we roll you stand stiff like mannequins
Take the position for broomstick penetration
(uh)
Legal under the Mayor's new administration
YOU - better forever have your identification
I broke the mold for
Holds that cause asphyxiation
