Boogie Down Productions: Who Protects Us From You

aus dem Album: Ghetto Music - The Blueprint Of Hip-Hop

Songtext:
Verse Auto Folien
(Fy-ah! Come down fas'...)
You were put here to protect us
But who protects us from you? Billiard Regeln
Every time you say "That's illegal"
Doesn't mean that that's true (Uh-huh)
Your authority's never questioned Werbeagentur Düsseldorf
No-one questions you
If I hit you I'll be killed
But you hit me? I can sue (Order! Order!) Pflaumenlikör
Lookin' through my history book
I've watched you as you grew
Killin' blacks and callin' it the law kein wein
(Bo! Bo! Bo!) And worshipping Jesus too
There was a time when a black man
Couldn't be down wit' your crew (Can I have a job please?) hotel in kitzbühel
Now you want all the help you can get
Scared? Well ain't that true (You goddamn right)
You were put here to protect us Memory Spiel
But who protects us from you?
Or should I say, who are you protecting?
The rich? the poor? Who? Ratingen Immobilien
It seems that when you walk the ghetto
You walk wit' your own point of view (Look at that gold chain)
You judge a man by the car he drives Pflanzenextrakte
Or if his hat match his shoe (Yo, you lookin' kinda fresh)
Well, back in the days of Sherlock Holmes
A man was judged by a clue Cranberry
Now he's judged by if he's Spanish,
Black, Italian or Jew
So do not kick my door down and tie me up
While my wife cooks the stew (You're under arrest!)
Cos you were put here to protect us
But who protects us from you?
(A public service announcement brought to you by the scientists of
Boogie Down Productions. Fy-ah! Come again...)
