Key: Gb major
Verse 1
You were put here to protect us
But who protects us from you?
Every time you say
'That's illegal'
Doesn't mean that that's
true (Uh- huh)
Your authority's never questioned
No- one questions you
If I hit you I'll be killed
But you hit me? I can sue (Order!
Order!)
Lookin' through my history book
I've watched you as you grew
Killin' blacks and callin' it
the law
(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?)
Now you want all the help you can get
Scared? Well ain't that true
(You goddamn right)

Verse 2
The rich? the poor? Who?
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
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
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!)
'cause you were put here to protect us
But who protects us from you?
