road to the precinct - hard knocks lyrics

[interlude]
man, i’m tired of these guys beating me all the time
i gotta find a way to get ’em back
i know
when i grow up, i wanna be a cop

[verse 1]
one in my building, two across the street
i had to face the fact, i knew what one of them we’re gonna be
when we played cops and robbers, he would always shoot me
like he knew i would grow up being a threat to society
he always wanted to play the cop
like he enjoyed seeing n*ggas being arrested or shot
little mr. goody two*shoes
if the crew was up to mischief, he would always refuse
one time we stole from the local candy store
i tried to run and got caught in the door
to make ya interest seem all the more real
mighty whitey went to my crib and squealed
so now i’m on a thirty*day punishment
and he snitched with no remorse to my astonishment
and to my friends it wasn’t a surprise
they gotta be in the crib and at the table before 5
guess he thought his actions were decent
but we saw he was on the road to the precinct
[scratches]
“crooked ass cracker” “i gotta find a way to get ’em back”
“crooked ass cracker” “i gotta find a way to”
“crooked ass cracker” “i gotta find a way to get ’em back”
“when i grow up, i wanna be a cop” “crooked ass cracker”

[verse 2]
mighty whitey’s what we use to call him
but deep inside, he knew that no n*gga could befall him
when we cut class, he would jet
and turn around and snitch, teacher’s little pet
the bell would ring at 8:59
we would gather in the hall, he was first in line
dropping dimes ’cause he couldn’t drop drama
since he couldn’t, he was always the hall monitor
we’re drinking brew in the back staircase
he knew and blew the whistle, so security would chase
us through the hall straight to the office
my third time this week, man, i’m headed to a coffin
one time he snitched on brian
but because the kid was white, they said brian was lyin’
so brian waited after school, real cool
mighty whitey played the back and got caught like a fool
as he exited the back door
me and brian turned that ass into a human seesaw
the next day, eye jammies and speed knots
now, he’s forever getting beat down on the block
no more takin’ the long way home
no more flintstone lumps to his dome
he’s off to pursue his favorite game position
only to come back and gain little recognition
on the road to the precinct
[scratches]
“crooked ass cracker” “i gotta find a way to get ’em back”
“crooked ass cracker” “i gotta find a way to”
“crooked ass cracker” “i gotta find a way to get ’em back”
“when i grow up, i wanna be a cop” “crooked ass cracker”

[verse 3]
straight out the army to the local 46
he remembered our threats, now he’s keeping his promises
a vet as a military cop
so he knows the procedures to have a n*gga’s ass dropped
his first day back in the old hood
and he beats a dred down with a six*foot plywood
making his own judgement call
scene more bl**dy than the movie walking tall
and i’m on the corner selling herb
“mighty whitey’s back” is the neighborhood word
in my tracks, i stop
not believing what i’m hearing, and guess what, he’s a cop
he even caught brian selling dope
made him eat the dope, then beat him to a pulp
he heard i’m still around so he’s looking for me
somebody even told him i got girls hooking for me
one night i’m frisked to the last thread on my britches
he came up short, so on the strength, gave me ten stitches
dope corners are cleared
from here on out, it’s straight up avenue fear
he ain’t thinking twice ’cause now he’s vice
dope houses now are only homes for roaches and mice
housing authority sees him as a star
a street in the bronx looking like hollywood boulevard
gained respect from the gun that he carries
that dirty ass cop name harry
is now in the precinct
in the precinct
dirty ass cop name harry
in the precinct
[outro: chuck d]
5*0 said freeze
5*0 said freeze
5*0 said freeze
5*0 said freeze
