Who Protects Us From You - Boogie Down Productions

Who Protects Us From You - Boogie Down Productions
Fy ah come down fas'
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 godd**n right
You were put here to protect us
But who protects us from you
Or should I say who are you protecting
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
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
