Lyrics to Long Arm Of The Law : [Chorus:] Yo, when the long arm of the law Is grabbing you, backstabbing you Policecars passing you, on dark avenues Mag lights flashing you, pigs harassing you Breaking you down, smashing you (smashing you)
[Promoe] On the concrete, you find out you can't compete With the number one thief on the street I tried to tell you that back, on the biggest hustle track It's OK to sell crack, if the cops got your back And they certainly will, if they're on your payoff They know that if they fuck around, they're getting laid off and since to cops, just like the average citizen, a clean conscience compared to a steady income, that's nonsense That's why I stay getting busted for bullshit charges More than one time, one time, came around This fuck went down När ja å Tommy var i Burlöv, du kommer ihåg, eller hur bög? -Jorå schlook, vi hade just fotat pieces Now we're getting fucked by the long dick of the law Inflict social diseases cause they use no protection Judge slam the hammer, D.A. got an erection Wouldn't even give me a public defender For such a small case, not paying on the trains Still they wanna four thousand crownors, from my bank account I thought that was a too big amount But the judge didn't had no sympathy on me All on his mind, a conviction or are fine, like Junior Reeves But I wasn't fighting -No war (no waaar) Still they wanna send a mailman with a ticket to mi door -ah to mi doooor I was only trying to make a wholecar -A wholecar The Bigfoot beast wanna arrest dej, and put you behind bars -In just a blur, in just a blur Free mumia abu jamal

[Supreme] Asking you "what", "why", "when" And "Where at were you?" "And with whom", so you is innocent till proved (yea,yea) They're in the wrong mood, you're in the wrong goove Or you might look kinnda rude, eatherways you're getting screwed Told what not to do, how to improve the system By not making moves, not questioning rules Not being concerned with, who's getting beat and bruised Who's being abused, well well I got news for those who belive the police doing their work right My man from back home, killed this kid in a fight Had to do social-work, he got arrested a few times But never had to do time, never paid no fines This other cat, he goes trace, with official failance Which equals, he lost some money for the government They couldn't prove his guilt, as he stood in silence But since that crime was economical They bet every law and paragraph, they could find to lock him up Now what does that teach us? -They don't give a fuck If you hurt flesh and blood that don't cross nothing But you'll get like twelve months for material destruction Yo, that's disgusting So when the long arm of the law try to get it's grip Pull your middle finger and split (yo, split)
[Chorus:] Yo, when the long arm of the law Is grabbing you, backstabbing you Policecars passing you, on dark avenues Mag lights flashing you, pigs harassing you Breaking you down, smashing you
