Busdriver Puts One Up For Ferguson With "Cop"
Busdriver is amongst the latest to dedicate some fierce verses to the landlocked mayhem taking place in Ferguson, MO with the combative loosie "Cop." In the crawling, creeped-out single we find LA's underground verbal bomber painting a pretty nasty picture of a member of the police force, drawing closer attention to the more pervasive mindsets and tactics of the boys in blue, currently waging war against an unarmed public on Mizzou streets. He joins the likes of Killer Mike, Lauryn Hill, Frank Ocean, J Cole, Cam'ron and a slew of other high-profile artists who have voiced their frustration and anger towards the Ferguson PD. Listen to Busdriver's portrayal of a "Cop" and read the lyrics below.
"Cop"
I want to be a cop
can you keep your lips sealed
I think my leadership skills can turn low- level offenders into crisp
bills, you know I've always wanted to be a
cop.
With a uniform fit with colonists' seams
peeing in niggas collard greens as they discuss politics of dreams this why I've always wanted to be a cop
so I can criminalize the gate of your stroll, the shade of mole
and take a tole
a displaced dark face is safe as an ace in the hole for a cop,
as good as I , I'll book a guy drinking crooked I
don't resist pudding pie, you think I won't buy why wouldn't I
I'm a cop
Everything you do is actionable intel
giving NSA search words wind sails, step in jail
When I'm a finally a cop
you'll be indicted for showing PDA in a PDF
and the PDJ sold from the tvset,
chemically discourages your graffiti sketch
I'm a cop "god's an over-advertised lie"
I'm a cop "god's an over-advertised lie"
I'm a cop "god's an over-advertised lie"
You're a cop "god's an over-advertised lie"
When I'm a cop, I'll be like back down kids
Issuing Black Power digs at cacao nibs
cool them niggas off with a blacked out grids
when I'm a cop, I'll have to impersonate your online paramour, across time we will share the war
between cultural anomalies seeping into the arid pore
when you're a cop, you can torment freely, in Semi Valley
Then seize an Audi and beam proudly
turn a routine traffic stop into someone's season finale,
when you a cop.
You can shoot a motherfucker, by the trailer park
planting evidence your defense would razor sharp
then turn around and taze a perp for blazing purp
I'm a cop
