[Verse 3]
If civilians dey suffer, and
Police sef day suffer, then
Who day cause the suffer, then
If civilians dey suffer, and
Police sef dey suffer, then
Who dey cause the suffer, then
[Chorus]
When we say

When we talk of police brutality
We must know, we must know, we must know
Why they are the way they are
Why they are the way they are
Why they are the way they are
Why they are the way they are
Why they are the way they are
Why they are the way they are
Why they are the way they are
Why they are the way they are
Free your mind, and
Clear your eyes
See who is the real
Enemy, your enemy
Enemy, your enemy
Enemy, your enemy
Enemy, your enemy
[Outro]
