Lyrics

Should we call the cops?
Yeah, no, uh, we did, but it's okay
'Cause the cops said that, like
The people are just kinda like nothing
So it's fine
What do you mean the people were just kind of nothing?
They're just, like, not important, like, like they don't matter
No one's gonna get in trouble, nobody should feel sad at all
The cops were just like, "Oh yeah, this is fine
Don't worry about it at all"
Uh, I should've quit two years ago
When they fired my good friend who was the CAO
Backdoor politics, I was totally surprised
Couldn't believe it when they brought it up and everybody said "Aight"
They gave the job to the ex-mayor's son's wife
Two years, still needs help to do the job right
And when I spoke up, I got harassed
Nobody said one word, probably read it and laughed
One dude named Rick was an absolute dick
Sent me drunk emails all insultin' me and shit
The mayor hated conflict so much
That when anybody disagreed, he'd get his panties in a bunch
They got mad when I criticized the cops
Yep, yep, I said it, no, I don't regret it
But I apologize, Chris's wife was upset
He's supposed to be workin', but he's sleepin' in his bed
Crack dealers sellin' dope, girls payin' with sex
Sudden deaths, what the cops call murder instead
Used to walk around the corner every time you see the cops
Now they're sleepin' on the job, not even in their own shop
Cars gettin' stolen, locked up in the driveway
Sorry, ma'am, your Mitsubishi's crashed on the highway
Folks who went to school with caught on camera
Tryna steal cigarettes, cracked out and hammered
Kids barricadin' themselves in they rooms
'Cause their car's on fire and they don't know what to do
Dial 911, "Sir, what's your emergency?"
The cops are in my yard and I think they're gonna murder me
I got 'em mad 'cause I got the drop on 'em
Goin' middle-aged white dad Tupac on 'em
I been gettin' mad support, I got people reachin' out
So if you got some information, you should give me a shout (Yep)
This ain't a story, this is real shit
Monkey Mark, gather up your funky bunch and fix this
I promise you the public is about to go ballistic
Everybody say it with me, "Fuck your statistics"
You think that I'm intimidated by some little sawed-off nerd
Who got bullied in high school and now it's his turn
You tried to get into my head, well, I guess you succeeded
I told you how I feel, I don't need to repeat it
All you say is "Um, um, t-today, junior"
Started out civil, now homie, I wanna ruin ya
Thanks for the surprise, bet you thought you really got me
The nepotism hire and the creepy little wifey
Tryna flex a muscle that you don't really have
Hopefully this mayor's not a pushover granddad
Messin' with my mental health 'cause you think I got issues
Poor, poor, pitiful me, I skip the tissues
I'm usin' my mania, tryin' to explain to ya
This ain't a game, I ain't really tryna play with ya
Mikey got murdered and you know who did it
Say that it's an overdose 'cause I know you won't admit it
Crooked cops everywhere, all over the region
If I go missin', you can bet that's the reason
I put my life on the line for my community
And I don't give a good goddamn what they do to me
I ain't a counselor, I just rap a lot
Boys are gettin' caught, bangin' drug addicts, give 'em crack a lot
You never hear about the shit in a small town
You're part of the problem and I'm 'bout to take you all down
This ain't a threat, it's a promise
Put on your goofy uniform instead of your pajamas
Even your little buddies hate ya
I put the fear in McFearson, so homie, I'll see ya later
Um, um, um
Um, um, um
Crime, crime, crime
Crime, crime, crime
Really disturbing the crime
Really disturbing the crime, crime
Um, um, um
Um, um, um
