When cops are takin' care of business, I can understand
But the L.A. story has gone way out of hand
Acts of aggression, say they're justified
Seems an obsession's started from the inside
They shootin' anyone who even tries to run
They shootin' little kids with toy guns
Take it to a jury, they don't give a damn
The one who tells the truth is always the policeman
Beat all the niggers
Beat whoever you see
Don't need a reason
L.A.P.D.
City of L.A. feels like a prison
With helicopters overhead and bullets whizzing by
Martial law, that ain't no solution
Police brutality's just social pollution, now
Beat all the white trash
Beat whoever you see
Don't need a reason
L.A.P.D.
Say they're keepin' the peace
But man, I ain't buyin', 'cause a billy club ain't much of a pacifier
"Protecting your freedom", man, it's just a lie
Excuse for power, that's more like an alibi
Law and order doesn't really matter
When you're the one getting bruised and battered
And you take it to a jury, they'll throw it in your face
'Cause justice in L.A. comes in a can of mace, now
Beat all the niggers
Beat whoever you see
Don't need a reason
L.A.P.D.
L.A.P.D.
L.A.P.D.
