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      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   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      [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      [Cos.m.i.c]   It's like this, I'm opressed by the whole system   That's why I diss 'em, no fake ass-kissing   Yo listen, recently I had to pay a visit   To Malmoe courthouse, two-thousand crowns if I miss this, so skip it   I went down there to be confronted   I denied the whole scenario, said I couldn't have done it   9:30 in the morning, met my lawyer   he said it looks kinnda bad, they got witnesses and all that   FUCK THAT   I still fill like I am innocent   You think I wrote BIF on McD without a reason? (whoa?)   Yo, I'm stuck, it's like David versus Goliath   A lonely man, versus the corruption of alliance   Don't expect silence though, I make noise till ya ears bleed   And make you all scrap paint until I stop breath   Belive me, I know the time when it's on   Cosmic, lyricly I rock in Babylon   -But yo Cos, what happened at that trial incident?   You know the same old song   They find my story insufficient, mistreated, defeated and mentally harassed   An outcast, who's down for punishment at last      Yo, ya, wa, check      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   Gouvernment taxing you, turning backs on you   If you got the wrong sex, and the wrong accent too   The wrong attitude, living on the wrong latitude   Still they want your ass to show gratitude
