Step Back J - Please Don't Call the Cops

Please don't call the cops
Please don't call the cops
Please don't call the cops, on me
Please don't call the cops
Please don't call the cops

I've always tried to live by the law
I hate when officers get involved
As a kid thought they protect and serve
But now I'm scared when a cop gets called
Cuz all I see when I'm on my screen
A black mans life and how they demean it
And we still bleeding, bare breathing
Losing dreams Luther King believed in
Now I think I need a gun for safety
Maybe then there's a chance I'll protect myself
Guess we'll see where that takes me
Another nigga gone cuz a cop is shady
Being black's a catch 22
You don't rap or you don't hoop
Then when you're dead is when you make the news
And then the Karens come and always make excuses so

Please don't call the cops
Please don't call the cops
Please don't call the cops, on me
Please don't call the cops
Please don't call the cops

I was taught to always mind my business
Niggas take they business and always make it
Things were different when we past last christmas
Put it on my wishlist "please don't take my life"
Cuz I'm a young black man in America
When I get in trouble don't know where to go
I stay in my room writin spirituals
Cuz dementors always try to take my spirit yo
Please don't call the cops on me living life
Admit your privilege, don't infringe my rights
You don't know the feeling when we see those lights
Could be the last thing we see when they serve us life
Sorry sir I swear I'm not resisting
I just pulled phone so I could record just
How you pulled me over, thought I would not notice
How you flashed your gun but still ain't showed a warrant

Please don't call the cops
Please don't call the cops
Please don't call the cops, on me
Please don't call the cops
Please don't call the cops
