If law enforcement’s not respected
Even by those that we’ve elected
How are we to be protected
Or should crime just be neglected
If we cry ****** every time
The police respond to a crime
It’s like the boy/woof paradigm
See eventually they’ll stop tryin’

I’m not making no excuses
For the occasional abuses
And if that’s what on deduces
Then their rational is useless
I’m only making the argument
That for most their true intent
Is to protect and serve without relent
Consider all the time they’ve spent
Risking their lives to represent

Fact of the matter they are needed
And their instructions shouldn’t go unheeded
If they’re wrong you’ll probably beat it
So there’s no need to get heated
You have rights but let me state
It’s better you cooperate
Rather then to engage in a debate
That might serve to seal your fate

We should be happy that they are there
As you and I are well aware
We suffer the most despair
From crime that’s almost everywhere
It makes you start to realize
They’re there to catch the bad guys
Which shouldn’t come as a surprise
For those who look with open eyes
