Those plain clothes cops
Won’t admit
That they wronged the Mail Man
They almost hit
Was he disorderly
Perhaps a little bit
But wouldn’t you be
If you almost was it

What’s the point
In wearing plain clothes
Acting undercover
If everyone knows
That you’re the cops
Well let’s just suppose
That they don’t know
The profession you chose

The cops were aggressive as the video shows
Now that it went viral
Almost everyone knows
Then they rear-ended another car
Which sent the prisoner flying
So there you are
But clearly they didn’t give a ****
They didn’t even bother to secure his truck

What’s the point
In wearing plain clothes
Acting undercover
If everyone knows
That you’re the cops
Well let’s just suppose
That they don’t know
The profession you chose

It was abuse of power
But the Mail Man was charged
With disorderly conduct
Which was a mirage
The facts of the matter
Are as plain as day
He shouldn’t have been arrested
But he was anyway

There was a time
They said they ruled the night
But Amadou Diallo
Was a gruesome sight
They haven’t lost that swag
And that ain’t right

What’s the point
In wearing plain clothes
Acting undercover
If everyone knows
That you’re the cops
Well let’s just suppose
That they don’t know
The profession you chose
