letra de stop and frisk - scientist

[intro]
people, have you met the new jim crow?
the bottle is new, but the wine is old
some things in life just never change
like the babylon system, how they run their game

[verse 1]
they used to swing like bunnies from the trees
now they lock ’em in the cell an’ they throw away the keys
ghetto youth don’t really stand a chance
every single day is like a dangerous match
look out, son, it’s time to run
’cause the cops are rollin’ up now
an’ they reachin’ for their gun (hear me singing!)

[chorus]
stop an’ frisk, we are at risk
round up like (you got to)
watch your back
police dem a come and launch they attack
people don’t you know (dat the new jim crow has got to go)
why-oh? (we’ve got to overthrow)
wo-ho (the new jim crow)
why-oh?

[verse 2]
dat may introduce the new jim crow
different channel, different time slot
but the same is show
nowadays it’s crime if it’s all look right
ripping statues from the streets, any day or night
an’ the system that ejects poor to the bridge
dem change [?] as we face the switch
they say, “just work out an’ you can live the dream”
but they feed us in the streets, bring us down to our knees
(so, this is what we’re singing)
[chorus]
stop an’ frisk, we are at risk
round up like (you got to)
watch your back
police dem a come and launch they attack
people don’t you know (dat the new jim crow has got to go)
why-oh? (we’ve got to overthrow)
wo-ho (the new jim crow)
why-oh?
