Krs Sound Of Da Police Lyrics -

"The sound of the police / The sound of the beast" "The police are here to protect me? / Protect me from who? From myself? / Nah, protect me from the guy next door / Who's the guy next door? Another Black man." "I'm not a criminal / The system is criminal" Why it still hits: Three decades later, the track remains a timeless commentary on racial profiling, police brutality, and the relationship between authority and marginalized communities. KRS-One uses the fable of the "duck and the rabbit" (hunter vs. pest) to explain how the same law treats different people based on perception.

🔊 "WOO-HAH! Got you all in check."

"WOO-HAH! WOO-HAH! WOO-HAH! WOO-HAH!"

Released in 1993 on the album Return of the Boom Bap , KRS-One's "Sound of da Police" is one of hip-hop's most powerful socio-political anthems. The track uses a sample of the Inner City Blues instrumental and a iconic police siren to frame a raw critique of law enforcement and systemic oppression.
