Busdriver Puts One Up For Ferguson With "Cop"

Busdriver Puts One Up For Ferguson With "Cop"

Busdriver is amongst the latest to dedicate some fierce verses to the landlocked mayhem taking place in Ferguson, MO with the combative loosie "Cop." In the crawling, creeped-out single we find LA's underground verbal bomber painting a pretty nasty picture of a member of the police force, drawing closer attention to the more pervasive mindsets and tactics of the boys in blue, currently waging war against an unarmed public on Mizzou streets. He joins the likes of Killer Mike, Lauryn Hill, Frank Ocean, J Cole, Cam'ron and a slew of other high-profile artists who have voiced their frustration and anger towards the Ferguson PD. Listen to Busdriver's portrayal of a "Cop" and read the lyrics below.

"Cop"

I want to be a cop

can you keep your lips sealed

I think my leadership skills can turn low- level offenders into crisp

bills, you know I've always wanted to be a

cop.

With a uniform fit with colonists' seams

peeing in niggas collard greens as they discuss politics of dreams this why I've always wanted to be a cop

so I can criminalize the gate of your stroll, the shade of mole

and take a tole

a displaced dark face is safe as an ace in the hole for a cop,

as good as I , I'll book a guy drinking crooked I

don't resist pudding pie, you think I won't buy why wouldn't I

I'm a cop

Everything you do is actionable intel

giving NSA search words wind sails, step in jail

When I'm a finally a cop

you'll be indicted for showing PDA in a PDF

and the PDJ sold from the tvset,

chemically discourages your graffiti sketch

I'm a cop "god's an over-advertised lie"

I'm a cop "god's an over-advertised lie"

I'm a cop "god's an over-advertised lie"

You're a cop "god's an over-advertised lie"

When I'm a cop, I'll be like back down kids

Issuing Black Power digs at cacao nibs

cool them niggas off with a blacked out grids

when I'm a cop, I'll have to impersonate your online paramour, across time we will share the war

between cultural anomalies seeping into the arid pore

when you're a cop, you can torment freely, in Semi Valley

Then seize an Audi and beam proudly

turn a routine traffic stop into someone's season finale,

when you a cop.

You can shoot a motherfucker, by the trailer park

planting evidence your defense would razor sharp

then turn around and taze a perp for blazing purp

I'm a cop
