When cops are taking care of business I can understand
But the L.A. story`s gone way out of hand
Their acts of aggression, they say they`re justified
But it seems an obsession has started from the inside
They`re shooting anyone who even tries to run
They`re shooting little kids with toy guns
Take it to a jury but they don`t give a damn
Because the one who tells the truth is always the policeman
CHORUS
Beat all the niggers
Beat whoever you see
Don`t need a reason
(We`re) L.A.P.D.
The city of L.A. feels like a prison
With helicopters overhead and bullets whizzing by
Martial law ain`t no solution
Police brutality`s just social pollution
Beat all the white trash
Beat whoever you see
Don`t need a reason
(We`re) L.A.P.D.
They say they`re keeping the peace
But I`m not buying it because a billy club ain`t much of a pacifier
Protecting your freedom
Now that`s just a lie
It`s an excuse for power that`s more like an alibi
Law and order doesn`t really matter
When you`re the one getting bruisedand battered
You take it to a jury, they`ll throw it in your face
Because justice in L.A. comes in a can of mace
CHORUS
