Pamela Means - Two Halves Lyrics

jersey troopers take a walk
high paid lawyers bargain talk
about the poison in the system
how they drank it down and became victims
today they overturned convictions
of louima's civil rights violations
by a gang of nypd's finest
who were really just thugs
with a penchant for violence
is that him walkin' now
ol' jim crow
comin' from all of them parties
Wef, wof
he's a sharp dressed fella'
with a tight grip on the globe
has all the connections
to keep the high high
keep the low down low
keep the high high
keep the low down low
when i'm out there on the road
those traffic laws i do uphold
i don't need to be pulled over
by a big dick cop with a billy club boner
behind a badge and a loaded weapon
over time i've learned this lesson
though there are two halves of me
there's only one half they will see
though there are two halves of me
to a racist cop out on the beat
another black bitch is all i be
to a racist cop out on the beat
another black bitch is all i be
but, i be
yes, i be
