Fukk the Cops
DS-13 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Johnny 5.0 pulls up
Spread my legs, slam my head
Without a fukkin' reason
Fukk the cops, they are just fascist pigs
Fukk the cops, a good cop is a dead cop
Serve the fascist government
There laws are not for me
So go fukkin' shove it
Can't walk the street at night
Not because of vatogangs
But in fear of the blue thugs
I stay home and plan my revenge!
The lyrics to DS-13's song Fukk the Cops are a direct critique of police brutality and corruption. The singer describes a scenario in which they are walking down the street and are unjustly harassed by a police officer, or "Johnny 5.0." The violence that ensues - the police officer "spreading the singer's legs" and "slamming their head" - is a reflection of the militarization and abuse of power of the police force.
The chorus of the song drives home the anger and frustration with the police force. The lyrics "Fukk the cops, they are just fascist pigs" and "A good cop is a dead cop" highlight the deep-seated mistrust and hatred of law enforcement that has been brewing for centuries, particularly within communities of color.
The bridge of the song explicitly calls for violence against police officers, with the lyrics "Pigs in blue deserve to die" and "Serve the fascist government." The rage and sense of helplessness that the singer feels is palpable, as they declare that the laws enforced by the police force do not apply to them.
Overall, DS-13's Fukk the Cops is a raw, unfiltered commentary on the systemic racism and police brutality that have plagued the United States for generations.
