Cop Killer
Ice-T Lyrics

I got my black shirt on.
I am dressed entirely in black.

I got my black gloves on.
I am wearing black gloves.

I got my ski mask on.
I am wearing a ski mask.

This shit's been too long.
I have been oppressed for too long.

I got my twelve gauge sawed off.
I have a deadly weapon.

I got my headlights turned off.
I am hiding in the dark.

I'm 'bout to bust some shots off.
I am about to fire my weapon.

I'm 'bout to dust some cops off.
I am about to kill police officers.

I'm a cop killer, better you than me.
I am a murderer of law enforcement officers; my life is more valuable than yours by my own standards.

Cop killer, fuck police brutality!
Killing police is a justified reaction to police brutality.

Cop killer, I know your family's grieving, (fuck 'em!)
I understand that my actions cause pain to the families of my victims, but I do not care.

Cop killer, but tonight we get even, ha ha.
Through my violent actions tonight, I believe justice will be served for past injustices.

I got my brain on hype.
I am in an agitated state of mind.

Tonight will be your night.
This is the night that my violent actions will take place.

I got this long-assed knife.
I am in possession of a long, sharp knife.

And your neck looks just right.
I plan on using this knife to inflict violence on someone's neck.

My adrenaline's pumpin'.
I am experiencing an increased heart rate and heightened physical arousal.

I got my stereo bumpin'.
I am listening to music loudly to further hype myself up.

I'm 'bout to kill me somethin'.
I am about to commit a violent act.

A pig stopped me for nuthin'!
An officer of the law unjustly stopped me.

Die, die, die pig, die!
I am hoping for the death of police officers with my violent actions.

Fuck the police!
I do not respect or value law enforcement.

Break it down.
Now it is time for the song to end.

Cop killer!
This is a reaffirmation that I am a murderer of law enforcement officials.

Cop killer! what do you want to be when you grow up?
This is a sarcastic and rhetorical question implying that becoming a cop killer is a desirable aspiration in life.

Cop killer! good choice.
This is a reinforcement of the sarcastic and twisted nature of the previous line.

I'm a muthafuckin' Cop killer!
This is another reaffirmation of my status as a murderer of police officers.
