Fuck The Police
Ice Cube feat. N.W.A. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

"Right about now, N.W.A. court is in full effect
Judge Dre residing
In the case of N.W.A. vs. the Police Department
Prosecuting attorneys are MC Ren, Ice Cube
And Eazy motherfuckin' E"

"Order, order, order
Ice Cube, take the motherfuckin' stand
Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth
And nothin' but the truth so help your black ass?"

"You Goddamn right!"

"Won't you tell everybody what the fuck you gotta say?"

Fuck the police comin' straight from the underground
A young nigga got it bad 'cause I'm brown
And not the other color so police think
They have the authority to kill a minority
Fuck that shit, 'cause I ain't the one
For a punk motherfucker with a badge and a gun
To be beatin' on, and thrown in jail
We can go toe to toe in the middle of a cell
Fuckin' with me 'cause I'm a teenager
With a little bit of gold and a pager
Searchin' my car, lookin' for the product
Thinkin' every nigga is sellin' narcotics
You'd rather see, me in the pen
Than me and Lorenzo rollin' in a Benz-o
Beat a police out of shape
And when I'm finished, bring the yellow tape
To tape off the scene of the slaughter
Still gettin' swole off bread and water
I don't know if they fags or what
Search a nigga down, and grabbin' his nuts
And on the other hand, without a gun they can't get none
But don't let it be a black and a white one
'Cause they'll slam ya down to the street top
Black police showin' out for the white cop
Ice Cube will swarm
On any motherfucker in a blue uniform
Just 'cause I'm from the CPT
Punk police are afraid of me!
Huh, a young nigga on the warpath
And when I'm finished, it's gonna be a bloodbath
Of cops, dyin' in L.A.
Yo Dre, I got somethin' to say

Fuck the police (fuck, fuck)
Fuck the police (fuck, fuck)
Fuck the police (fuck, fuck)
Fuck the Police

"Example of scene one"

"Pull your Goddamn ass over right now"

"Aww shit, now what the fuck you pullin' me over for?"

"'Cause I feel like it!
Just sit your ass on the curb and shut the fuck up"

"Man, fuck this shit"

"Aight, smart ass, I'm takin' your black ass to jail!"

"MC Ren, will you please give your testimony
To the jury about this fucked up incident?"

Fuck the police and Ren said it with authority
Because the niggas on the street is a majority
A gang, is with whoever I'm steppin'
And a motherfuckin' weapon is kept in
A stash box, for the so-called law
Wishin' Ren was a nigga that they never saw
Lights start flashin' behind me
But they're scared of a nigga so they mace me to blind me
But that shit don't work, I just laugh
Because it gives 'em a hint, not to step in my path
For police, I'm sayin, "Fuck you, punk!"
Readin' my rights and shit, it's all junk
Pullin' out a silly club, so you stand
With a fake-ass badge and a gun in your hand
But take off the gun so you can see what's up
And we'll go at it, punk, and I'ma fuck you up
Make you think I'ma kick your ass
But drop your gat, and Ren's gonna blast
I'm sneaky as fuck when it comes to crime
But I'm a smoke 'em now and not next time
Smoke any motherfucker that sweats me
Or any asshole that threatens me
I'm a sniper with a hell of a scope
Takin' out a cop or two, they can't cope with me
The motherfuckin' villain that's mad
With potential to get bad as fuck
So I'ma turn it around
Put in my clip, yo, and this is the sound
Yeah, somethin' like that
But it all depends on the size of the gat
Takin' out a police would make my day
But a nigga like Ren don't give a fuck to say

Fuck the police (fuck, fuck)
Fuck the police (fuck, fuck)
Fuck the police (fuck, fuck)
Fuck the Police

"Yeah man, what you need?"

"Police, open up"

"Aww shit"

"We have a warrant for Eazy-E's arrest
Get down and put your hands up where I can see 'em"

"What the fuck did I do, man, what did I do?"

"Just shut the fuck up
And get your motherfuckin' ass on the floor"

"But I didn't do shit"

"Man, just shut the fuck up!"

"Eazy-E, won't you step up to the stand
And tell the jury how you feel about this bullshit?"

I'm tired of the motherfuckin' jackin'
Sweatin' my gang, while I'm chillin' in the shack, and
Shinin' the light in my face, and for what?
Maybe it's because I kick so much butt
I kick ass, or maybe 'cause I blast
On a stupid-assed nigga when I'm playin' with the trigger
Of an Uzi or an AK
'Cause the police always got somethin' stupid to say
They put out my picture with silence
'Cause my identity by itself causes violence
The E with the criminal behavior
Yeah, I'm a gangsta, but still I got flavor
Without a gun and a badge, what do ya got?
A sucker in a uniform waitin' to get shot
By me or another nigga
And with a gat it don't matter if he's smaller or bigger
(Size ain't shit, he's from the old school, fool)
And as you all know, E's here to rule
Whenever I'm rollin', keep lookin' in the mirror
And ears on cue, yo, so I can hear a
Dumb motherfucker with a gun
And if I'm rollin' off the 8, he'll be the one
That I take out, and then get away
While I'm drivin' off laughin', this is what I'll say

Fuck the police (fuck, fuck)
Fuck the police (fuck)
Fuck the police (fuck, fuck)
Fuck the Police

"The verdict
The jury has found you guilty of being a redneck
White bread, chicken shit motherfucker"

"But wait, that's a lie!
That's a god damn lie!"

"Get him out of here!"

"I want justice!"

"Get him the fuck out my face!"

"I want justice!"

"Out, right now!"

"Fuck you, you black motherfuckers!"

Fuck the police
Fuck the police
Fuck the police

Overall Meaning

The song "Fuck Tha Police" by Ice Cube feat. N.W.A. is a scathing critique of racism and police brutality in the United States. The lyrics talk about the harassment, racial profiling, and violent oppression faced by minorities, especially Black people, at the hands of the police. The song starts with a court scene, where the rappers are prosecuting the police department for their mistreatment. The song is, in essence, a statement of protest against systemic injustice and police brutality.


Ice Cube's verse is particularly powerful as he talks about how the police target young people of color, assuming they are involved in criminal activity. He highlights the ways in which the police abuse their power by physically assaulting, arresting, and withholding justice from innocent people. He calls out white police officers for using their power to discriminate against communities of color.


The song ends with Eazy-E talking about police brutality he's experienced as a young Black man. He describes how the police put his image on wanted posters, even though he wasn't guilty of any crime. He talks about the fear and frustration he feels towards police officers who treat him as a criminal simply because of his race.


Overall, "Fuck Tha Police" is a powerful song that highlights the unjust systems that people of color are subjected to at the hands of the police in the United States.
