Long Arm Of The Law
Looptroop Lyrics

Yo, when the long arm of the law Is grabbing you, backstabbing you Policecars passing you, on dark avenues Mag lights flashing you, pigs harassing you Breaking you down, smashing you (smashing you)
When cops come after you, they'll do whatever it takes to catch you, harass you, intimidate you, and arrest you. You'll feel cornered, helpless, and powerless before the power of the state.

On the concrete, you find out you can't compete With the number one thief on the street I tried to tell you that back, on the biggest hustle track It's OK to sell crack, if the cops got your back And they certainly will, if they're on your payoff They know that if they fuck around, they're getting laid off and since to cops, just like the average citizen, a clean conscience compared to a steady income, that's nonsense That's why I stay getting busted for bullshit charges More than one time, one time, came around This fuck went down
When you're on the street hustling, you're competing with other crooks, but also with the police who are there to arrest you, or exploit you if they're on your payroll. They care more about their paycheck than their reputation or integrity. They'll bust you for petty crimes to meet police quotas and earn bonuses, even if you're not guilty. They'll keep coming after you to catch you, despite their corrupt methods.

Now we're getting fucked by the long dick of the law Inflict social diseases cause they use no protection Judge slam the hammer, D.A. got an erection Wouldn't even give me a public defender For such a small case, not paying on the trains Still they want to four thousand crownors, from my bank account I thought that was a too big amount But the judge didn't had no sympathy on me All on his mind, a conviction or are fine, like Junior Reeves But I wasn't fighting -No war (no waaar) Still they want to send a mailman with a ticket to mi door -ah to mi doooor I was only trying to make a wholecar -A wholecar The Bigfoot beast want to arrest dej, and put you behind bars -In just a blur, in just a blur
When you get caught by the police, they'll treat you like a criminal, not a human. They'll punish you severely, even for a minor offense, and deny you a fair trial. They'll fine you exorbitantly for trivial things and not care about your financial situation, your rights or your dignity. They'll treat you as a nuisance, not a member of society, and try to put you behind bars for as long as possible, even if you're not a threat to anyone. They'll use every trick in the book, and every excuse at their disposal, to justify their actions, and avoid accountability.

Asking you "what", "why", "when" And "Where at were you?" "And with whom", so you is innocent till proved (yea,yea) They're in the wrong mood, you're in the wrong goove Or you might look kinnda rude, eatherways you're getting screwed Told what not to do, how to improve the system By not making moves, not questioning rules Not being concerned with, who's getting beat and bruised Who's being abused, well well I got news for those who belive the police doing their work right My man from back home, killed this kid in a fight Had to do social-work, he got arrested a few times But never had to do time, never paid no fines This other cat, he goes trace, with official failance Which equals, he lost some money for the government They couldn't prove his guilt, as he stood in silence But since that crime was economical They bet every law and paragraph, they could find to lock him up Now what does that teach us? -They don't give a fuck If you hurt flesh and blood that don't cross nothing But you'll get like twelve months for material destruction Yo, that's disgusting
When the police interrogate you, they'll try to trip you up, trap you, and make you look guilty, even if you're not. They'll use every trick in the book to make you confess to a crime you didn't commit or admit to something you didn't do. They'll also tell you how to behave, what to say or not to say, and how to improve the system by not questioning its authority or legitimacy. They don't care about justice, fairness or humanity, but about enforcing the law and punishing those who cross the line. They'll selectively apply the law to some, but not to others, depending on their socioeconomic status, race, gender or sexual orientation. They'll also manipulate the law and its loopholes to incriminate people for nonviolent crimes and fiscal misdemeanors, while letting murderers and rapists go free. They're not interested in protecting life, liberty, or property, but in preserving their power and status quo.

It's like this, I'm opressed by the whole system That's why I diss 'em, no fake ass-kissing Yo listen, recently I had to pay a visit To Malmoe courthouse, two-thousand crowns if I miss this, so skip it I went down there to be confronted I denied the whole scenario, said I couldn't have done it 9:30 in the morning, met my lawyer he said it looks kinnda bad, they got witnesses and all that FUCK THAT I still fill like I am innocent You think I wrote BIF on McD without a reason? (whoa?) Yo, I'm stuck, it's like David versus Goliath A lonely man, versus the corruption of alliance Don't expect silence though, I make noise till ya ears bleed And make you all scrap paint until I stop breath Belive me, I know the time when it's on Cosmic, lyricly I rock in Babylon -But yo 'cause, what happened at that trial incident? You know the same old song They find my story insufficient, mistreated, defeated and mentally harassed An outcast, who's down for punishment at last Yo, ya, wa, check Gouvernment taxing you, turning backs on you If you got the wrong sex, and the wrong accent too The wrong attitude, living on the wrong latitude Still they want your ass to show gratitude
When you experience oppression from the system, you'll feel like an outsider, a rebel, and a victim of injustice. You'll use your art, your voice, and your creativity to express your pain, your anger, and your protest against the system. You'll speak truth to power, even if it costs you your freedom and your reputation. You'll fight for your innocence, your dignity, and your integrity, even if the odds are against you and the courts are rigged. You'll also stand up for others who are victimized by the system, who are marginalized, marginalized, and silenced. You'll speak out for social justice, equality, and human rights, even if the government tries to tax you, silence you, or discriminate against you based on your gender, ethnicity, or beliefs. You'll resist conformity, apathy, and complicity, and demand accountability, transparency, and empathy from the state.

So when the long arm of the law try to get it's grip Pull your middle finger and split (yo, split)
When you feel the long arm of the law trying to catch you and control you, you'll resist, rebel, and refuse to comply with its demands. You'll show your defiance, your anger, and your contempt for the system. You'll refuse to be a victim of the state, and stand up for your autonomy, your independence, and your dignity. You'll also encourage others to do the same, to resist the oppression of the state, and fight for their rights, their freedom, and their humanity.
