Right from the start, On And On Records stands out for its authenticity and its innovative take on the music business. Hocus Pocus’ second LP 73 Touches is released by On And On in 2005 which brings a considerable amount of attention to the refreshing label. Soon catching up with the hype and without compromising its sharp and exclusive edge, the label releases Place 54, Hocus Pocus’ fourth album, in 2006. Rewarded by a Gold Record, the opus fast tracks the label out of the independent scene. From that point, On And On keeps asserting itself as a key player on the contemporary music scene, until reaching colossal success with C2C’s first full-length record Tetra, crediting the crew with four French Grammys and a double Platinium Record.
On And On has remained grounded and true to itself despite the huge amount of exposure gotten since 2006. Now fully operational without having to compromise, the label works on both major releases and artists’ development. Recent releases like Ledeunff and 20syl’s EPs, embody On And On’s ability to build an audience for singular and eclectic artists.
Cops
On and On Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I piss in your mouth
I am a cop, shut up
I shoot you in the face motherfucker
I piss in your mouth
I am a cop, shut up
You motherfucking shit
The lyrics to On and On's song "Cops" are confronting and controversial. The lines "I am a cop, shut up / I piss in your mouth / I shoot you in the face motherfucker / I piss in your mouth" suggest a level of abuse of power and violence that is deeply unsettling. These lyrics could be interpreted as commentary on the systemic issues present within law enforcement, with the artist shining a light on police brutality, corruption, and a disregard for civil liberties.
The repeated line "shut up" serves to reinforce the power dynamic between the police and the general public, suggesting that those who speak out will be met with violence and aggression. The reference to "piss in your mouth" is a particularly jarring image, implying a dehumanization and degradation of the victim - an indication of the level of disdain that some members of the police force might hold towards the people they are meant to protect and serve.

I am a cop, shut up
I hold authority over you, do not question or resist
I piss in your mouth
I humiliate and demean you, exhibiting my power and control
I shoot you in the face motherfucker
I use my weapon to violently and aggressively take out my anger on you
I am a cop, shut up
I reinforce my authority and remind you of your powerless position
I piss in your mouth
I continue to exert my dominance and further degrade you
I shoot you right on the spot
I take immediate and deadly action without hesitation
You motherfucking shit
I dehumanize and insult you, emphasizing your inferiority and my superiority
