Fault The Police
SubNoize Souljaz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Freedom is a state of mind,
A mind is a state of being,
Stay the fuck outta my mind and my being.

I don't fault the police
'Cause the people that run um got um on a short leash
'Cause the people that run um got um on a short leash
'Cause the people that run um got um on a short leash
I don't fault the police
Cause the people that run um divide and disease

I don't cry when the police die cause they probably deserved it,
Run around with a badge and a gun
And they god damn fuck with everyone.
Enforce rules made by fools,
Violence and fear there tools
They dress to impress with there laws they arrest
And they leave us powerless

I don't fault the police
'Cause the people that run um got um on a short leash
'Cause the people that run um got um on a short leash
'Cause the people that run um got um on a short leash
I don't fault the police
Cause the people that run um divide and disease

We have created a reality based on fear where a terrorist a gangster or a police can take away you're freedom or your sense of security at any time.

I don't cry when a Gangster dies cause he probably deserved it,
They run around with a bag and a gun
And they god damn fuck with everyone,
Enforce rules made by fools
Violence and fear there tools
They dress to impress thinkin' fear is respect
And they leave us powerless.

I don't fault the police
'Cause the people that run um got um on a short leash
'Cause the people that run um got um on a short leash
'Cause the people that run um got um on a short leash
I don't fault the police
Cause the people that run um divide and disease

A society that incarnates there own population for any minor infraction where there is 100's upon 1000's of pages and pages of laws and reason for the district attorney and the local jurisdiction and the justice system to put its entire force to removing an individual from his family connection and make him separate from the tribal earth.

I don't cry when a terrorist dies cause he probably deserved it,
Run around with a bomb and a gun,
And they god damn fuck with every one.
Enforce rules made by fools,
Violence and fear there tools.
Bombs fall from the sky
And a mom as she cries as she watches her baby die.

I don't fault the police
'Cause the people that run um got um on a short leash
'Cause the people that run um got um on a short leash
'Cause the people that run um got um on a short leash
I don't fault the police
Cause the people that run um divide and disease

I don't fault the police
I don't fault the police
I don't fault the police
Cause the people that run um got um on a short leash




I don't fault the police
Cause the people that run um divide and disease

Overall Meaning

The song Fault The Police by SubNoize Souljaz opens with the idea that freedom is a state of mind and a mind is a state of being. It then goes on to say, "Stay the fuck outta my mind and my being," essentially telling society to stay out of people's minds and personal lives. The song then delves into the idea that the police are not necessarily at fault, but rather the people who run them are the ones with too much power and control. These people are referred to as having "um on a short leash" and "divide and disease." The song then shifts to talk about gangsters and terrorists who also have a negative impact on society, enforcing rules made by fools and causing violence and fear.


This song appears to be a critique of the power structures that exist in society, where those in control use their power to oppress and divide the people. The police, while often seen as the enforcers of these power structures, are not necessarily at fault themselves. It is the people who control and manipulate them who are truly responsible. The song also comments on the fear-based society that has been created, where people's freedom and sense of security can be taken away at any time. It seems to be urging listeners to question and resist these power structures and to fight for true freedom and equality.
