[Intro]
Man, security's beefed up
I can't even go anywhere without them judging me
Looking through my bag, patting me down, watching me all the time
It's a nightmare...
Best way to describe it
[Chorus]
For your safety, we up the presence of the police
Because at any moment they could bomb your streets
Your stadiums and your special events
To protect the money that you have spent
For your safety, we up the presence of the police
Because at any moment they could bomb your streets
Your stadiums and your special events
To protect the money that you have spent
[Verse 1]
Everywhere I go I see the police
Because of something that happened recently
They're patting me down, frisking me over
Treating everybody like a disgruntled soldier
Black, White, Brown, it doesn't matter
If you look suspicious you get all the chatter
Despite the fact you paid fifth-nine-fifty-five
For the ticket but that doesn't eliminate the jive
You can't immerse yourself in the action
Because the police are looking for your reaction
Double checking for something they missed
Like some hidden explosives or maybe a switch
The odds of this happening are highly unlikely
But with the money at stake, they don't tread lightly
Extra precautions they have to take
Despite every bomb threat being fake
[Chorus]
For your safety, we up the presence of the police
Because at any moment they could bomb your streets
Your stadiums and your special events
To protect the money that you have spent
For your safety, we up the presence of the police
Because at any moment they could bomb your streets
Your stadiums and your special events
To protect the money that you have spent]
[Verse 2]
Common sense is a thing that exists
But they don't notice until things happen quick
They never enforced the no-mask rule before
But ever since Colorado, they let everybody know
They've known how they operated for years
But they don't enforce anything to stop the tears
All they do is instill a lot of protection
That'll teach people to learn their lesson
But hold up, wait... what's the chance
That a person could actively act on their rants
One in a million yet they act like everyone...
Could potentially k** people with any type of gun
Same things happen because of this
Cause people can understand the logistics
Of a country gone totally wrong...
Why does terrorism have to be their only song?
[Chorus]
For your safety, we up the presence of the police
Because at any moment they could bomb your streets
Your stadiums and your special events
To protect the money that you have spent
For your safety, we up the presence of the police
Because at any moment they could bomb your streets
Your stadiums and your special events
To protect the money that you have spent
[Verse 3]
I can't even walk around anymore
Without a police officer greeting me at my door
Saying that they've got a police report
From someone who's very much a worry wort
They invite me into my home, sit me down
Asking me questions of why I'm leaving town
Why I look left and right and why I speak nervously
The answer, it's because you're in my house, now leave
They never leave, they keep on asking me questions
Because I'm the victim of a police inspection
And I want to sue them for obvious hara**ment
But they're protected by a constitutional amendment
Whenever bombs goes off or some towers collapse
This is exactly how the police act
Fear exists in all of us
So why don't you just stop with the tough talk and stop with the fuss
