[Verse] It's cool to be tough wear a badge and walk tall Keep a gun on your hip come equipped to talk law Clip on the belt uniform the chalk long This asphalt canvas of blood from gun drawn If protect and serve means anything brawn Over brains not the weak son slain by the strong We got the default wrong it's not self defense If you're ever on the fence your keeping your piece gone Keeping the peace long after we're entitled Your goal is to smother the coal not ignite it So take one for the team in the rib cage I don't mean to be glib but you get paid To suffer some degree of abuse When there's no deadly force in his hand to let loose You can't bring a rocket launch to his noose Even if you get your eye socket split through None of us knows how we might react But none of us signed up to do that If you're wearing the uniform blue and gold shield Then you might get punched in the face keeping it real [Hook] x3 Either you're tough enough to talk real big To tap on my car top and to act real big Either you're tough enough take some kid In your face or maybe you're not that big
