Tanika - Officer lyrics

[Verse 1: Tanika] This society, I'm young, I'm lost finding me oh Stereotyping me and you I ain't got to be blind to see My time is far too deep It's supposed to change while I achieve But my pride is shallow So I drown in all that I believe [Bridge] Another one down, another one down They think, we'll make some noise And they won't come back ‘round I'm hearing voices and they're screaming loud They want us falling, while they run the town [Chorus] You scared them too deep Mr. Officer You scared them too deep Can I walk on the streets Without you judging me You're supposed to please, protect me You scared them too deep Mr. Officer You scared them too deep Can I walk on the streets Without you judging me You're supposed to please, protect me Protect me [Verse 2] This society It's hard to say this land is free We pay the price to live in broke and dark communities We get high because we're lower [?], so If you shoot me down, I'm just apart of your duty [Bridge] Another one down, another one down They think, we'll make some noise And they won't come back ‘round I'm hearing voices and they're screaming loud They want us falling, while they run the town [Chorus] You scared them too deep Mr. Officer You scared them too deep Can I walk on the streets Without you judging me You're supposed to please, protect me You scared them too deep Mr. Officer You scared them too deep Can I walk on the streets Without you judging me You're supposed to please, protect me Protect me [Outro] “Who do you hold responsible?” “The police. Definitely the police.”
