Black And Blue

Brand Nubian

[Sadat X]



Cool-ass Al, he got a badge from the neighborhood yo



Fly police car, the ninety-two mod-el.. now check it out



Now Al used to rob, used to smoke, used to steal



and he rolled a mean game of dice



A factor boostin he was nice as he proved on the daily tip



at Macy's, he and this kid up in Lacy's



Throw his head to blow when he turned into a Fed



I seen him, one day, I tried to get inside his head



There's two fit ill, glock cops, with passion



Black shoes fit, like they was made, from ashes



Another brother, a sister or somebody's pops



And when I see Al, he never stops



unless it's to make an arrest



He can't kick it, unless he writes a ticket



He got a nasty way, attitude everyday



It makes me kinda mad cause I really can't hit him



But brothers scheamin to get him



(Shoot 'im inna de busta bumba claat)



At any level the worst devil is a black one



And if you see one you gots to attack 'um



One day, I had the cell lit, up on Lewis Park



Cool Al appears, backs up, fresh Clarks



It's a hot day black, and the sun's beamin down



but I gotta get on the ground?



You're, sworn to whitey, do you think that you're mighty?



You take the honor of bein the black Bull Carter



It's a shame cause use done out your righteous name



for a little rank and more fame



You're whole style is chump, you forgot to use the pump



so instead of warnin brothers, better hide and take the picture



You know the brothers wanna hit ya



("Gimme a gat I'm bout to smoke this motherfucker!")



So carry your gun, especially off duty



Don't forget that there's a price on the booty



Hidin upstate won't make you safe



By the way, are you of Christian faith?
