Now who's this [bad word] in the 4.6?
About twenty to five, got a [bad word] full of chicks
Just leavin the disco, me and my man from the knicks
Oak dog, later on because they live in the bricks
Jumped on the george washington and now [bad word] #39; turnpike
Head feelin right from a long [bad word] night
Whoa, I see jake, so I let off the gas
So I was doin fifty-five when I passed his [bad word] 
I looked over, caught the shine from the rim of the rover
You know his next move (*police siren*) pull it over
I pulls over to the right-hand shoulder
Look through the rearview he got his hand on his holster
He had this look, "how this black [bad word] get this car? "
You know these cracker state troopers don't know rap stars
He asked me for license and my registration
Seen my new york tags and he asked me my destination
I said, "vacation," handed him my registration
Papers were straight so I didn't wet the situation
Got my [bad word] back, and that was that, but that wasn't that
Cause in fact, I got stopped two more times black

Probable cause (uh-huh) probable cause (yeah)
You don't have to break no laws
They say probable cause
Probable cause (uh) probable cause
You don't have to break no laws

Probable cause (yeah) probable cause
You don't have to break no laws
They say probable cause (say what)
Probable cause (uh) probable cause
You don't have to break no laws
They say probable cause

It feel like my hands, stay tied
Cause new york state, and they child care rate
Miss judge lady in a courtroom can dictate
fee for me, to pay monthly
Even suggested, that I be arrested, they don't count
The time invested or the bond beyond the money
They'll hit you with arrears, bad enough to bring tears
They been on my back for years, [bad word] with my license
And everytime I'm stopped by [bad word] I see the booking
That making me violent in this wilderness land
Now can we talk for a minute? cause we both made this child
Can we leave support alone, please take me offa that file
Cause everytime I see the court my blood pressure rise
And the heart attack is a killer of black guys, I stay civilized
Maintain, sometime restrain myself
court officer is near me, but I think he fear me, cause it's

[grand puba]
Probable cause (uh-huh) probable cause
You don't have to break no laws
They just say probable cause
Probable cause (yeah) probable cause
You don't have to break no laws
They say probable cause (word up)
Probable cause, probable cause
You don't have to break no laws
They say probable cause [bad word] indeed God)
Probable cause (yeah) probable cause
You don't have to break no laws
They say probable cause

Yo, on october 22nd we wore black
For all my niggaz po-po shot in the back
Robocops with the crack, they'll never get props
From the black folks, lock us up while they crack jokes
And stack notes, when we payin the bail
Knowin [bad word] well a [bad word] #39;s gonna stay in the jail
It's all made for us to fail, the dog is smarter
Than the tail, but if the tail was smarter it would wag the dog
I can't wait til we bag the hogg
New york state of mind doesn't mind, murderin my kind
We even got our own converting across the line
He turned swine, guess his [bad word] #39;ll learn when he burn
They say "protect and to serve" and never give the people
The respect they deserve, as if they wasn't equal
These is man-made laws, selectively applied
All
