Men In Blue (No Airplay) Lyrics

[Wyclef]

 Yo, the Brooklyn Bridge is going to collapse yo

 Yo, this is Wyclef Jean the Refugee Allstars up in here

 The CNN for the world

 Yo what's this I here about the police in Brooklyn?

 Turn this jam up yo

 Yo this is the type of jam that be getting No Airplay

 I want the whole world to hear this joint right here (apocalypse baby)

 Yo this is the type of jam that be getting No Airplay

 You asked for it buddy, here it comes...

 

 [Wyclef - Hook - 2x]

 One, two ; watch out for the man in blue

 Three, four; I keep it raw and hardcore

 Five, six; you're beating us with nightsticks

 Seven, eight; I'm forced to pack a thirty-eight

 Nine, ten; you put me in a pen 

 if I could do it all again, I'd probably bust your chin

 

 [Wyclef - Verse One]

 I'm from a land of black bats, alley rats and cats

 Scratch up my car, set me up for the carjack

 Under pressure, I've got a legal gat

 Two straps, a total of sixteen caps

 Say something positive? More positivity

 More positivity, more police brutality

 Thugs get angry, the violence increase

 You want peace, make Wyclef chief of police

 Riding through the hood it's the same old story

 It's either you play ball or you drug dealy-dealy

 Standing on the block when the spot gets hot

 Guaranteed to get set up, by a crooked cop

 So I'm sittin back, rhyming on instrumentals

 Anything I touch, it turns monumental

 Me and Jerry Wonder, we keep it credible for the streets

 At the same time we've gotta eat

 When we commercialize it's to enterprise

 We're guaranteed to sell a hundred mil before we die

 But Jerry is broke, that's the situation

 Nine-seven, it's like no more eviction

 No more war milk, no more government cheese

 Police keep on shooting at our bulletproof Bentleys

 

 [Pre-chorus]

 Yo this is the type of jam that be getting No Airplay

 The Brooklyn Bridge is about to collapse, apocalypse

 This the type of jam that be getting No Airplay

 The ghetto is fed up, we got the arms in the air

 

 [Hook - 1x]

 

 [Wyclef - Verse Two]

 

 Hey yo, back on Earth, the party's still at the Tunnel

 on the West side of the river, what man quiver

 Rats get fed to the alligator

 Gun blasts equivalent to the bombs in Pearl Harbor

 Rescue choppers, Brooklyn turned to Hiroshima

 I'm driving to Jersey to escape the terror

 I was on the highway pushing a black Viper

 A car pulls up, is he a jack or a sniper?

 A blue Range Rover, he says pull over

 I didn't know he was a DT undercover

 I screamed out my lungs, 'This is discrimination!

 What's the charge?' 

 He said, 'You just robbed a gas station'

 'Who me? Not me! It couldn't be, 

 I was at the Grammy's with L-Boogie, didn't you see me on TV?'

 'B.S.!, you're all in the same gang'

 He ran me off the road, like he was Roscoe Pe-col-trane

 I stayed calm, gave him a hell of a show

 Cause if it's ever time to go, all I gotta press is turbo

 Heard him on his walkie, road block on 280 West

 Things got serious, that's when I bust a left

 U-Turn, my tires burn, my concern, was the truck

 comin head-on collision waited a second, changed position

 Close one heh, I almost went up in a blaze

 Running from what appeared to be a masquerade

 You know the story, it's the same old math

 In Brooklyn, police put a plunger up a man's ass!

 

 [Pre-Chorus]

 This is the type of jam that be getting No Airplay

 The Brooklyn Bridge will collapse son!

 This is the type of kam that be getting No Airplay

 Police brutality needs to stop!!!

 

 [Hook]

 

 I'm out! 

 Wyclef Jean, CNN...CNN...CNN! (Where Brooklyn at?! Where Brooklyn at?)

 Can't forget Jersey though baby!

 Police brutality is all around the whole world,

 we really need to chill all of that out...
