Krs One Lyrics Sound Of Da Police ❲REAL ⟶❳

"Yo, listen up, let me share a tale, About the so-called protectors, that's off the scale, Sound of da police, they're on the move, But they're not here to help, they're here to prove"

By explicitly using the word "overseer," KRS draws a direct linear connection between the plantation drivers of the antebellum South and the police officers of modern urban America. He isn't just calling them names; he is contextualizing the power dynamic. The rhyme scheme—"overseer" and "policeman"—equates the two roles, stripping away the authority of the badge to reveal what he sees as the true function: containment and control of Black bodies. krs one lyrics sound of da police
