One afternoon around eleven o'clock
It was freezin' cold, he was standing on the block
Sellin' cheeba, nick's and dimes
Sayin' a rhyme just to pass the time

The cops passed by, but he stayed calm
'cause the leather trench coat was keepin' him warm
But this time they walked by real slowly
He thought to himself, "they look like they know me"

They drove away, but he didn't stay
He jumped in the cab and he paid his tab
But guess who he saw when he hit the block
It was the same cop car, the same two cops

They jumped out quick, they pulled a gun
They said, "don't try to fight and don't try to run
Cooperate and we will be your friend
Non-cooperation will be your end"

He jumped in the car and while they rode
They ran down the list of things he owed
They said, "you owe us some money
You owe us some product
'cause you could be right in the river tied up"

He thought for a second and he said, "what is this?
You want me to pay you to stay in business?"
They said, "that's right, or you go to prison

The community, doesn't want him back
He sells at work, he sells in schools
He's not stupid, the cops are the fools

'cause everyone else seems to go to jail
But when it comes to jack, the cops just fail
They can't arrest him, they cannot stop him
'cause even in jail the bail unlocks him

So here is the deal and here is the facts
If you ever wonder why they can't stop crack
The police department is like a crew
It does whatever they want to do

In society you have illegal and legal
We need both to make things equal
So legal is tobacco, illegal is speed
Legal is aspirin, illegal is weed
Crack is illegal 'cause they cannot stop ya
But cocaine is legal if it's owned by a doctor

Everything you do in private is illegal
Everything's legal if the government can see you
Don't get me wrong, america is great place to live
But listen to the knowledge i give
