010 Drug busters, you better beware
011 And don't turn your head as if you don't care
012 (Because they got it) they got it, they say they got you
013 Right in their hands and they don't need no clue
014 They say they're sick and tired of snatchin down bars
015 Cause on the tow trucks it's makin it hard
016 And by the time they get in-to your pad
017 You done flushed it down the toilet and now they're mad
018 And so they're mad as hell and take you to jail
019 But you're out the next minute cause you post bail
020 Then on the very next day you say, "What the heck?"
021 You get a letter in the mail and it's a D.A. reject
022 And you're jumpin up and down cause it ain't no case
023 And to the police that is a waste
024 But yeah rockman, you'll see it soon
025 And you won't hear a snatch, you'll hear a boom

036 [ VERSE 2: Toddy Tee ]
037 (You were so high) that night when your eyes was tight
038 And you didn't even notice the Batterram lights
039 (So gone) so gone that when they said it was there
040 You just shook your head and said, "I don't care"
041 (Based out) based out without no doubt
042 That when they said "give up" you cussed em out
043 And when your dopebustin friends drove up in their car
044 You stood out your chest and started actin hard
045 You took off your Fila shirt and your Reebok shoes
046 And had the nerve to call the police a bunch of fools
047 You called em pigs (sissies) and even punks
048 While the Batterram battery needed a jump
049 And by the time it got started you fell to the floor
050 And that's when the cops said they can't take no more
051 And you were so damn high, my little friend
052 That you didn't know your living room was in your den

064 Well, I would sit at home about to eat dinner
065 Had a hard time at work and my day was gettin thinner
066 My kids was in the room watchin Mighty Mouse
067 And my wife was gettin ready to leave the house
068 But as she opened the door she seen a flare
069 It was a undercover cop, he was standin there
070 So she hollered back to me, "Honey, come and see
071 Just who this strange man could be"
072 But when I went to the door I thought it was a dud
073 Cause he kept asking me to sell him drugs
074 I said, "Listen homeboy, what you talkin about?
075 You're mistakin my pad for a rockhouse
076 Well, I know to you we all look the same
077 But I'm not the one slingin caine
078 I work nine to five and ain't a damn thing changed
079 And I don't have time for the hustler's game"

091 Mayor of the city, what you're tryin to do?
092 They say they voted you in in '82
093 (But on the next term) huh, without no doubt
094 They say they gon' vote your jack ass out
095 Because you musta been crazy or half-way wack
096 (To legalize somethin that works like that)
097 And the Chief of Police says he just might
098 (Flatten out every house he sees on sight)
099 Because he say the rockman is takin him for a fool
100 And for some damn reason it just ain't cool
101 And when he drives down the street, I tell you the truth
102 He gets no respect, they call his force F Troop
103 He can't stand it, he can't take no more
104 And now he's gonna have you all fall into the floor
