Boogie Down Productions

Boogie Down Productions was a hip hop group that was originally composed of KRS-One, D-Nice, and DJ Scott La Rock. DJ Scott La Rock was murdered on August 27, 1987, months after the release of BDP's debut album, Criminal Minded. The name of the group, Boogie Down, derives from a nickname for the South Bronx section of The Bronx, one of the five boroughs of New York City. The group pioneered the fusion of dancehall reggae and hip hop music and their debut LP Criminal Minded contained frank descriptions of life in the South Bronx of the late 1980s thus setting the stage for what would eventually become gangsta rap. more »

When they arrest a 
Black man they need thirty cops or more well now 
When they arrest a 
Black man they need thirty cops or more well now hey 

If you a black herb smuggler 
They will watch you by the hour 
It only means that if you have more money 
Then you have more power 
They will come in the night 
And they will read you your rights 
There is no need to fight 
If you're black there is no need to fight 

But when them come to arrest a 
Black man, they need thirty cops or more well now 
When they arrest a 
Black man, they need thirty cops or more well now hey 

Years ago a black man couldn't be a cop 
They could only be great dancers 
When the whole police department was white 
Justice, was the Black Panthers 
We've been robbed of our religion 
Our government and social position 
And you won't see no quick solution 
Until you see the black revolution 

But when them come to arrest a 
Black man, they need thirty cops or more well now 
When they arrest a 
Black man, they need thirty cops or more well now hey 

"He's gonna get across the border before we can catch him" 
"Just let me draw a bead on his black ass and he's dead" 

They arrest us by the hour 
'Cause the black man in the ghetto has power 
If he would wake up and unite 
The police department would lose the fight 

But when them come to arrest a 
Black man, they need thirty cops or more well now 
When they arrest a 
Black man, they need thirty cops or more well now hey 

If you a black herb smuggler 
They will, watch you by the hour 
It only means that if you have more money 
Then you have more power 
They will come in the night 
And they will read you your rights 
There is no need to fight 
If you're black there is no need to fight 

But when them come to arrest a 
Black man, they need thirty cops or more, well now 
When they arrest a 
Black man, they need thirty cops or more, well now hey 

"He's gonna get across the border before we can catch him" 

"Just let me draw a bead on his black ass and he's dead" 
"He's gonna make it" 
"Let the dogs go!" 
"No I won't do it!" 
"He's got full, they've only got two" 
"They'll tear him apart, I won't do it" 
"Let the dogs go!" 
"Turn loose those dogs!"
