歌曲影响
Fuck tha Police这首歌的歌词有着强烈的N.W.A的烙印,并且从Straight Outta Compton中的众多歌曲中脱颖而出。它突出了城市中的黑人青年与警察【在几年后因1992 Los Angeles riots(1992洛杉矶暴动)和Rodney King incident(罗德尼·金事故)达到高峰】的冲突。并且歌曲中还断言黑人警察背叛了他们与警察的战斗:
不要让他称为一个黑的或白的,因为他们会把你们撞飞到街顶,黑人警察体现了这是为了白人警察
( But don't let it be a black and a white one Cause thay'll slam ya down to tha street top Black police showing out for tha white cop)
美国联邦调查局)和tha U.S. Secret Service(美国特工局)联名写了一封信给Eazy-E的Ruthless,表达他们对歌曲的不愉快,并且禁止N.W.A在许多地方演出。
这首歌也因Bone Thugs-N-Harmony的翻唱而普及,同时也受到摇滚乐队Dope,Soulfly和Rage Against tha Machine的喜爱。这首歌曲还被选入了N.W.A的精选专辑:N.W.A's Greatest Hits。
1989年,澳大利亚的广播电台Triple J在ABC(澳大利亚广播电台公司,Australian Broadcasting Corporation)注意到他们之前,整整播放了Fuck tha Police长达6个月的时间,不过后来就被勒令停播了。作为对此举的回应,Triple J电台24小时播放了N.W.A的Express Yourself,大概在1天内就播了360多次。
1996年时,在塞尔维亚的贝尔格莱德发生了大型的街头抗议N.W.A的Fuck tha Police和Public Enemy的Fight tha Power被贝尔格莱德的电台B92连续播放了2天。
歌词
[Dr.Dre]
Right about now, NWA court is in full effect.
Judge Dre presiding in tha case of NWA versus tha police department.
Prosecuting attorneys are MC Ren, Ice Cube, and Eazy mothar fucking E.
Order, order, order. Ice Cube, take tha mothar fucking stand.
Do you swear to tell tha truth, tha whole truth
And nothing but tha truth so help your black ass?
[Ice Cube]
You're goddamn right!
[Dr.Dre]
Why don't you tell everybody what tha fuck you gotta say?
[Ice Cube]
Fuck tha police
Comin’ straight from tha underground
Young nigga got it bad cause I'm brown
And not tha othar color so police think
thay have tha authority to kill a minority
Fuck that shit, cause I ain't tha one
For a punk mothar fucker with a badge and a gun
To be beatin’ on, and throw in jail
We could go toe to toe in tha middle of a cell
Fuckin with me cause I'm a teenager
With a little bit of gold and a pager
Searching my car, looking for tha product
Thinking every nigga is selling narcotics
You'd rathar see me in tha pen
than me and Lorenzo rolling in tha Benzo
Beat tha police outta shape
And when I'm finished, bring tha yellow tape
To tape off tha scene of tha slaughter
Still can't swallow bread and water
I don't know if thay fags or what
Search a nigga down and grabbing his nuts
And on tha othar hand, without a gun thay can't get none
But don't let it be a black and a white one
Cause thay slam ya down to tha street top
Black police showing out for tha white cop
Ice Cube will swarm
On any mothar fucker in a blue uniform
Just cause I'm from tha CPT, punk police are afraid of me
A young nigga on a war path
And when I'm finished, it's gonna be a bloodbath
Of cops, dying in LA
Yo Dre, I got something to say
[Eazy-E]
Fuck tha police (4X)
[Dr.Dre]
Example of scene one:
Pull your goddamn ass over right now
[MC Ren]
Ah shit, what tha fuck you pulling me over for?
[Dr.Dre]
Cause I feel like it, Just sit your ass on tha curb and shut tha fuck up
[MC Ren]
Man, fuck this shit
[Dr.Dre]
Alright smartass, I'm taking your black ass to jail
M. C. Ren, will you please give your testimony to tha jury about this fucked up
Incident.
[MC Ren]
Fuck tha police and Ren said it with authority
Because tha niggaz on tha street is a majority.
A gang, is with whoever I'm stepping
And tha mothar fucking weapon
Is kept in a stash box, for tha so-called law
Wishing Ren was a nigga that thay never saw
Lights start flashing behind me
But thay're scared of a nigga so thay mace me to blind me
But that shit don't work, I just laugh
Because it gives em a hint not to step in my path
To tha police I'm saying fuck you punk
Reading my rights and shit, it's all junk
Pulling out a silly club, so you stand
With a fake assed badge and a gun in your hand
But take off tha gun so you can see what's up
And we'll go at it punk, I'ma fuck you up
Make ya think I'm a kick your ass
But drop your gat, and Ren's gonna blast
I'm sneaky as fuck when it comes to crime
But I'm a smoke em now, and not next time
Smoke any mothar fucker that sweats me
Or any ass hole that threatens me
I'm a sniper with a hell of a scope
Takin out a cop or two, thay can't cope with me
tha mothar fucking villain that's mad
With potential to get bad as fuck
So I'm a turn it around
Put in my clip, yo, and this is tha sound [Bang, Bang]
Ya, something like that, but it all depends on tha size of tha gat
Taking out a police would make my day
But a nigga like Ren don't give a fuck to say
[Eazy-E]
Fuck tha police (4X)
[Eazy-E]
Yo, man, what you need?
[Dr.Dre]
Police, open now. We have a warrant for Eazy-E's arrest
Get down and put your hands up where I can see em
Just shut tha fuck up and get your muthafuckin ass on tha floor [Huh]
Yo Eazy-E, why don't you step up to tha stand
And tell tha jury how you feel about this bullshit
[Eazy-E]
I'm tired of tha mothar fucking jacking
Sweating my gang while I'm chilling in tha shacking
Shining tha light in my face, and for what
Maybe it's because I kick so much butt
I kick ass, or maybe cause I blast
On a stupid assed nigga when I'm playing with tha trigger
Of any Uzi or an AK Cause tha police always got something stupid to say
thay put up my picture with silence
Cause my identity by itself causes violence
tha E with tha criminal behavior
Yeah, I'm a gangsta, but still I got flavor
Without a gun and a badge, what do ya got?
A sucker in a uniform waiting to get shot,
By me, or anothar nigga.
And with a gat it don't matter if he's smarter or bigger
[MC Ren: Size don't mean shit, he's from tha old school, fool]
And as you all know, E's here to rule
Whenever I'm rolling, keep looking in tha mirror
And thare's no cue, yo, so I can hear a
Dumb mothar fucker with a gun
And if I'm rolling off tha 8, he'll be tha one
That I take out, and than get away
And while I'm driving off laughing
This is what I'll say
[Eazy-E]
Fuck tha police (4X)
[Dr.Dre]
tha verdict
tha jury has found you guilty of being a redneck,
White bread, chicken shit mothar fucker
Wait, that's a lie. That's a goddamn lie
I want justice! I want justice!
Fuck you, you black mothar fucker
[Eazy-E]
Fuck tha police (3X)
