Lyrics
Five Oh!
M. Lazistan
Out on the crowded street the sun beat down today. We groove to a different beat as the 5-0 makes its way.
How many more times will we be padded down, how many more times get thrown to the ground, cuz we stay up too late walk around our own and they got this quota that they needta meet? So...
Chorus
Ooh Ohh does it make you feel good? Ooh Oh does it make you good woah oh. Ooh oh does it make you feel good, so good? Ooh oh flash your badge like a good little piggy should.
Man come walkin out of his home. He goes to show ID, they thought it was a gun, 51 shots, 51 shots, 51, 51, 51 shots. Go! 51 shots they used deadly force learned from 60 college credits and an obstacle course. Oh!
Chorus
How many more times, how many more times, how many many many many many more times.
