Rick James - Mr. Policeman(2002)

Hey Mr. Policeman
I've seen you in my neighbourhood
You look to me up to no good
I've seen you with your gun in your hand
Hey Mr. Policeman
I saw you shoot my good friend down
He was just havin' fun
Checkin' out a one and one
It's a shame its a disgrace
Why every time you show your face
Somebody dies man
Somebody dies
Hey Mr. Policeman
Why don't you leave the boys alone
Why don't you just roll your own
Because all your hearts are made of stone
Hey Mr. Policeman
I see you walkin' on your beat
Searchin' strangers on the street
Sampling the hookers treats
Yeah
It's a shame such a disgrace
Everytime you show your face
Somebody Somebody Somebody
Somebody dies yeah yeah yeah
