Fuck tha Police (5:45)

Cover of Straight Outta Compton

From Straight Outta Compton and 10 other releases

“Fuck tha Police” is a protest song by the gangsta rap group N.W.A on the album Straight Outta Compton. Despite not being a single, it ranked #417 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
Fuck tha Police is a mock court scene, in which the “Police Department” is put on trial, with Ice Cube, MC Ren, and Eazy-E playing the role of the prosecution. Judge “Dre” is presiding and the trial is described as being “N.W.A versus the police department”. Rapped “testimonies” expressing anger at racism and police brutality in abrasive, violent language are delivered by Ice Cube, MC Ren, and Eazy-E; the following are examples of some of the most extreme lyrics in the song:

Ice Cube:

“Fuck tha police comin straight from the underground
A young nigga got it bad ‘cause I’m brown
I’m not the other color so police think
They have the authority to kill a minority”

MC Ren:

“To the police I’m sayin fuck you punk
Readin my rights and shit, it’s all junk
Pullin out a silly club, so you stand
With a fake assed badge and a gun in your hand
But take off the gun so you can see what’s up
And we’ll go at it punk, and I’ma fuck you up”

Eazy-E:

“Without a gun and a badge, what do you got
A sucker in a uniform waiting to get shot
By me, or another nigga
And with a gat it don’t matter if he’s smaller or bigger.”
