Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]What you pullin' me over fo'
mistuh offi- suh?
I'll be askin' the questions Leroy.
My name ain't Leroy, man.
Heh, all right Jerome, outta the car.
Man, why I gotta be Jerome man? Why can't
I be Tommy or Philbert or something?
Just put your hands on
the hood [G]Muhammed

[Verse 2]
It's the [D]man that you love to [G]hate
[D]Coming outta Washington [G]state
[D]Cops don't like my profile
[G]'Ca[D]use Mixalot kicks much style
[G]So the man[D] is on my trail
[G]He wan[D]t to take Mix to jail
[G]If he doe[D]s, I'll make the bail
[G]'Cause I kno[D]w a lot of rich females
[G]I'm shak[D]in' 'em just like this
Keepin' that Porsche in fifth
King County cops don't quit
Even when a young brothers legit
So they follow me wherever I go
[G]I hear 'em on the rad[D]io
[G]With a scanner that I bou[D]ght
[G]from the sto'
'Cause a [D]brother like Mix gotta know
[G]I'm [D]checkin' them cops with radar
They don't believe I'm a rap star
[G]That my bra[D]in is up to par
An I'm ready when they follow my [G]car
I [D]know they want to spray me with mace
[G]'Cause my tru[D]nk keeps
pumpin' much bass
[G]But they be [D]st get outta my face
[G]'Cause one[D]- times got no case,
give it to me
[G]

[Verse 3]
[D]
[G]One- times got no [D]case[G][D]

[Verse 4]
The [D]police think I'm movin' them keys
[G]The[D]y trip cause I clock much D
[G]They pull a gat[D] an' they
yell out "Freeze!"
[G]I'm whi[D]ppin' out my I.D.
[G]My [D]gat sits under my seat
[G]The cop[D]s throw me out in the street
[G]They fou[D]nd my gun like thieves
[G]Officer [D]Friendly has got a new beat
[G]So I show him my [D]gun permit
[G]I told him I rol[D]l legit
[G]Give me a test to see if [D]I'm drinkin'
[G]They cla[D]im my breath was stinkin'
[G]They had me wal[D]k on the line
[G]I walked backwards s[D]topped on a d[G]ime
My female [D]just reclines
[G]'Cause she [D]knows I know the time
[G]I'm [D]hip to the cop procedure
[G]They get[D] ya every time they see ya
[G]The[D]y stop ya, they cuff ya
They roll ya an' they rough ya
They ask what I do for a livin'
[G]Should thi[D]s information be [G]givin'?
[D]This is what keeps me driven
[G]Some cop[D]s want a brother in prison
[G]So I got[D] me a few attorneys
[G]Jus[D]t in case a cop want to
burn me
They protect me from the state
[G]'Cause one[D]- time's got no case,
[G]break it on [D]down[G]
[D]One- times got[G] no case
[D][G]

[Verse 5]
[D]A cop asks me "What's my name,
and don't lie"
[G]And I'm ask[D]in' officer "Wh[G]y?
[D]Why ya want to mess with a
brother like [G]Mix
When you [D]know I'm livin' legit?"
[G]The cop[D] said "Don't get smart.
[G]I tear soul- bro[D]ther apart"
[G]I said "Well take off your gun[D],
if you want to get [G]done
An' I'll show you that I [D]ain't the one"
[G]The cop[D] rolled up his fist
[G]Puts the han[D]dcuffs on my wrists
[G]Then he thr[D]ew a straight jab and he missed
A [G]fe male cop [D]pulls up and she's pissed
[G]But thi[D]s cop had K- 9
A soul sister, yes she's fine
I said "Won't ya help
a brother outta bind?"
But that badge was going to her mind
So she stuck a billy club in my back
[G]She said "Don't think be
[D]cause you're black
That [G]I won't b[D]eat you", crack,
"hit you with the [G]gat"
Her partner [D]starts to [G]laugh[D]

[Verse 6]
Oooh, hit 'em again. [D]Hit 'em [D]again.

[Verse 7]
So they took [D]me on down
to the [G]jail
[D]P.L.B. came to pay my bail
[G]Then we cal[D]led Goldstein and Claire
[G]Them's my [D]lawyers
Walkin' up the stair[G]s
To the [D]courtroom dressed in suits
'Bout to give a couple cops the boot
So the female cop takes the stand
Took her [D]oath with the wrong damn hand
[D]My lawyers ate her up like catfish
[G]The oth[D]er cop pleads the fifth
She [G]lost her [D]job
I seen a few tears on her [G]face
[D]Sorry [G]baby,[D][G][D][Gm]
[D]
one- time's [G]got no case

[Outro 1]
[D][G][D]
