Probable Cause
Brand Nubian

Uhh, yeah, then they say

Probable cause, probable cause

(Uh huh, yeah)

You don't have to break no laws

They say probable cause

(Probable cause)


Probable cause, probable cause

(Yeah)

You don't have to break no laws

They say probable cause

(Word)


Now who's this nigga in the 4.6?

About twenty to five, got a truck full of chicks

Just leavin' the disco, me and my man from the Knicks

Oak Dog, later on because they live in the Bricks

Jumped on the George Washington and Now Jeru' turnpike

Head feelin' right from a long-ass night

Whoa, I see Jake, so I let off the gas

So I was doin' fifty-five when I passed his ass


I looked over, caught the shine from the rim of the Rover

You know his next move, pull it over

I pulls over to the right-hand shoulder

Look through the rearview, he got his hand on his holster

He had this look, How this black nigga get this car?

You know these cracker state troopers don't know rap stars


He asked me for license and my registration

Seen my New York tags and he asked me my destination

I said, Vacation, handed him my registration

Papers were straight so I didn't wet the situation

Got my shit back, and that was that, but that wasn't that

'Cuz in fact, I got stopped two more times black


Probable cause, probable cause

(Uh huh, yeah)

You don't have to break no laws

They say probable cause

Probable cause, probable cause

(Uh)

You don't have to break no laws

They say probable cause


Probable cause, probable cause

(Yeah)

You don't have to break no laws

They say probable cause

(Say what)

Probable cause, probable cause

(Uh)

You don't have to break no laws

They say probable cause


It feel like my hands, stay tied

'Cuz New York state, and they child care rate

Miss Judge Lady in a courtroom can dictate

A fee for me, to pay monthly

Even suggested, that I be arrested, they don't count

The time invested or the bond beyond the money

They'll hit you with arrears, bad enough to bring tears

They been on my back for years, fuckin' with my license


And every time I'm stopped by Dick I see the booking

That making me violent in this wilderness land

Now can we talk for a minute? 'Cuz we both made this child

Can we leave support alone, please take me offa that file

'Cuz every time I see the court, my blood pressure rise

And the heart attack is a killer of black guys, I stay civilized

Maintain, sometime restrain myself

A court officer is near me, but I think he fear me, 'cuz it's


Probable cause, probable cause

(Uh huh)

You don't have to break no laws

They just say probable cause

Probable cause, probable cause

(Yeah)

You don't have to break no laws

They say probable cause

(Word up)



Probable cause, probable cause

You don't have to break no laws

They say probable cause

(True indeed God)

Probable cause, probable cause

(Yeah)

You don't have to break no laws

They say probable cause


Yo, on October 22nd we wore black

For all my niggaz Po-Po shot in the back

Robocops with the crack, they'll never get props

From the black folks, lock us up while they crack jokes

And stack notes when we payin' the bail

Knowin' damn well a nigga's gonna stay in the jail

It's all made for us to fail, the dog is smarter

Than the tail, but if the tail was smarter it would wag the dog


I can't wait 'til we bag the hogg

New York State of Mind doesn't mind, murderin' my kind

We even got our own converting across the line

He turned swine, guess his ass'll learn when he burn

They say, Protect and to serve and never give the people

The respect they deserve, as if they wasn't equal

These is man-made laws, selectively applied

All they need is probable cause for me to fry


Probable cause, probable cause

(Uh huh)

You don't have to break no laws

They just say probable cause

(Yeah yeah yeah)

Probable cause, probable cause

You don't have to break no laws

They say probable cause


Probable cause, probable cause

You don't have to break no laws

They say probable cause

(Uh huh)

Probable cause, probable cause

You don't have to break no laws

They say probable cause

(Yeah, yeah)


I ain't do shit, jakes lock a nigga with a weed clip

Couldn't believe it when he took me in

Threw me and my man up in the van, a seven hour stand

Ridin' around watchin' them arouse the black man

I had the Afghan, I just copped from the record shop

Took it up the block my usual spot, when I rolled the L

I never expected to go to jail, I wish they'd all go to hell


Now Guiliani wanna talk about the, Quality of life

Think he got the right to follow me at night

With no probable cause, other than my skin is black like yours

Now they got me in the beast, sittin' right in his jaws

Up in Central Booking, yo, people looking knowing that

I'm in the rap game, and I got trapped the same way they did

You know these motherfuckers don't play kid

A little smoke caught me for a three day bid 'cuz it's


Probable cause, probable cause

(Uh huh)

You don't have to break no laws

They just say probable cause

(Yeah yeah yeah)

Probable cause, probable cause

You don't have to break no laws

They say probable cause


Probable cause, probable cause

You don't have to break no laws

They say probable cause

(Uh huh)

Probable cause, probable cause

You don't have to break no laws

They say probable cause

(Yeah, yeah)
