Got Pulled Over

from War Against War II by Nyentek

lyrics

I’ve been pulled over twice
Once for speeding, once my headlights
Both times cops were nice
I had my computer out on
My front seat but wasn’t looking at it
They were very nice
I can say that ‘cause I’m white and
Both white cops were nice

How’s it fair that some are treated
As if there’s no way that they could
Afford what they’re driving on the streets?

Twice I met the cops
Both times they let me stay in my car
“License and registration”
“Where you going in such a hurry?”
"Oh, that's not so bad."
"I won't give you points this time."
Never once was I suspected
Of having drugs or guns hidden,
Believed when I said my new registration
Was in the mail
Never asked to leave my car
Never asked to turn around
Put my hands up or get on the ground
How many people deal with that daily?

How’s it fair that some are treated
As if there’s no way that they could
Afford what they’re driving on the streets?

How’s it fair that some are treated
As if there’s no way that they could
Afford what they’re driving on the streets?
How’s it fair that some are treated
As if there’s no way that they could
Afford what they’re driving on the streets?
