As a youth...lyrics that I could listen to that were & TO THIS DAY STILL VERY INFLUENTIAL!! Both socially, consciously and unfortunately apart what takes place today.... Boogie Down Productions – Who Protects Us From You? Lyrics (Fy-ah! Come down fas) You were put here to protect us But who protects us from you? Every time you say Thats illegal Doesnt mean that thats true (Uh-huh) Your authoritys never questioned No-one questions you If I hit you Ill be killed But you hit me? I can sue (Order! Order!) Lookin through my history book Ive watched you as you grew Killin blacks and callin it the law (Bo! Bo! Bo!) And worshipping Jesus too There was a time when a black man Couldnt be down wit your crew (Can I have a job please?) Now you want all the help you can get Scared? Well aint that true (You g_ _damn right) You were put here to protect us But who protects us from you? Or should I say, who are you protecting? The rich? the poor? Who? It seems that when you walk the ghetto You walk wit your own point of view (Look at that gold chain) You judge a man by the car he drives Or if his hat match his shoe (Yo, you lookin kinda fresh) Well, back in the days of Sherlock Holmes A man was judged by a clue Now hes judged by if hes Spanish, Black, Italian or Jew So do not kick my door down and tie me up While my wife cooks the stew (Youre under arrest!) cause you were put here to protect us But who protects us from you? (A public service announcement brought to you by the scientists of Boogie Down Productions. Fy-ah! Come again)
