Inside Man
You wanted to protect and serve in a tense england, where your colour was your drawback in life but you became a cop too, when they tried to stop you now the long arm of the law's black and white but most of your own force don't see you as equal, nor do your so called own breed of people, you're trying to get nationwide respect but you haven't even made it to the 90s yet anything could happen to the blacks in this country think about the power of the national front these pigs just detest us, call us niggas to offend us so if you're with 'em you're against us none of 'em have ever done a serious crime but the nature of the beast puts fear in their minds of the people that you fight to make a difference for you're a lone soldier in the kingdom's war
sometimes you take a side, to change the way it looks to you the insiders didn't pull you through, outsiders think you're foolish too, at times you may decide, to leave things just the way they are and think we hate them and they hate us but secretly we pray change comes
insipte of all the people that reckon you're scum, you still crack on and get the job done you're a policeman and this is what you offered to do you stop dealers, pimps and prostitutes you not just trying to get rid of the drugs and the slease and make the underworld scream out 'fuck the police' but last week you helped a pregnant woman start her car and found a large amount of cocaine under the seat it seems you were meant to be an enemy to everyone but then you think, well, sensibly when you see your baby sun staring back you pray he'll be just like his father in the future hopefully he'll be a lot luckier than you are you hold him in your arms and pray that all the good you're doing will give him the sort of life that nobody could ruin Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com then you tuck him into bed and you plant a kiss on his forhead then leave to start your shift
sometimes you take a side, to change the way it looks to you the insiders didn't pull you through, outsiders think you're foolish too, at times you may decide, to leave things just the way they are and think we hate them and they hate us but secretly we pray change comes
silent night and the community's good as gold and they've put you on foot patrol nobody's around on the little side raod that you're on you cant find one crook in the cold so you turn a corner a car pulls up on your left and a masked man mutters something under his breath he fires two rounds and the first one misses but the second ends up in your chest you never would've guessed it would end this way but you can tell it's over so you close your eyes and mentally pray and as the getaway car pulls of with a screach you ask only that your baby remembers your face the mortal wound makes morning news, and only a widow is mourning you and a man at an airport sells some flights to one gentleman an his pregnant wife
sometimes you take a side, to change the way it looks to you the insiders didn't pull you through, outsiders think you're foolish too, at times you may decide, to leave things just the way they are and think we hate them and they hate us but secretly we pray change comes sometimes you take a side, to change the way it looks to you the insiders didn't pull you through, outsiders think you're foolish too, at times you may decide, to leave things just the way they are and think we hate them and they hate us but secretly we pray change comes
