Officer Lyrics by Tanika

Out Here - EP

2015

[Verse 1: Tanika]
This society, I’m young, I’m lost finding me oh
Stereotyping me and you
I ain’t got to be blind to see
My time is far too deep
It’s supposed to change while I achieve
But my pride is shallow
So I drown in all that I believe
[Bridge]
Another one down, another one down
They think, we’ll make some noise
And they won’t come back ‘round
I’m hearing voices and they’re screaming loud
They want us falling, while they run the town
[Chorus]
You scared them too deep Mr. Officer
You scared them too deep
Can I walk on the streets
Without you judging me
You’re supposed to please, protect me
You scared them too deep Mr. Officer
You scared them too deep
Can I walk on the streets
Without you judging me
You’re supposed to please, protect me
Protect me
[Verse 2]
This society
It’s hard to say this land is free
We pay the price to live in broke and dark communities
We get high because we’re lower [?], so
If you shoot me down, I’m just apart of your duty
[Bridge]
Another one down, another one down
They think, we’ll make some noise
And they won’t come back ‘round
I’m hearing voices and they’re screaming loud
They want us falling, while they run the town
[Chorus]
You scared them too deep Mr. Officer
You scared them too deep
Can I walk on the streets
Without you judging me
You’re supposed to please, protect me
You scared them too deep Mr. Officer
You scared them too deep
Can I walk on the streets
Without you judging me
You’re supposed to please, protect me
Protect me
[Outro]
“Who do you hold responsible?”
“The police. Definitely the police.”
