[Intro: Everlast/Officer O'Malley Bitchkowski, Sample]

Give me some time to blow the men down

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be twisted around and used against you in a court of law—I'll make damn fuckin' sure of it. You have the right to an attorney! If you cannot afford an attorney, which you probably can't, one will be provided for you, you stupid, freakin', moulignan' bastard!


[Verse 1: Everlast/Officer O'Malley Bitchkowski]

It's the bad lieutenant, runnin up in your tenement

Plantin' evidence on any Black resident

New York's largest crew, it's The Men in Blue

We stick together like glue and make lies come true

My name's Officer O'Malley, I shoot you in the alley

And burn you like a cross at a fuckin' Klan rally

I got spics sellin' nicks in the L-E-S

I stay untouchable, like my name's Eliot Ness

New York's finest, with my bulletproof vest

I confiscate the chronic, I let you keep the stress

That is unless you wanna try and test

I'm D.T. undercover, I lock up your mother

You're just another brother, you ain't a mafia don

Who the fuck's payroll do you think that I'm on?


[Hook: Everlast/Officer O'Malley Bitchkowski]

The Police Department is like a crew

It does whatever it wants to do

The Police Department, we're like a crew

We do whatever we want to do!

The Police Department, it's like a crew

It does whatever it wants to do

The Police Department, it's like a crew

It does whatever it wants to do!


[Verse 2: Everlast/Officer O'Malley Bitchkowski]

No, this ain't Serpico, and you ain't Al P

I got it locked from Hunter's Point in the Square of Albee

From the Bronx to Queens to Brooklyn to Staten

We the most organized criminals in Manhattan

When we come, we swarm in full uniform

When the blue lights flash, start runnin' your cash

It goes back to the days of Al Capone and Frank Nitti

Illegal business controls the city

Oh, what a pity if your attitude's shitty

Fuck my money up, kid, and you'll be doin' this bid

If you spill what I did, I'll put a pill in your lid

Or get you bustin like a cherry waitin' in the commissary


[Interlude: Everlast/Officer O'Malley Bitchkowski]

Ahh, what's this? Crack?

Is that a gun?

You stupid moulie fuck!

You're gonna be doin' some real time, son!


[Hook: Everlast/Officer O'Malley Bitchkowski]

The Police Department is like a crew

It does whatever it wants to do!

The Police Department, we're like a crew

We do whatever we want to do!


[Verse 3: Everlast/Officer O'Malley Bitchkowski]

I raid stairways in the PJs just for thrills

And pull triggers on niggers that won't hurt the crills

It's brought up to paper, punk, that's the caper

If we make this connection, I'll give you protection

And this year, the mayor's up for reelection

So rat out all the competition in your section

And the next day, there'll be a drug sweep around your way

So let your crew know, it's time to stay low

Keep up in the dough and you get the info

On what's goin down and we can run this town

Straight into the ground, while we rise to the top

There ain't no such thing as a dirty cop

'Cause I plant what I want on any crime scene

I keep my hands clean, you know what I mean

[Hook: Everlast/Officer O'Malley Bitchkowski, Sample]

The Police Department is like a crew

It does whatever it wants to do

The Police Department, we're like a crew

We do whatever we want to do!

The Police Department, it's like a crew

It does whatever it wants to do

The Police Department, it's like a crew

Blow the men down *gunshot*
