    Recommend KRS’ Sound of da Police. This is literally the second verse:

    Now here’s a likkle truth, open up your eye

    While you’re checkin’ out the boom-bap, check the exercise

    Take the word overseer, like a sample

    Repeat it very quickly in a crew, for example

    Overseer, overseer, overseer, overseer

    Officer, officer, officer, officer

    Yeah, officer from overseer

    You need a little clarity? Check the similarity!

    The overseer rode around the plantation

    The officer is off, patrollin’ all the nation

    The overseer could stop you, “What you’re doing?”

    The officer will pull you over just when he’s pursuing

    The overseer had the right to get ill

    And if you fought back, the overseer had the right to kill

    The officer has the right to arrest

    And if you fight back they put a hole in your chest

    (Woop!) They both ride horses

    After 400 years, I’ve got no choices
