Longshot: lyrics about police roundups

Post by fourize »

Similar to a thread I started a few months back looking for lyrics mentioning police dogs, I'm again trying to help a researcher friend.

This time, I'm looking for lyrics about police roundups and mass arrests. This one's a longshot, I know, but if anyone can think of any it would be cool.

I'm drawing blank right now, but there's a few Wu-Tang references to roundups, if not in songs then in skits at least. I believe the phrase "blue ninjas" is used.

First thing I thought of was Fat Cats Bigga Fish by The Coup
Boots wrote:Mr Coke said to Mr Mayor: "you know, we got a process like Ice T's hair
We put up the funds for your election campaign
And, oh, um, waiter can you bring the champagne?
Our real estate firm says opportunity's arousing
To make some condos out of low-income housing
Immediately, we need some media heat
To say that gangs run the street and then we bring in the police fleet!
Harass and beat everybody til they look inebriated

When we buy the land, motherfuckas will appreciate it

Yeah, there's Woods verses that I know mention roundups (if not by name, at least by concept), but I can't recall what they are. If you remember any, lemme know.

The Coup one is good. The Cube one is okay, but I'm looking more for things about 'roundups' than just tales of multiple arrests at once.

Keep em coming ( :pause: ).
