Probable Cause Lyrics

    [Grand Puba]
    Uhh.. yeah.. then they say
    Probable cause (uh-huh) probable cause (yeah)
    You don't have to break no laws
    They say probable cause (probable cause)
    Probable cause (yeah) probable cause
    You don't have to break no laws
    They say probable cause (word)

    Now who's this nigga in the 4.6?
    About twenty to five, got a truck full of chicks
    Just leavin the disco, me and my man from the Knicks
    Oak Dog, later on because they live in the Bricks
    Jumped on the George Washington and Now Jeru' turnpike
    Head feelin right from a long-ass night
    Whoa, I see Jake, so I let off the gas
    So I was doin fifty-five when I passed his ass
    I looked over, caught the shine from the rim of the Rover
    You know his next move (*police siren*) pull it over
    I pulls over to the right-hand shoulder
    Look through the rearview he got his hand on his holster
    He had this look, "How this black nigga get this car?"
    You know these cracker state troopers don't know rap stars
    He asked me for license and my registration
    Seen my New York tags and he asked me my destination
    I said, "Vacation," handed him my registration
    Papers were straight so I didn't wet the situation
    Got my shit back, and that was that, but that wasn't that
    Cause in fact, I got stopped two more times black

    Probable cause (uh-huh) probable cause (yeah)
    You don't have to break no laws
    They say probable cause
    Probable cause (uh) probable cause
    You don't have to break no laws
    They say probable cause
    Probable cause (yeah) probable cause
    You don't have to break no laws
    They say probable cause (say what)
    Probable cause (uh) probable cause
    You don't have to break no laws
    They say probable cause

    [Sadat X]
    It feel like my hands, stay tied
    cause New York state, and they child care rate
    Miss Judge Lady in a courtroom can dictate
    A fee for me, to pay monthly
    Even suggested, that I be arrested, they don't count
    the time invested or the bond beyond the money
    They'll hit you with arrears, bad enough to bring tears
    They been on my back for years, fuckin with my license
    And everytime I'm stopped by Dick I see the Booking
    That making me violent in this wilderness land
    Now can we talk for a minute? Cause we both made this child
    Can we leave support alone, please take me offa that file
    Cause everytime I see the court my blood pressure rise
    And the heart attack is a killer of black guys, I stay civilized
    Maintain, sometime restrain myself
    A court officer is near me, but I think he fear me, cause it's

    [Grand Puba]
    Probable cause (uh-huh) probable cause
    You don't have to break no laws
    They just say probable cause
    Probable cause (yeah) probable cause
    You don't have to break no laws
    They say probable cause (word up)
    Probable cause, probable cause
    You don't have to break no laws
    They say probable cause (true indeed God)
    Probable cause (yeah) probable cause
    You don't have to break no laws
    They say probable cause

    [Lord Jamar]
    Yo, on October 22nd we wore black
    for all my niggaz Po-Po shot in the back
    Robocops with the crack, they'll never get props
    from the black folks, lock us up while they crack jokes
    and stack notes, when we payin the bail
    Knowin damn well a nigga's gonna stay in the jail
    It's all made for us to fail, the dog is smarter
    than the tail, but if the tail was smarter it would Wag the Dog
    I can't wait til we bag the hogg
    New York State of Mind doesn't mind, murderin my kind
    We even got our own converting across the line
    He turned swine, guess his ass'll learn when he burn
    They say "Protect and to Serve" and never give the people
    the respect they deserve, as if they wasn't equal
    These is man-made laws, selectively applied
    All they need is probable cause for me to fry

    [Grand Puba]
    Probable cause (uh-huh) probable cause
    You don't have to break no laws
    They just say probable cause (yeah yeah yeah)
    Probable cause, probable cause
    You don't have to break no laws
    They say probable cause
    Probable cause, probable cause
    You don't have to break no laws
    They say probable cause (uh-huh)
    Probable cause, probable cause
    You don't have to break no laws
    They say probable cause (yeah, yeah)

    [?? Alamo ??]
    I ain't do shit! Jakes lock a nigga with a weed clip
    Couldn't believe it when he took me in
    Threw me and my man up in the van, a seven hour stand
    ridin around watchin them arouse the black man
    I had the afghan I just copped from the record shop
    Took it up the block my usual spot, when I
    rolled the L, I never expected to go to jail
    I wish they'd all go to hell
    Now Guiliani wanna talk about the "Quality of Life"
    Think he got the right to follow me at night
    with no probable cause, other than my skin is black like yours
    Now they got me in the beast, sittin right in his jaws
    Up in Central Booking, yo people looking knowing that
    I'm in the rap game, and I got trapped the same way they did
    You know these motherfuckers don't play kid
    A little smoke caught me for a three day bid, cause it's

    [Grand Puba]
    Probable cause (uh-huh) probable cause
    You don't have to break no laws
    They just say probable cause (yeah yeah yeah)
    Probable cause, probable cause
    You don't have to break no laws
    They say probable cause
    Probable cause, probable cause
    You don't have to break no laws
    They say probable cause (uh-huh)
    Probable cause, probable cause
    You don't have to break no laws
    They say probable cause (yeah, yeah)
