You keep on telling, but it's like they're stupid saying, what! It's getting worse, like every week And, when you talk, you're "giving lip", so you can't even, speak But "Stop & Search" only a part, or a degree Of global, racial, inequality Stop the "Stop & Search" They're taking pleasure from your pain, stop the "Stop & Search" Stop the "Stop & Search" It's not right, it must be wrong, stop the "Stop & Search" Stop, Stop, the "Stop & Search" Stop, stop, the "Stop & Search" Many lose their lives to, "Stop & Search" On and on, it makes you sick, you feel you're gonna lurch They say no fire, without smoke" But we can all see, that the whole system's, broke It's so constricting, let him breath!
