Get out of the road, mister!

Move it!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

You in the red Cougar!

Please get out of your automobile.

Sir, please get out of your automobile.

Get out of the car

and stand against the door...

with your hands on the vehicle, sir.

Stand against the door with your hands

where we can see them, sir!

Against the car, sir!

Jesus.

We got you clocked at over 100, sir.

Spread your legs.

Spread 'em!

Little wet tonight for that kind

of driving, don't you think?

You been drinking, sir?

Hey, hey, hey!

Return to your position!

Whoa! Hey, return to your position!

Back it up!

You heard him, a**hole!

Assume the f***ing position!

Unit 14! 10-106.

Shots fired!

We need paramedics.

10-4, Unit 14. All units respond.

Stand by, 14.

They're on their way. Over.

I got a letter from

the government the other day

I opened and read it

It said they were suckers

They wanted me

for their army or whatever

Picture me givin'a damn

I said never

Here is a land

that never gave a damn

About a brother like myself

'Cause I ain't never did

I wasn't with it

Butjust that very minute

it occurred to me

The suckers had authority

Cold sweatin'

as I dwell in my cell

How long has it been

They got me sittin'in the state pen

I gotta get out

but that thought was thought before

I contemplated a plan

on the cell floor

I'm not a fugitive

on the run

But a brother like me

begun to be another one

Public enemy servin'time

They drew the line, y'all

They criticize me

for some crime

I got a letter

I got a letter

I got a letter

Picture me givin'a damn

I said never
