[Ad-Libs]
Again and again, again and again
You know they're killing us right?
Gorillas, gorillas, report to the mist
[Bridge]
We got a team with us, you thought we were the good ones
Stepping on our side, that's were you put a foot wrong
Roll call, report for duty
Roll call, report for duty
We got a team with us, you thought we were the good ones
Stepping on our side, that's were you put a foot wrong
Roll call, report for duty
Roll call, report for duty
[Verse 1: Briggs]
Australia never had a bad past, where the fuck we get these scars?
Where the fuck you keep those whips? How the fuck can I smoke cigars?
Who's he think he is? What kind of message he to sent the kids
Do what ya want, when ya want and take their money until ya rich
I been out of fucks to give since 86, what the fuck is this?
Death by cop for a traffic stop and all I'm sayin is fuck the pigs
Oh no - shouldn't say that, oh no - that'll come back
Oh no, I know ASIO are listenin' and I could catch one in the back
If you're Aboriginal, in the divisional odds are that they plan on killin' you - coon
You're just paper work, you'll be in the dirt - soon
And they'll get sent away on a paid holiday, funded leave
Brother please, fuck the police is the least I'm gonna say
[Interlude: Briggs & Trials]
Gorillas, gorillas That's the least, fuck the police
That's what the system is, the just US 'system
Gorillas, gorrilas Again and again every day
Built to put you inside, keep them out, that's the sickness
[Verse 2: Trials]
I said true that, listen here tho, they wanna make y'all disappear tho
Dialing M for murder heard that triple zero, fucken hero
Get it clear tho, that gets buried, the blacker the berry the more in the dark
Walk into courts a walk in the park, hand on my heart, balls in my palm
I'm charged with being black and always tryna say my peace
They wanna hold me back but suck my dick and ce la vie
Now can I breathe? (uh uh) well can I breathe (uh uh)
Am I charged? (uh uh) well can I leave?
[Interlude: Briggs]
Gorillas, gorillas (There's no such thing a good cop, no such thing as a good police officer. There's good people. The whole system? It doesn't work for us. There's no such thing as a justice system, it's the legal system)
[Verse 3: Trials]
Oh no, oh yeah, tell me how can it be so fair
That we Dying younger, hiding from the, police man over there
Just for breathing in the air they wanna leave me in the chair
Electric shocking body rocking beat streeting me to death
Mr Policeman! Motherfuck you and that whole precinct
The sergeants and inspectors who protects us from protectors said there's
A glimpse of hope then you ain't talking to them kids
Said Gorrilas, gorrillas, report to the mist
[Verse 4: Briggs]
My disorders distorted, to the mist I'm reportin'
I put my brother boys on 'cause I can afford it
They say they treatin us equal but they don't treat us like people
These Devils are Evil they got me hatin' their beagles
The blacker the berry the bigger the charge
The whiter the lies the deeper facade
The whiter the crime the looser the cuffs
And the blacker the skin and that noose is for us
[Bridge]
We got a team with us, you thought we were the good ones
Stepping on our side, that's were you put a foot wrong
Roll call, report for duty
Roll call, report for duty
We got a team with us, you thought we were the good ones
Stepping on our side, that's were you put a foot wrong
Roll call, report for duty
Roll call, report for duty
[Outro: Briggs & Trials]
Gorillas, gorillas (you thought we were the good ones)
Gorillas, gorillas (that's where you put a foot wrong)
Gorillas, gorillas (report for duty)
Gorillas, gorillas (report for duty)
