[Verse 1] They came in like they owned it No warrant at the door No cause on paper Just boots on my floor Hands in the drawer Then they emptied the frame Counted up the hurt Then they split with my name Public got questions Public got stonewalled File got buried Truth got small talk What can you do, man? When the badge says take When the house gets stripped And the record won't break [Pre-Chorus] No receipt, no shame Just a shrug and a smirk You can shout all day Still the system works Not for you, not for me Not for folks they hit They can drain your life Then deny the split [Chorus] What can you do, man? What can you do? Take it, take it Then they come for more What can you do, man? What can you do? They bring it back Then they steal it twice [Verse 2] Federal court said Put the money back So they wrapped up the lie And came back black Same blue face Same cold stare New stripe on the sleeve Now lieutenant there Same hands that grabbed it Now he leads the line Same old theft With a higher sign They knew the rules They chose the raid They got it returned Then they stole it again [Pre-Chorus] No receipt, no shame Just a shrug and a smirk You can shout all day Still the system works Not for you, not for me Not for folks they hit They can drain your life Then deny the split [Chorus] What can you do, man? What can you do? Take it, take it Then they come for more What can you do, man? What can you do? They bring it back Then they steal it twice [Bridge] You can write it down You can say it loud You can show the scar In a room full of crowd But they hide behind ranks And a badge like a shield And the cost stays yours On a broken deal Still, we tell that truth Line by line, clear and plain If they steal it once They’ll steal it again [Final Chorus] What can you do, man? What can you do? Take it, take it Then they come for more What can you do, man? What can you do? They bring it back Then they steal it twice What can you do, man? What can you do? We keep the names We don’t let it die
