Don't know unless you're in it
Everyone loves to spin it
Play up the racial tension
Always forget to mention
It's not a situation
Without a violation
If they would just obey
Everyone walks away, both
Black and White
If I were you
and you were me
then you'd agree
how hard to see
the blue can be
You learn as a rookie cop
Can't let 'em get the drop
No time for second guessin'
Bullet will teach that lesson
We look out for each other
Brother protecting brother
Constantly on defense
Every time dispatch sends a
Black and White
If I were you
and you were me
then you'd agree
how hard to see
the blue can be
We're being held to impossible standards
Everyone makes mistakes
All of the lives that we save out there
They always focus on the ones we take
We know we take our chances
These are our circumstances
Hated and unrewarded
Monitored and recorded
So let the public chatter
Truth is that Cop Lives Matter
More than a thug or two
Choice between me or you is
Black and White
If I were you
and you were me
then you'd agree
how hard to see
the blue can be
