Recommend KRS' Sound of da Police. This is literally the second verse:

Now here's a likkle truth, open up your eye

While you're checkin' out the boom-bap, check the exercise

Take the word overseer, like a sample

Repeat it very quickly in a crew, for example

Overseer, overseer, overseer, overseer

Officer, officer, officer, officer

Yeah, officer from overseer

You need a little clarity? Check the similarity!

The overseer rode around the plantation

The officer is off, patrollin' all the nation

The overseer could stop you, "What you're doing?"

The officer will pull you over just when he's pursuing

The overseer had the right to get ill

And if you fought back, the overseer had the right to kill

The officer has the right to arrest

And if you fight back they put a hole in your chest

(Woop!) They both ride horses

After 400 years, I've got no choices
