The 5-0 Lyrics

verse #1: the abuse is everywhere
in your town and on the air
well i don't want to see it any more
cop lies will unfold and
the truth will be exposed
think they own the world with that badge

chorus: WE DON'T NEED YOUR POLICE
ORDER MAINTAINED WITHOUT THEM
WE DON'T NEED BROKEN DREAMS
BEATEN AND BRUISED IN THE STREETS

verse #2: follow what i say
not what i do
minds filled with corrupted views
harrass the innocent
sport a gun at side
just incites more violence and crime

outro: so sick of it
won't stand for it
i won't live life in fear

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
