Along the line of what you propose,

Along with a court order for hair and blood

Along with the teachers and the firefighters.

Already been factored into the price, you see?

Always a feel good moment for the folks.

Always full up of corner talk

Am I right? Best of luck, Councilman.

Am I the only one that knows how to play this game?

Am l? Or do I piss them off even more

American democracy.

Among other places.

An hour.

An officer alert to the terrorist threat must ask himself,

An' a box of Newports.

An' I ain't need to worry about them.

An' let it ring.

An' the boy won't get off the bag.

An' who got hurt behind that, huh?

An' won't take none of your product.

An' won't take none of your product.

And "The Sun" and "The Post" are both calling for comment.

And 12 friends...

And 90 minute blocks of math or language arts only.

And a black l.I.D. director.

And a burial mass on Friday.

And a bus pass.

And a carton of Newports.

And a corrected court report

And a girl named Loop or Snoop

And a good evening to you, Sergeant Carver.

And a lion has to have his kill.

And a month from now, after Royce is reelected,

And a pack of Kools for Macia.

And a proud day for the Baltimore Police Department.

And a requisition due to City Purchasing for a large fan.

And a very good evening to you, Officer Colicchio.

And a white tee, double X.

And act like you don't even know I'm there.

And ain't nothing gets done.

And all he ended up looking was weak.

And all hell breaks loose.

And all I get is an extra $10?

And all them motherfuckers in them rowhouses,

And another 1 50 to up our order to six.

And answer questions in the big one?

And anybody that think it's all right to do people this way.

And are eligible for a grand drawing at the end of the month.

And as a result,

And as a result, our response to crime

And as fast as I take 'em down, they bring more.

And as I got older,

And as much as I empathize,

And as to Commissioner Burrell

And as to my attendance at council meetings,

And as to suspensions, we don't have any.

And awkward as hell,

And B, by how much time?

And balance priorities,

And be done with it, all right?

And be the finest quality;

And be there to pass out sandwiches at your execution.

And because I say.

And besides, he ex police.

And besides, I figured if I got my shit

And beyond that, it's time for you to shine

And Bowles, I knew she wasn't coming back,

And Bug said so, too.

And C... who gives a rat's ass?

And changes in the teachers' union contracts that would allow them

And chose able men to rule over the people."

And cigarettes oh, shit.

And close the door.

And considering that those kids

And cops and whatnot, they always come at you

And damn sure no respect.

And distribute all the good apples equally.

And do a lot of things in his life,

And do we know what the long con is?

And does Rawls know?

And don't think they haven't noticed it

And don't you ever cross me like that again.

And drop off Randy's work for next week.

And dropped a few, but nothing recent.

And drug rehab as our only responses.

And drugs paid your salary, right?

And Ervin is a good man working under considerable pressure.

And every one of you has proven time and again

And expect me to hide you.

And expect these weak ass clowns to catch me?

And fire some idiot cop?

And for either of my opponents to suggest

And for emergency procedures

And for events to take the new penny shine off Cedric Daniels.

And for the benefit of the teachers trying to teach.

And for various reasons that I can't get into,

And frankly, I don't give a flying fuck about what you think

And from Freemont to Fulton.

And from the look of things,

And Fruit, he work for Marlo.

And fuck them red lights, man.

And get him some corner boys to mess with.

And get into some diabolical brutality,

And get yourself something to drink from the machine.

And give me the rest of them paint cans, too, man.

And give the Narcotics Division to one of their own.

And given her narcotics expertise,

And given my staffing situation...

And given that we still have a shortage of officers

And given the outcome of the election, we can expect certain enhancements.

And go talk to the man.

And grabbed the first broad he brushed up against.

And have him send a cold patch truck?

And he can't handle it alone.

And he coming near one of mine?

And he decides not to clean house? What then?

And he figures out the lie for himself,

And he gonna walk out one.

And he got some flex in him.

And he knows who put it there.

And he learn that we pricing out his head,

And he really tried to do himself?

And he really tried to do himself?

And he saw you?

And he says it's important.

And he shouldered this tremendous burden all alone.

And he talking to police?

And he thinks I'll help the schools,

And he who owes his good fortune to the numbers,

And he wouldn't listen to me.

And he's still walking around?

And headed for 30. And, by the way,

And hen of the woods mushrooms;

And here we come in with a pair of felony burglaries.

And here you are looking for a suspect

And here you are with Rec and Park rules?

And herein lies your expertise?

And high end enforcements are to be emphasized.

And his girl all screaming,

And his little brother, too.

And how do we end the answer?

And how do you explain Councilman Gray's allegations?

And how everybody said he got killed

And hum fucking VSU

And I ain't even want to put no charges on no more.

And I ain't see it at first, 'cause he was always acting out,

And I ain't stepping to, but I am a man.

And I am stone cold police first, last, and always.

And I am telling you,

And I been dealin' with these Mexicans for years now.

And I can tell by Shalanta's smile,

And I can tell you're upset.

And I didn't wait for him to say anything, either.

And I don't believe we can get a handle on crime

And I don't have your vote?

And I don't know. He just too friendly, you know?

And I don't want to be disappointed in you ever again."

And I don't want to be lying to a roomful of wrinkle assed voters

And I done heard, made up, and tested every excuse invented.

And I get the sense North Avenue

And I get to surprise him at the bail review.

And I got all your other favorites, too.

And I got to train 'em really hard

And I got walls covered with tags.

And I guaran fucking tee you I will jam you up,

And I just found a lot of fucking overtime.

And I knew it was near a lot of our crime scenes.

And I know where y'all hang.

And I know your answer then, but I'm still asking.

And I might have some reason to let a few things slide.

And I need a couple of alleys cleaned.

And I need Tony taking 25 of his points.

And I only got nine years on.

And I searched it good, figuring I'd find some iron, but

And I see you know how to use it."

And I see you're still at it.

And I see you've got Delegate Watkins working the crowd.

And I think any gain or progress is temporary.

And I think she'd be a natural homicide.

And I think the budget chair might have a difficult time

And I understand completely what you're saying.

And I understand we just pumped some fresh blood into Homicide

And I want both of you

And I want to see everybody's worksheets out.

And I want you to remember

And I want you to sign up.

And I was just hoping, let's say, trade out my store, you could maybe

And I will bury you with it.

And I won't have a problem coming up with my share.

And I'd like to thank you for being able

And I'd love the chance to do the right thing

And I'll bet in a couple of weeks,

And I'll give it back to her.

And I'll give Kevin a new hat.

And I'll make sergeant on the next list.

And I'll tell them where they can find you.

And I'm asking if you police.

And I'm giving you an order on this, Lester.

And I'm going from lieutenant to colonel

And I'm gonna tell you...

And I'm here today to ask for the chance to stand with you.

And I'm polling 37% with 24% undecided?

And I'm quite confident you the man can make that happen.

And I'm smelling what has to be urine.

And I'm taking personal orders for tomorrow...

And I'm the one that told him to do the right thing

And if all eyes are on this one,

And if he were to say,

And if I get in, I'm gonna need your help.

And if I take his weak ass product,

And if I'm gonna do anything

And if it's talk, I'ma walk.

And if Marlo Stanfield is on a cell,

And if that don't get it, we're coming the fuck back.

And if the harbor promenade

And if there's a case to be made out there,

And if they don't, at least they get to see

And if we still can't find it?

And if we use it to take four or five points out of Royce's base,

And if you ain't noticed, it's costing us money.

And if you come in with a wad of bills tomorrow, Randy,

And if you give me the opportunity, I will be able to do something to

And if you knew what was good for you

And if you support me, you will have a voice within my administration

And if you tell anybody, I'll cut your balls off.

And if you think I'm gonna give you a dime

And if you want to pay down any part of this debt,

And if you're with us, you're with us,

And in any place you can think of calling home,

And in case you haven't been

And in Narcotics there are no virgins.

And in this system they know how to handle a chainsaw.

And incredibly those matching funds

And instead of being fucked up and broke,

And insurance pays for his cable hookup.

And it comes from the house with a dead man inside.

And it go it go, "Meow."

And it sounds like a war zone.

And it'll help you down the road

And it's four weeks out.

And it's Marlo's boy who falls.

And it's my guess this case is gonna need more manpower.

And it's not gonna be so unbelievably fucked up anymore.

And it's not like I wanna carry water for them

And it's such a nice day out,

And jump the mayor's ship.

And just at this moment,

And just grab that little ****** with the braids."

And just told me to stand by the door and holler if someone came.

And just work these rush hours for me.

And keep a unit problem on the blackboard for Donnelly.

And keep myself away from myself,

And keep the rest for your time.

And keep your names off the returns.

And kid, you're a fucking rock.

And Krawczyk is his number one fundraiser!

And lean on stats that say crime is down.

And left him breathing to talk to you.

And let me guess, you'd like to shake up the personnel.

And let me tell you something, even he knows this is fucked up.

And let no chump ass ******s think I'm shook.

And let your friends handle theirs.

And like this one, it could mean like "pussy" or "clown."

And lime.

And look at what was used to board it up.

And look who you talking about. This ain't the motherfucker

And look, I'm still a sergeant, right?

And made more money that I have in a month.

And maintenance and Donnelly are in there checking the heat.

And make witness protection a priority.

And Marimow got bounced just before he could fuck me up on anything else.

And maybe a soda or something.

And maybe Marlo to the other with a shovel.

And maybe that piece of the 1 1th west of Freemont.

And maybe the nail gun itself, if we could get it.

And maybe we do a little better job with you in here.

And maybe, if you're lucky, up here with you.

And me, I get sick just filling the bathtub.

And medium rare, keep the blood in.

And Moses judged the people.

And most likely for dropping one of Marlo's.

And most times eight is better than 10. Right?

And move his name to the top of the list,

And my boy,

And my door will always be open to you.

And my follow up squad couldn't make a case to save its life.

And my number's in there already.

And my point, Colonel Foerster,

And my sources within the department say the rank and file officers

And neither do you.

And no one fucks with any of us.

And Norris knows there's a possibility of a murdered state's witness.

And not getting a little something...

And not just the downtown areas,

And now his foster mother's been hospitalized, so

And now Sydnor's looking to jump at the first good opening.

And now the word out on the street.

And now they forgot where they came from.

And now they're gonna be mad at me 'cause it ain't stick.

And now you are out. You won.

And now you feel guilty about it.

And now you gotta step to him,

And now you just dog me before I even know the rules.

And now you're gonna shame me again by bringing Norris back.

And now, let me guess, to save your wire,

And numbers games breed more numbers games.

And office memo subpoena requests

And on such truths I ask the voters

And once you make that call, his name's gonna be in the system.

And one day, his father in law said to him,

And one of them's leaking.

And open hearted,

And our police department is working hard

And our side partners will cover it.

And our unit clearance rate is under 50%.

And over here, this is your desk.

And plans can change.

And plant your ass on a stoop.

And polling stations.

And possible termination?

And practice getting over,

And pull out a $25 by mistake.

And put in one of them boarded up houses.

And put that down, will you? You live here now.

And put that fuckin' pen down

And put that on your lap, fool.

And Rawls?

And right as rain you're gonna find a body.

And right now, time is everything.

And run with my fucking campaign

And searched by Amtrak police.

And sees that seven have worms.

And she said it was you that told him not to talk.

And so ends the last crusade of the Major Crimes Unit

And so far I credit you for keeping that promise.

And so he looks carefully at his apples

And so it's up to us to be responsible for them.

And solid waste has pulled 32 tons of trash

And some Marcus Garvey posters are gonna get you over?

And some of you I'm meeting for the first time.

And some shit about zombies.

And spread your arms out to the side.

And Stanfield and his organization, we have a pattern.

And starts dropping off incumbent tickets?

And straighten out a couple of things.

And take their fucking corner, too.

And talk that global economy mess somewhere else.

And talk to their snitch on Wednesday.

And team rules we can only go

And that doesn't even include the court pay

And that I will pursue all of the facts.

And that last stunt pulling a detective.

And that means "lion."

And that warrant says that we can come through your door

And that way, you know

And that would be a catastrophe.

And that would mean it was two years ago.

And that would mean time stands still at Tilghman Middle,

And that you're loyal to them.

And that's gonna solve it for us.

And that's how I come to know Namond.

And that's reality.

And the B & B office downtown.

And the biggest single complaint I'm hearing

And the boy?

And the brutality allegation is a stretch.

And the citizens of Baltimore.

And the citizens of Baltimore."

And the damage done to so many neighborhoods.

And the further you go into Brooklyn/Curtis Bay,

And the government, right?

And the last one shit.

And the mailboxes, arranged by shift and squad.

And the mayor doesn't say anything?

And the next thing Fruit on the ground flopping,

And the number two man at the City Legislative Caucus.

And the others reduced to small fines.

And the people stood by him

And the players that were using them before

And the police, they ain't gonna pay no never mind.

And the security camera on the street is high end.

And the smaller class size.

And the subpoenas?

And the subpoenas.

And the thing that I resent most

And the truth is, you ain't teaching any of them.

And the way it looks right now

And then and then and then she was like...

And then beats you back down when think you can't.

And then Chester and Collington

And then expelled.

And then how many blah, blah, blah

And then I flip it and mess your mind all up.

And then in the next breath setting us up for the long.

And then just admit the camera got took.

And then they basically entrap some poor bastard on a bet,

And then ticketed up with my girl Daniels

And then two years from now when I shake the hand of any voter

And then we'll get back to the regular lessons.

And then you fired the nail gun

And then you fuck that ****** up.

And there's a body inside.

And there's no one there to read it,

And there's three or four other good probables.

And they ain't lock no one up?

And they are trying to change their lives,

And they both feel like they have a mandate for change.

And they cleaned the prints.

And they didn't seem very socialized, either.

And they know exactly what it is they're training for

And they sell your tenured ass for parts.

And they still pulled the motherfucker's voice off a goddamn cell phone tower.

And they write it all down just like he doing now.

And they're gonna need your help too.

And they're on the street, making rips.

And this bitch is writing again.

And this is one drug organization you think did this?

And this Marlo Stanfield? This is the best we can do?

And this means a renewed focus on our schools...

And this one?

And this pink shit coming out the side of his head.

And those halfway houses and shelters have to go someplace.

And those that stay gotta take they package.

And three years before that, you were here for chest surgery for a cutting.

And three, you stay away from schools;

And told me to dump Norris, but dump him I did.

And tomorrow, if we bust open the Braddock case,

And tonight, it's me and the kids next to Tommy

And touch the dirty motherfucker.

And Union Station, Washington.

And unless I see birth certificates saying otherwise,

And until you hear otherwise, you will not

And us.

And vacuuming every crime scene for hair and fiber,

And watched our city deteriorate.

And we agree it takes courage to go overnight

And we break it today,

And we break the case one day before the primary,

And we can computer up that candy, all right? Peace.

And we could use some ointment.

And we feel to place the older children in the younger classes

And we gonna have more than words.

And we know you didn't do it alone.

And we need everyone everyone who's willing to join us

And we outta everybody else' shit.

And we pulled two outta five votes in some precincts.

And we show success in stabilizing behavior.

And we will continue to do so.

And we will find a body.

And we will follow it... after the polls close.

And we'll have done some good here today.

And we'll make him pay.

And we're not just playing games here.
