Hello. I can't get the artists name, or the name of this song. I rember a line in it. It goes, "Give me the keys to Lil' Kim's handcuffs/ Give me the keys to C-Murder's handcuffs."

Someone please tell me the name of that song, and the artist.

Papoose "Sharades"

[Papoose]

East Coast, pop a bottle wit y'all

West Coast, pop a bottle wit y'all

To all you dead-beat dads, you need to find you a job

Your child is the only person that can find you tomorrow

[CHORUS]

I can do what I wanna do, why can't I?

Let a thug get rich, how can I?

I'm watchin' all you rappers, don't you realize?

Let's play a game of Sharades, who am I?

[Kenny Loggins]

There's been times in my life

I've been wonderin' why

Still, somehow, I believe we all will survive

[Papoose]

Gimme the keys to Shyne Po's handcuffs

Gimme the keys to Lil' Kim's handcuffs

Gimme the keys to C-Murder's handcuffs

So I can tighten them and watch the cell slam shut

Gangsta rapper, it's time to man up

'Fore I tighten ya handcuffs

Cuz they all make songs about killin' each other

When I bring em in for questionin', they all squeal on each other

You stick a needle deep in your skin and carve it with ink

You call it tattoo, I call it the mark of the beast

We identify criminals who rob in the streets

By scars and tattoos, don't you bother to think?

They blame me for Biggie's murder but the case died out

So that's for me to know and for you to find out

I got the industry locked and key

Who am I? I'm the Hip-Hop Police...

[CHORUS]

[Papoose]

Gimme the keys to Beanie Sigel's handcuffs

Gimme the keys to Irv Gotti's handcuffs

Gimme the keys to Snoop Dogg's handcuffs

He got acquitted, he lucked up

They makin' more money than me, damn rap stars

Pull Jigga over, maybe there's a gun in his car

Took the sexy young lady with the push up bra

Got her to frame Mystikal, he ain't rape that broad

Made an example outta Kim, Chi Ali and Shyne

Tony Yayo on parole, he owe me some time

Take the gangsta outta rap, that's set to decieve you

What I'm tryna do is make Hip-Hop illegal

They blame me for Pac's murder but the case died out

So that's for me to know and for you to find out

I got the industry on lock and key

Who am I? I'm the Hip-Hop Police...

[CHORUS]

[Papoose]

Can you recognize a cop when his clothes is plain?

You gotta identify him, it's like a game of Sharades

Take a loan from a bank, I'm borrowin' money

I take a loan from my homies, I'm launderin' money

Called the narcotic cops when I sold my dimes

Called the gun boys on me when I totted by 9

Now I hold a microphone, is you outta ya mind?

Hip-Hop Police, is Hip-Hop a crime?

Freedom of speech, y'all think so evil

Rather give freedom to my speech than give freedom to my people

Instead of watchin' us, y'all shoulda been watchin' Ground Zero

Schwarzenegger killin' in movies but he a hero

To all of the rappers, we gotta stay incognito

To do it our way like Carlito

Cuz they wanna stink in they way

If everybody lived they life the same way, we'd all meet our maker the same day...

I've heard a version from DJ Kay Slay's "Let The Games Begin 3" that features Mike Jones too.
