The Man (1977)

Rare five star single from the days long before there were body cams and safety training. O'Shea "Atomic Wax" Jackson was sentenced 25 to life for writing this hit, a grizzled groove that demands you stop resisting and comply with the funk.
Suspects? Black.
Evidence? Planted.
Bribes? Taken.
Force? Lethal.
So throw your hands up high above your head and "Get DOWN on the f...ing ground NOW!" to this classic 70's funk hit.

Big thanks to Atomic Wax @ATOMICWAXVAULT for providing the music and lyrics.
