Listen, stream, buy, mp3 download and read the lyrics to Chevy Woods’ song titled “Hands On The Dashboard”. The song was produced by Ghostrage.
Though a lot of music was put on hold this week in respect to the current social climate, many artists have used their voice to amplify and speak on what’s going on. Racial injustices against the Black community have been going on for far too long, especially at the hands of law enforcement. As many have taken to the streets to denounce police brutality and racism, artists have used the moment as inspiration. Chevy Woods recently released a new song called “Hands On The Dashboard” where he details his encounter with police. Coming from a first-person perspective, he dialogues an interaction with police that sound all too familiar — getting pulled over for tinted windows, calls for back up, etc. A radio effect distinguishes his voice from the officers in a way that’s reminiscent of Jay-Z’s “99 Problems.”
With production from ghostrage, Chevy Woods cooks up a breezy record that still highlights the racial tension going on in America.

Lyrics
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Officer mister officer
Tell me why you wanna see me in [?] Sir
Officer mister officer
Hold on,can you tell me first, why you stop me sir ?
Well first off all you tends to dark
No that’s a lie
I think I need back up we go us a toff guy
Uhh, not be in toff, i just know the law
To much to get pull potents, Can i make a call?
No, put your hands on dashboard son, And don’t move
Feel like me againt him, no weapon, l’m bound to lose
Now, what’s your name?
I’m like “kevin”, He like “kevin home”, kevin woods
You must be new, i never heard of you
Well,just sure you know, I’m black intelligent brother
And it’s a nice day out, I’m enjoying in summer
Ain’t bein’ in trouble since 23, I’m clean baby
Look, i just wanna get its done, so i could leave may be
[Bridge]
Dashboard hands on a dashboard
Dashboard hands on a dashboard
Dashboard hands on a dashboard, hands on a dashboard
[Outro]
