(As for those) in the basement
|
(Marijuanas) the medicine
|
(And those) on the pavement
|
(Burning down the false) government
|
The man in the trench coat
|
Badge out, laid off
|
Says hes got a bad cough
|
Wants to get it paid off
|
Look out kid
|
Its something you did
|
(Jah) knows when
|
But youre doin it again
|
You better duck down the alley way
|
Lookin for a new friend
|
The man in the coon-skin cap
|
In the big pen
|
Wants eleven dollar bills
|
You only got ten
|
|
Maggie comes fleet foot
|
Face full of black soot
|
Talkin that the heat put
|
Plants in the bed but
|
The phones tapped anyway
|
Maggie says that many say
|
They must bust in early May
|
Orders from the D.A.
|
Look out kid
|
Dont matter what you did
|
Walk on your tip toes
|
Dont try No Doz
|
Better stay away from those
|
That carry around a fire hose
|
Keep a clean nose
|
Watch (those) plain clothes
|
You dont need a weather man
|
To know which way the wind blows
|
|
(You) get sick, (then) get well
|
Hang around an ink well
|
(Things fell), hard to tell
|
If anything is goin to sell
|
Try hard, get barred
|
Get back, write Braille
|
Get jailed, jump bail
|
(Dont stop, you dont) fail
|
Look out kid
|
Youre gonna get hit
|
By users, cheaters
|
Six-time losers
|
Hang around the theaters
|
Girl by the whirlpool
|
Lookin for a new fool
|
Dont follow leaders
|
Watch the parkin meters
|
|
Ah get born, keep warm
|
(Girls come) learn to dance
|
Get dressed, get blessed
|
Try to be a success
|
Please her (to please me)
|
Dont steal, dont (shop) lift
|
Twenty years of schoolin
|
And they put you on the day shift
|
Look out kid
|
They keep it all hid
|
(You come out from the dark zone)
|
Light yourself a (fire torch)
|
Wear (your) sandals
|
Try to avoid the scandals
|
Dont wanna be a bum
|
(Get yourself a gun)
|
The pump dont work
|
Cause the vandals took the handles
|
