Hop bop but don't call the cop
|
My sound still in the musical top, relax
|
|
Come on in, the gate is wide and open
|
Don't be afraid, we're not as bad as they say
|
Do you, do you, do what you got to do
|
Do you, do you, do what you got to do
|
Do you, do you, do what you got to do
|
Do you, do you
|
|
We're having fun down in the ghetto
|
We're having fun down in the ghetto
|
We're having fun down in the ghetto
|
We're having fun down in the ghetto
|

Punished for their innocence

When will the innocent stop being

Punished for their innocence

Do you, do you, do what you got to do
