They got me runnin' from 56 hope road

Seems my world came crashin' down a moment ago

I got this banner cross my back that says I'll be okay

And save the dyin' for some other day

When you're walkin' in my city you gotta duck and dive

'cause in the city bullets fly

They put a gun in the hand of a juvenile

When you look them in the eye things get wild

Took a little detour down to washington boulevard

Dreadlocks in the moonlight down in lee perry's yard

I'm in the wrong place at the right time

No longer in the line of fire now I'm stayin' alive

Hit it hit it get ready to roll

Your world's been fallin' down now it's startin to show

You got your reasons hidden deep behind your eyes

Your blowin' up mines crossin' over police lines

They're gonna fight against us but they will not overcome

No one's touchin' my life till my job gets done

When you're walkin' in my city you gotta duck and dive

'cause in the city bullets fly

They put a gun in the hand of a juvenile

When you look them in the eye things get wild

Now this bounty been placed upon my head

What does it really mean if a man wants me dead?

If I'm gunned down in the streets of trenchtown

Will the people come around when they hear the sound?
