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
  Cuz 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
  Cuz 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?
