Trouble In Town

Lyrics

Trouble in town
 Because they cut my brother down
 Because my sister can't wear her crown
 There's trouble, there's trouble in town
 ♪
 Blood on the beat, oh my goodness
 There's blood on the beat
 The law of the jungle
 Or the law of the street
 There's blood on, there's blood on the beat
 ♪
 And I get no shelter
 And I get no peace
 And I never get released
 ♪
 Trouble in town (Oh-oh)
 Because they hung my brother Brown
 Because their system just keep you down
 There's trouble, there's trouble in town
 ♪
 And I get no shelter
 And I get no peace
 And I just get more police
 ♪
 And I get no comfort
 And I get no name
 Everything is getting strained
 What's that?
 What's his name?
 X (Standby, Sir)
 Alright, is that X your middle name?
 Of course, it's on a vehicle ID right?
 You're getting smart? 'Cause you'll be in a fucking car with him
 I'm just telling you (Fucking smartass)
 I'm asking you, what the X is, is that your middle name?
 Of course, what is it?
 Don't come back with the "what is it?" fucking shit
 Talk to these fucking pigs on the street that way
 You ain't talking to me that way
 I don't talk to nobody in the streets
 I don't hang with nobody
 Well then don't come to fucking Philadelphia, stay in Jersey
 I have family out here
 Everybody thinks they're a fucking lawyer
 And they don't know jack shit
 Grab you up? I'll grab you any way I got to
 You're not protecting me while I'm trying
 While I'm trying to go to work
 Why don't you shut up?

 Jikelele, jikelele

 Jikelele, jikelele
 Jikelele, jikelele
