Oh gosh, in the street

Big bird if they arrested me

Had to boot the door in when they wouldn't open sesame

I'm my bruddahs keeper, so you know I got him next to me

And if you shot the sheriff, then you know I shot the deputy

(Ring the alarm) Ring the alarm

(Woah, hey)

(Ring the alarm) Ring the alarm

(Woah, hey)

Burn it down, burn it down

Burn Babylon to the ground

Watch their heads start rolling every time I come around

Natty 'pon a mission when you hear the Vylan sound

Why do you think they call me Bob? I chase the baldheads out of town

You know I had a vision when I was making death threats, so that I could make a living

Didn't want to see me winning, rather see me in a prison

The man were billing zoots, now it's headlines that were billing

Oh gosh, in the street

Big bird if they arrested me

Had to boot the door in when they wouldn't open sesame

I'm my bruddahs keeper, so you know I got him next to me

And if you shot the sheriff, then you know I shot the deputy

(Ring the alarm) Ring the alarm

(Woah, hey)

(Ring the alarm) Ring the alarm

(Woah, hey)

(Ring the alarm) Ring the alarm

(Woah, hey)

(Ring the alarm) Ring the alarm

(Woah, hey)

Burn it down, burn it down

I stand firm up on the ground

I was out there by myself, I had to learn to earn a pound

I shout "Black is beautiful," they act like they ain't heard a sound

I hear sirens in the distance, them murderers lurking 'round

Kill the culture if they can't put it in prison

Bust a smile for Smiley and his Cockney rhyming wisdom

They won't touch me with their shackles

It's a dungeon, don't forget

I see Lucifer on Earth, dressed up like the London Met

Oh gosh, in the street

Big bird if they arrested me

Had to boot the door in when they wouldn't open sesame

I'm my bruddahs keeper, so you know I got him next to me

And if you shot the sheriff, then you know I shot the deputy

(Ring the alarm) Ring the alarm

(Woah, hey)

(Ring the alarm) Ring the alarm

(Woah, hey)

(Ring the alarm) Ring the alarm

(Woah, hey)

(Ring the alarm) Ring the alarm

(Woah, hey)

I'm my bruddahs keeper, so you know I got him next to me

I'm my bruddahs keeper, so you know, yeah you know, yeah

I'm my bruddahs keeper, so you know I got him next to me

I'm my bruddahs keeper, yeah, you know, yeah, you know, yeah

I'm my bruddahs keeper, so you know I got him next to me

I'm my bruddahs keeper, so you know, yeah, you know, yeah

I'm my bruddahs keeper, so you know I got him next to me

If you shot the sheriff, then you know I shot the deputy

(Ring the alarm) Ring the alarm

(Woah, hey)

(Ring the alarm) Ring the alarm

(Woah, hey)

(Ring the alarm) Ring the alarm

(Woah, hey)

(Ring the alarm) Ring the alarm
