[Sirens]

[Voice Loop]

[Verse 1]

What's a boy to do if he'll never be a gangsta?

Anger in his heart, but he'll never be a gangsta

If you move into his neighborhood, he'll never make a sound, ooh!

[Sirens]

[Verse 2]

What's a boy to do if he'll never be a rasta?

Singing from his heart, but he'll never be a rasta

If you move into his neighborhood, he'll never make a sound

If you move into his neighborhood...

[Hook]

Bang-bang, oi!

Never move to my hood, cause danger is crawlin' out the way

Bang-bang, boy-ee

Never move to my hood, cause danger is crawlin' out the way

[Sirens]

[Verse 3]

What's a girl to do if she'll never be a rasta?

Singing from her heart, but she'll never be a rasta?

If you move into her neighborhood, she'll never make a sound

If you move into her neighborhood, she'll never make a...

If you move into her neighborhood, she'll never make a sound

[Hook]

Hey!

[Interlude]

You gonna put that on tape for posterity?

Rewind the tape!

[Bridge]

Life in the city... life in the city..

("...this is happening?")

Makes more sense when [Jesus?] calls me

[Hook]
