[Verse 1] His driver's licence said james He went by jim A gangster wanna be and baby that was him He stole his uncles 44 last friday night Said if I wanted in We'd have to plan this thing just right We'll need the gloves, we'll need the bags, a couple masks We'll need to steal a car with windows tinted black We picked the nearest bank on main and 17th We wrote down every line from every movie that we'd seen
[Chorus] Screamin' This is a robbery now get down on the floor We're here for all the shit that you don't need no more yeah We want your cash open the safe get off your phone Don't be a hero and you might just make it home
Get 'em up And get down Reach for the sky Then go ahead and kiss the ground
Get 'em up And get down Reach for the sky Then go ahead and kiss the ground
Get 'em up Get 'em, get 'em up
[Verse 2] The fresh restored mustang small block 302 Drove past the bank a dozen times this afternoon The only parking spot was half a block away It gave us time to practice just exactly what to say
[Chorus] Screamin' This is a robbery now get down on the floor We're here for all the shit that you don't need no more yeah We want your cash open the safe get off your phone Don't be a hero and you might just make it home
Get 'em up And get down Reach for the sky Then go ahead and kiss the ground
Get 'em up And get down Reach for the sky Then go ahead and kiss the ground
Get 'em up Get 'em, get 'em up Get 'em, get em up
[Verse 3] The only thing I wish that one of us had known That it was Sunday and the god damn bank was closed Too bad we didn't see the cops accross the street We dropped our guns and tried to run And there went all our dreams
[Chorus] Screamin' This is a robbery now get down on the floor We're here for all the shit that you don't need no more yeah We wanted easy street and now we'll never know Somebody call my mom and tell her I ain't comin home
Get 'em up And get down Reach for the sky Then go ahead and kiss the ground
Get 'em up And get down Reach for the sky Then go ahead and kiss the ground
