The sound of numbers Last Time, 5-4-3-6-2-1-8-9 Its over, Ive served, my time Certainly am ready to walk the straight line
Ive been a locked up a long time baby, since I was nine Paid the piper for naughty naughties All I want is to kick start my life
Oou, oou oou, oou, oou, oou, ou, Combing the sand Lay down, lay down, oh women Theyll be scoping me with my six pack frame Fly me a first class, I be off to Hawaii, Lay down, lay down, the island Welcoming me, with a coconut honey
Sure a lotta people here at the airport Lotta people be waiting in line I think Ill light me up a Cuban cigar One for now, then one for the ride
Ive been a locked up a long time baby, since I was nine I just got out yesterday man, bought myself this New York steakknife
Oou, oou oou, oou, oou, oou, ou, Here comes the badge Lay down, lay down your weapons, Or well bag you here at the baggage claim Hey, youve got the wrong man, please stop dealing in absolutes Lay down, lay down your weapons I saw handcuffs then it clicked in me
Oou, oou oou, oou, oou, oou, ou Theyre never ever gonna gonna catch me I never once did anything wrong Instead of pleasantly asking a question You threaten me, and say I am wrong
Oou, oou oou, oou, oou, oou, ou, Make your demands Lay down, lay down your weapons, Or this loved one here gets it in the head I was a baby born into hard time You aint taking me, you aint taking me, You aint taking me, you aint taking me....
