41 shots, and we’ll take that ride Across this bloody river to the other side 41 shots, they cut through the night You’re kneeling over his body in the vestibule Praying for his life
Is it a gun? Is it a knife? Is it a wallet? This is your life It ain’t no secret (it ain’t no secret) It ain’t no secret (it ain’t no secret) Ain’t no secret my friend You can get killed just for living in your american skin
41 shots 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots
41 shots, lena gets her son ready for school She says now on these streets charles You got to understand the rules Promise me if an officer stops you’ll always be polite Never ever run away and promise mama you’ll keep your hands in sight
Cause is it a gun? Is it a knife? Is it a wallet? This is your life It ain’t no secret (it ain’t no secret) It ain’t no secret (it ain’t no secret) No secret my friend You can get killed just for living in your american skin
41 shots 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots
Is it a gun? Is it a knife? Is it a wallet? This is your life It ain’t no secret (it ain’t no secret) It ain’t no secret (it ain’t no secret) It ain’t no secret (it ain’t no secret)
41 shots and we’ll take that ride Across this bloody river to the other side 41 shots my boots caked in mud We’re baptized in these waters and in each other’s blood
Is it a gun? Is it a knife? Is it a wallet? This is your life It ain’t no secret (it ain’t no secret) It ain’t no secret (it ain’t no secret) No secret my friend You can get killed just for living in You can get killed just for living in You can get killed just for living in Your american skin
