"Now, I can't say exactly what did happen You just don't understand unless you been through it" Hey yeah! Hey yeah! Awh! I got soul, dress got holes Got a brand new bag, gun and Cherokee Driving fast life flashes past, the cops are chasing me Hot-pants, she looked fine, she said that she was mine She was cute, torched my suit, and that's the bottom line It's a man's man's world in America Jump back in my cell Please please please in America Slipping into hell On my tail, car chase boogaloo FBI, CIA, and the Russians too Kicking down the door, couldn't take no more When I'm about, there is no doubt that papa's word is law It's a man's man's world in America Jump back in my cell Please please please in America Slipping into hell "Life can be bright in America If you can fight in America Life is all right in America If you're all-white in America" High-speed chase on my case Radio ahead A.P.B. after me They said I shot the bed It's a man's man's world in America Jump back in my cell Please please please in America Slipping into hell Shooting up her mink ("Get the hell out of the car!"), gunshots in the air Jump back, my car ("Get out of the car!"), goodfoot out of there Roadblock ahead, try to flag me down ("Drop to your knees!")
