Ring the Alarm

Oh gosh, in the street
Big bird if they arrested me
Had to boot the door in when they wouldn't open sesame
I'm my bruddahs keeper, so you know I got him next to me
And if you shot the sheriff, then you know I shot the deputy


(Ring the alarm) Ring the alarm
(Woah, hey)
(Ring the alarm) Ring the alarm
(Woah, hey)


Burn it down, burn it down
Burn Babylon to the ground
Watch their heads start rolling every time I come around
Natty 'pon a mission when you hear the Vylan sound
Why do you think they call me Bob? I chase the baldheads out of town
You know I had a vision when I was making death threats, so that I could make a living
Didn't want to see me winning, rather see me in a prison
The man were billing zoots, now it's headlines that were billing


Oh gosh, in the street
Big bird if they arrested me
Had to boot the door in when they wouldn't open sesame
I'm my bruddahs keeper, so you know I got him next to me
And if you shot the sheriff, then you know I shot the deputy


(Ring the alarm) Ring the alarm
(Woah, hey)
(Ring the alarm) Ring the alarm
(Woah, hey)
(Ring the alarm) Ring the alarm
(Woah, hey)
(Ring the alarm) Ring the alarm
(Woah, hey)


Burn it down, burn it down
I stand firm up on the ground
I was out there by myself, I had to learn to earn a pound
I shout "Black is beautiful," they act like they ain't heard a sound
I hear sirens in the distance, them murderers lurking 'round
Kill the culture if they can't put it in prison
Bust a smile for Smiley and his Cockney rhyming wisdom
They won't touch me with their shackles
It's a dungeon, don't forget
I see Lucifer on Earth, dressed up like the London Met


Oh gosh, in the street
Big bird if they arrested me
Had to boot the door in when they wouldn't open sesame
I'm my bruddahs keeper, so you know I got him next to me
And if you shot the sheriff, then you know I shot the deputy

(Ring the alarm) Ring the alarm
(Woah, hey)
(Ring the alarm) Ring the alarm
(Woah, hey)
(Ring the alarm) Ring the alarm
(Woah, hey)
(Ring the alarm) Ring the alarm
(Woah, hey)


I'm my bruddahs keeper, so you know I got him next to me
I'm my bruddahs keeper, so you know, yeah you know, yeah
I'm my bruddahs keeper, so you know I got him next to me
I'm my bruddahs keeper, yeah, you know, yeah, you know, yeah
I'm my bruddahs keeper, so you know I got him next to me
I'm my bruddahs keeper, so you know, yeah, you know, yeah
I'm my bruddahs keeper, so you know I got him next to me
If you shot the sheriff, then you know I shot the deputy
