Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Out on the corner with my roller skates, yeah
Havin' fun with the girls, says, "I'm feeling great", whoa
The darker the night, street lamps glowin'
On full blast, my radio, radio
[Verse 2]
Ouch
Havin' fun
[Verse 3]
Up comes this guy in his flashy car
(In his mouth stuck a lit cigar)
Needed my help, said he lost his way
(Never heard a word he said)
To find some street, said he wanted instructions
So I turned down the music
To point out directions, guess what?
[Verse 4]
(Guy jumped on me, messed up my clothes) Yes, he did
(Smashed and grabbed my radio)
(Calling all detectives, a criminal at large)
(Smoking a big fat cigar in a flashy car)
Think himself a superstar, hey
[Verse 5]
Life, life without music, I can't go, oh, no (I can't go)
Life without music, I can't go, oh, no (I can't go)
I'm gonna get him, the last thing I do
Must get a beating till he red and blue
[Verse 6]
Didn't take long to catch him, parked up car and music blastin'
On the sidewalk, he was dancin', stealing the show, the people watching
Roller skate gang was hot on his tracks
Stick it up, mister, give me back (Give me) give me back (Give me)
Give me back (Give me) give me back my radio (Give me, give me)
[Verse 7]
(Guy jumped on me, messed up my clothes) Uh
(Smashed and grabbed my radio)
(Calling all detectives) Tell them (A criminal at large)
(Smoking a big fat cigar in a flashy car)
Think himself a superstar, hey
[Verse 8]
Life, life without music, I can't go, oh, no (I can't go)
Life without music, I can't go, oh, no
[Verse 9]
(Jumped on me, messed up my clothes) I'm gonna get him
(Smashed and grabbed my radio) The last thing I do
Can't get away, grand thumping (Smashed and grabbed my radio)
Can't get away with that
[Verse 10]
(Life, life without music, I can't go) Yeah, man, with murder style
(Life, life without music) Them have to get a beating, them have to get a beating
Nothing great and nothing big (Life without music, I can't go)
Like the music from my wireless
Only thing that I will test is the man who steal my wireless
(Life without music)
[Verse 11]
Him have to run like a fugitive (Life without music)
Him have to run from detective (I can't go)
Him have to run like a fugitive (Life without music)
Him have to run from detective
[Verse 12]
Some yell time out is a TK
He must lead a life of shame
Some of them call him Uncle Sam
Some of them call him Uncle Tom
Uncle Sam and Uncle Tom
Yes, they are the same man
S-A-M means steal away music
T-O-M mean T for our music
The drum and the bass have to move me when
Lyrics and sound off the key was strong
Riddim and skank help chop it down
Some yell time Thomas, him have to get bonked
[Verse 13]
Him have to get a beating (Life without music)
Him have to get a beating, murder (I can't go)
Him have to get a beating (Life without music)
