Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Stick it up, mister!
Hear what I say, sir, yeah
Now, now, now, now, now, yeah
Get your hands in the air, sir!
Woo yeah, and you will get no hurt, mister, no no no
[Verse 2]
I said yeah (I said yeah)
What they say (Listen what they say)
Don't you hear me say yeah? (Yeah, yeah)
Listen what I say (Listen what I say)
[Verse 3]
Do you believe I would take something with me
And give it to the policeman?
I wouldn't do that
And if I do that, I would say, "Sir
I want to put the charge on me"
I wouldn't do that
No, I wouldn't do that
[Verse 4]
Ha, I'm not a fool to hurt myself
So I was innocent of what they done to me
They was wrong
Ha, listen to me one more time
They were wrong
Oh, yeah
[Verse 5]
Give it to me one time, uh!
Give it to me two times, uh! uh!
Give it to me one times, yeah, uh! uh! uh!
Give it to me four times, uh! uh! uh! uh!
54-46 was my number, woh oh
Right now someone has that number
One more time
54-46 was my number, was my number
Right now someone else has that number
I said yeah! (I said yeah)
Listen what they say (Listen what they say)
Oh, I said help me now (Yes, yes)
Listen what they say (Listen what they say)
[Verse 6]
