Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm just walkin'
Tryin' to get home
I ain't do nothin'
Just leave me alone
[PreChorus]
Lord, give me wings to fly
Before they shoot me down and I die
Don't let them shoot me down, and I die
[Chorus]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh
Put down your gun and take your hands off me
Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh
Put down your gun and take your hands off me
[Verse 2]
Officer, officer
Officer
I know you're afraid like me
But look at my hands
Please don't shoot me
[Chorus]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh
Put down your gun and take your hands off me
Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh
Put down your gun and take your hands off me
