Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
[Verse 2]
Say, Mrs. Dali Lamas
Another sister's shootin' heroin tomorrows
Amputees in Freetown, Sierra Leone's
The church wasn't honest
[Verse 3]
The state put the youth in a harness
Creatin' hostility among us
The teacher said, "No college"
Still, kid gotta get a check
With a couple commas
[Verse 4]
People wanna bomb us
More people gotta scatter and run from us
Blame it on Zeus and Apollo and Adonis
[Verse 5]
But, what you've done here
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won't be long before
You're pullin' yourself away
[Verse 6]
But, what you've done here
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won't be long before
You're pullin' yourself away
[Verse 7]
I been knowin' her for years
I've been seein' her for years
She got dark, dark wavy hair
With a voice like she just don't care
[Verse 8]
She got a skirt with a halter top
She's got a dad who never gave her enough
She drink a beer with a proper shot
She got knocked up in a pickup truck
[Verse 9]
But she got engaged when she was nineteen
To this dude who was actin' insane
Had a .45 that he always cleaned
Said, one day, one day, one too many days
[Verse 10]
Now he ducked, and she ran away
Never to be heard from, never to be seen
I check a cover of a magazine
I'm just wonderin' how, just wonderin' how
[Verse 11]
But, what you've done is
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won't be long before
You're pullin' yourself away
[Verse 12]
But, what you've done here
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won't be long before
You're pullin' yourself away
[Verse 13]
What you've done here
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won't be long before
You're pullin' yourself away
[Verse 14]
What you've done here
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won't be long before
You're pullin' yourself away
[Verse 15]
A bullet and a target
A bullet and a target
A bullet and a target
A bullet and a target
[Verse 16]
Between a bullet and a target
[Verse 17]
A bullet and a, bullet and a target
A bullet and a, bullet and a target
A bullet and a, bullet and a target
A bullet and a, bullet and a
