How could I ever bear witness to a man

Who comes running down to the other side of reason

And jumps up with a gun in his hand

How could I ever solemnly swear to no end

That the man that I was seeing

The man that I saw was bleeding

Was leading me to the promise land

I said now hold on

How could I ever scream to the top of my lungs

Without making a noise I'm not taking a voice

I ain't sounding like every other one

How could I ever dare to close my eyes

Open up another side

Find time

Just take it as it comes and leave it a surprise

No way, no how

Music is the only way I throw down

But I want to know now

How could I go down with you

No way, no how

Music is the only way I throw down

But I want to know now

How could I go down with you

How could I ever stand firm on your solid ground

And rise up to the fear

Never holding my ear when the roaring of the canon sounds

You fire one shot

It never touch my body

How could I ever be so sincere

We never runnin, never duckin

From the gunman

And the words ring so clear

Now and they say

Got a little story for you

But if all the people

They stop listening

Then what can anybody do

I've got a story for you

Are you listening

People wanna touch us

Wanna take us

Wanna rush us

But they never gonna shake our sound

They fake it and we make it

Strip us down naked

But can they ever break us down

No

People wanna touch us

Wanna take us

Wanna rush us

But they never gonna shake our sound

They fake it and we make it

Strip us down naked

But can they ever break us down

No

No way, no how

Music is the only way I throw down

But I want to know now

How could I go down with you

No way, no how

Music is the only way I throw down

But I want to know now

How could I go down with you
