(Chorus):
If I run thru the city
Pom pom, they shoot me but
I'll never be what they want me to be
They trying a-get me but
I don't stop running
They wanna drive me crazy
But I take it so easy

Don't ask me why
They put me on the ground
I started to cry
But there was nobody around
Ya ain't got no right to take me away
Just tell me why you want me to pay

(Chorus)

I could not stand it anymore
Too much fe me
I broke down the door
I jumped over the sea
Let me run let me run
Now we gonna have fun
Let me run...
Went back to me ghetto
Went back to me children
Just wanna live now
But I suffer from the system
Let me run let me run
We gonna have fun
Let me run

(Chorus)
