Standing on the corner
Reasoning with your bredren
You never mean no trouble
You never do no harm
Taking it cool and calm
And a so we a gwaan
Gwaan gwaan gwaan

Over in the ghetto
Tribulaions I know now
Never seem to leave
I and I bredrens no time at all
No time at all

Standing on the corner
Conversing with your sistren
You never mean no trouble
You never do no harm
Taking it cool and calm
And a so we a gwaan
Gwaan gwaan gwaan
