Thela Hun Ginjeet is an anagramistic title The song has to do with urban violence Crime in the streets, being mugged You know, all those kind of useful social comments Now, there's a line in which the singer has to act the part of a person who is being mugged And Adrian one day went to the studio and got in front of the microphone And was saying, "He held a gun against my head, this is a dangerous place I wouldn't like to live here" You know, which isn't awfully convincing So I said to him, why don't you take this pocket cassette machine and walk around the block And get a bit more of a feel of what it's like to be on the street So he went around the block, walking and talking into the machine And as he walked around the corner he said into the machine "This is a dangerous place, He held a gun against my head, I wouldn't like to live here" And immediately got set on by a street gang They said, "Hey man! Hey man! What-what you got there?" So suddenly, these two guys appear in front of me Stopped real aggressive, start at me, you know? What-what's that? What's that on that tape? You know, what you got there? I said, "Um, it's a tape" "What are you talking into that for?" You know? I said, "oh, it's-it's just a tape" you know? And they said "Well play it for us" I said "oh no" Put 'em for as long as I could Finally, they turned it on, you know, they-they grabbed it from me, took it away from me Turned it on and it says, "He held a gun in his hand, this is a dangerous place" They said, "What daangerous place? What gun? You're a police man" The deeper I got the worse I got into it Well, first of all I couldn't even see his face I couldn't see his face He was holding a gun in his hand I was thinking This is a dangerous place Well this is a dangerous place Thela Hun Ginjeet, Thela Hun Ginjeet Thela Hun Ginjeet, Thela Hun Ginjeet Thela Hun Ginjeet, Thela Hun Ginjeet Thela Hun Ginjeet, Thela Hun Ginjeet Qua tari mei, Thela Hun Ginjeet Qua tari mei, heat in the jungle streets I said, "I'm nervous as hell from this stuff" 'Cause those guys were going to kill me for sure They ganged up on me like that I couldn't believe it I mean look, I'm still shakin' It's weird They're out in the streets like that It's a dangerous place It's a dangerous place Thela Hun Ginjeet, Thela Hun Ginjeet Thela Hun Ginjeet, Thela Hun Ginjeet Thela Hun Ginjeet, Thela Hun Ginjeet Thela Hun Ginjeet, Thela Hun Ginjeet Qua tari mei, Thela Hun Ginjeet Qua tari mei, heat in the jungle streets I was walking down the street one day It wasn't in Philadelphia, thank god I was talking into a walkman, not a Pac Man Suddenly, I was surrounded by a a gang of young, rough, tough individuals They wanted to kill me Said, "Watch out, it's a dangerous place" I talked to him, I told him, I said, "Look man, I'm not talkin'" It went on forever, anyway, I finally unbuttoned my shirt, and said "Look, look, I'm in this band, you know, I'm in this band you know And we're makin' a recording, you know It's just about New York City, it's about crime in the streets" The explanation was going nowhere, but Finally, they just kinda let me go, I don't know why So I walk around the corner And I'm like shakin' like a leaf And I thought, "This is a dangerous place once again, you know" Ah, who should appear, but two policeman Thela Hun Ginjeet, Thela Hun Ginjeet Thela Hun Ginjeet, Thela Hun Ginjeet What happened? They didn't kill me They didn't tear my limbs off They let me go I walked right around the corner Shakin' like a leaf Straight into the hands of two policemen Watch out, it's a dangerous place
