(Forty-one shots, Forty-one shots) (Forty-one shots, Forty-one shots) Forty-one shots and we'll take that ride Across the bloody river to the other side Forty-one shots cut through the night You're kneeling over his body In the vestibule praying for his life Is it a gun? Is it a knife? Is it a wallet? This is your life It ain't no secret (It ain't no secret) It ain't no secret (It ain't no secret) No secret, my friend You can get killed just for Living in your American skin (Forty-one shots, Forty-one shots) (Forty-one shots, Forty-one shots) Forty-one shots Lena gets her son ready for school She says, "On these streets, Charles You've got to understand the rules If an officer stops you promise Me you'll always be polite And that you'll never ever run away Promise Mama You'll keep your hands in sight" Is it a gun? Is it a knife? Is it a wallet? This is your life It ain't no secret (It ain't no secret) It ain't no secret (It ain't no secret) No secret, my friend You get killed just for living In your American skin (Forty-one shots, Forty-one shots) (Forty-one shots, Forty-one shots) Is it a gun? Is it a knife? Is it in your heart? Is it in your eyes? It ain't no secret (It ain't no secret) It ain't no secret (It ain't no secret) It ain't no secret (It ain't no secret) Forty-one shots and we'll take that ride Across this bloody river to the other side Forty-one shots I got my boots Caked in this mud We're baptized in these waters (We're baptized in these waters) And in each other's blood (And in each other's blood) Is it a gun? Is it a knife? Is it a wallet? This is your life It ain't no secret (It ain't no secret) It ain't no secret (It ain't no secret) No secret my friend You get killed just for living in You get killed just for living in You get killed just for living In your American skin Forty-one shots forty-one shots Forty-one shots forty-one shots Forty-one shots forty-one shots Forty-one shots forty-one shots Forty-one shots (You get killed just for living) Forty-one shots (You get killed just for living) Forty-one shots (You get killed just for living) Forty-one shots (You get killed just for living) Forty-one shots (You get killed just for living) Forty-one shots (You get killed just for living) Forty-one shots (You get killed just for living) Forty-one shots (You get killed just for living)
