Im about to squeeze off on everyone that I know
Cause every time they see me they ask for dough
They think Im rich cause my name is Kurtis Blow
I cant stand it I cant take it no more
I cant stand it I cant take it no more x4
I cant take it no more x4
Lookin out my window five stories up
I see a wino with a bottle he dont need a cup
Takin a chance,tryin to make a days pay
But the rats in the alley are takin a stand
Chewin on somethin that used to be a man
I cant stand it,I cant take it no more x2
I cant take it no more x4
Gun shots just up the block
By a kid whose head is hard as a rock
A lady with a baby who was crossing the street
Gets hit by a bullet and falls off her feet
The people gather round,the baby is crying
The ambulance is late and the lady is dying
The trigger happy did not step off that day
But the lady with the baby was a D-O-A
I cant stand it,I cant take it no more x2
I cant take it no more x8
