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

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 gun)
Is it a knife (is it a knife)
Is it a wallet (is it a wallet)
This is your life (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

I got my boots caked with this mud
We're baptized in these waters (baptized in these waters)
And in each other's blood (and in each other's blood)
Is it a gun (is it a gun)
Is it a knife (is it a knife)
Is it a wallet (is it a wallet)
This is your life (this is your life)
It ain't no secret (it ain't no secret)
