I was walking down a back street
Just the other night
I got a funny feeling
That things weren't right
I heard some heavy footsteps right behind
And I know it wasn't just my mind
You know the foolk**er's coming
Uh-huh, he gettin' closer every day
Don't you know the foolk**er's coming
I'm gonna try to make my getaway
I've been living in this concrete anthill
Scraping and scrubbing for that dollar bill
Eight million people living on a brink
There ain't no time to stop and think
You know the foolk**er's coming
Uh-huh, I do believe it's true
Girl, I said the foolk**er's coming
I think he got his eye on me and you
Now, if you never been a fool
Then you don't have to worry
But if you have
You better get in a hurry
And just to be on the safe side
Get yourself a little place to hide
You know the foolk**er's coming
Lord, I do believe it's true
I see the foolk**er coming
And I know he got his eye on me and you
I've been living in this concrete anthill
I'm scraping and scrubbing for that dollar bill
Eight million people living on a brink
And there ain't no time to stop and think
You know the foolk**er's coming
Lord, he's getting closer every day
Don't you see the foolk**er coming
I gonna try to make my getaway
Now, if you never been a fool
Then you don't have to worry
But if you have
You better get in a hurry
And just to be on the safe side
Seek yourself a little place to hide
You know, the foolk**er's coming
Lord, I do believe it's true
Can't you see the foolk**er's coming
I know he got his eye on me and you
Yeah, you know, the foolk**er's coming, all right
