I’ve been outnumbered on a number of times
Seven badges swinging but I still got mine
I got blood sweat and tears and fifteen years
I got a trunk full of pride we can take it outside
We can walk through the valley of d**h, I’m still standing
After the effects and suffering a crash landing
Under the gun I’ve been underpaid
Now I’m back from the grave what you got to say
[Chorus:]
You’ll be staring at the sky
with the stars around your head
If you come and step to me
Then you’re better of dead
I wipe the floor with you
You want to get down
I wipe the floor with you
I wipe the floor with you
You want to get down
You’re better of dead
Late night shifts till I didn’t exist
I’ve been dragged through the dirt and crossed off the list
Stitches in my hand I got blood on the floor
I’m from the city of steel have you been there before
This is for the ones who fell for the hard working folks
That have been through hell where respect comes first
And your money comes last and if you ain’t got the money
Gotta look out for somebody, look out
[Chorus]
Must be the time for you to make your mind up
Must be the time for you to read the signs
Must be the time for you to meet the maker
Must be the time for your soul to cry
Oh lord have mercy
Now hit me
[Chorus]
