I was five and he was six we rode on horses made of sticks he wore black and I wore white he would always win the fight Bang bang, he shot me down bang bang, I hit the ground bang bang, that awful sound bang bang, my baby shot me down. Down down d-down...... Bang bang, I shot you down bang bang, you hit the ground bang bang, that awful sound bang bang, I used to shoot you down.

Bang bang, I shot you down bang bang, you hit the ground bang bang, that awful sound bang bang, I used to shoot you down
One two, since that day I'm spoken, my home was broken So when the door was open, I was out and smokin' I didn't look for trouble, trouble looked for me But that'll be a lie you see Me and trouble, got along just fine Out getting pissed on a beer and a wine It didn't take long before I met people just like me Fit, Plot and Foxy We made a little team if you know what I mean Checked a few scenes, seen a few themes Sprayed a few trains, played a few games Hung around with faces and names Went out, with pretty young dames Young love and young flames
It's alright, just keep on moving
Wasn't nothing but sorrow in the house I wasn't there, I went out With the boys, just hangin' about Playing ‘round and acting like loud In them days have a common our doubts Servin' up just to keep a little cloud Plotty introduced me to stealin' And all mothers' words would lost their meaning Just stole pain to put on my name Pretty soon, it all seemed the same So this was my brand new game Stone Island and Ralph Lauren That's what we were wearin' then I loved them days so I look back again The club scene was bangin' at the time House and Garage, pills and white lines Could result a little strain on the mind We dealt with it, we were fine It felt like it was our time Seven, and a eight to the nine Hit ten, now let's climb Hit ten, now let's climb
It's alright, just keep on moving It's alright, just keep on moving It's alright, just keep on moving It's alright, just keep on moving
It's alright, alright So let's make it right It's alright, alright So let's make it right
It's alright, just keep on moving It's alright, just keep on moving
We all wanna rise up in the world Stay in and make love with our girls When I look back it's all just a whirl When I think back it's all just a swirl My mind moved to the music game And that's where my future seemed to lay Tommy D was the next man's name We made a few tracks and had a little fame But we didn't make that for fame We made a few tracks for mankind to play And that's true what more can I say? I'm not in the game to play (It's alright) I'm just in the game to say Everything's gonna be okay (It's alright) No stress, there's always a way (It's alright, just keep on moving) Doesn't matter if your jeans getting fraid Cause there's no such word as afraid It took a lil' while but we made the higher grade It took a lil' while but we made the higher grade
It's alright, just keep on moving It's alright, just keep on moving It's alright, just keep on moving It's alright, just keep on moving
It's alright, alright So let's make it right It's alright, alright So let's make it right

I've been going on for weeks but it feels like years Love the way you talk, love the way you stare, love your blue eyes and your dark soft hair, and you cant compare do those others Make me leave my brothers in the bars and the clubs(you still know, you still know)
I'm staying in now(and you still know), listening to those oldschool dubs Now I'm preaching - real love(cuz im in love) Love the things you do, the days we spend, when we break up and then we mend

Just let me take you there We got to take it there Just let me take you there We got to take it there
Just let me take you there We got to take it there Just let me take you there We got to take it there
Inspiration surrounds me The more I look, the more I see Your temptation that smells me I have to be with you
Just let me take you there We got to take it there Just let me take you there We got to take it there
We’re only blessed with one lifetime It’s time by now, that you should know The present time is the right time Just let the feeling roll
Just let me take you there We got to take it there Just let me take you there We got to take it there
I drop bombs lyrically, songs killing me Bonks filling me; with smoke from the past Into the future, let’s make this last We whine to the time Now listen to keep me blind I have forced my life to be kind Into the future with high sight Everything’s gonna be allright
Just let me take you there We got to take it there Just let me take you there I want to take it there Just let me take you there We got to take it there
Just let me take you there We got to take it there Just let me take you there
