| Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom boom boom
|
| This is a holdup, everybody on the ground
|
| Put your hands behind your head, don’t make a sound
|
| This old system been keeping us down, down, down
|
| Now me and my friends think it’s time to turn this mess around
|
| We all know this ain’t what you expected
|
| We know this must come as a surprise
|
| Imagine how it feels to be rejected, scorned and scoffed at
|
| Imagine how it feels to be despised
|
| Boom boom, chick-a-boom boom boom
|
| Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom boom boom
|
| Too much money in too few hands
|
| We’ll be on our way once you meet our small demands
|
| So come on, people, do as I say
|
| You may just live to see a better day
|
| Everybody on the ground
|
| We’re gonna pass this bag around
|
| Fill it up with what you got
|
| Fill it up with what you got
