American Skin - 41 Shots Lyrics

41 shots
41 shots
41 shots
41 shots
41 shots
41 shots
41
shots
41 shots and we'll take that ride
41 shots
41 shots
41
shots

Lena gets her son ready for school
She says now on these
streets Charles
You got to understand the rules
Promise me if an officer
stops you'll allways be polite
Never ever run away and promise momma you'll
keep your hands in sight

Cause 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
The
secret my friend
You can get killed just for living in your American
skin

41 shots
41 shots
41 shots
Across this bloody river to the
other side
41 shots they 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
Ain't no secret my friend
You can get killed just for
living in your American skin

41 shots
41 shots
41
shots

Lena gets her son ready for school
She says now on these
streets Charles
You got to understand the rules
Promise me if an officer
stops you'll always be polite
Never ever run away and promise momma you'll
keep your hands in sight

Cause is it a gun?
Is it a knife?
Is it a
wallet?
This is your life
It ain't no secretn get killed just for living
in your American skin

41 shots
41 shots
41 shots

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

41 shots and we'll
take that ride
Across this bloody river to the other side
41 shots my
boots caked in mud
We're baptized in these waters and in each other's
blood

It ain't no secretIs it a knife?
Is it a wallet?
This is
your life
It ain't no secret
It ain't no secret
The secret my
friend
You can get killed just for living in
You can get killed just for
living in
You can get killed just for living in your American skin
