[Verse 1: Ice-T]
God damn, what a brother✦ gotta✦ do
To get a message✦ through
To the red and white and blue
What? I gotta✦ die before✦ you realize✦
I was a brother✦ with opened✦ eyes?
The world's insane✦ while you drink champagne✦
And I'm living✦ in black reign
You try to ban the A.K
I got ten of them stashed
With a case of hand grenades
[Hook: Body Count]
(Tell us what to do?) Fuck you!
(Tell us what to do?) Fuck you!
(Tell us what to do?) Fuck you!
(Tell us what to do?) Fuck you!
[Verse 2: Ice-T]
You'd know what to do
If your kid got killed✦ on the way to school
Or a cop shot your kid in the back yard
Shit would hit the fan motherfucker✦ and it will hit real hard
I hear it every✦ night, another✦ gun fight
The tension✦ mounts, on with the Body✦ Count
[Break: Ice-T]
Yo Beatmaster V, take these motherfuckers✦ to South Central
Ha ha ha, yeah, fuck that
I hear it every✦ night, another✦ gun fight
The tension✦ mounts, on with the Body✦ Count
Last weekend thirty✦ seven✦ kids killed✦ in gang warfare in my back yard
NO!!, NO!!, NO!!
Yo Ernie C, take these motherfuckers✦ home, yeah
Yo, we're in the house, Body✦ Count fool, 1991 motherfucker✦
I hear it every✦ night, another✦ gun fight
The tension✦ mounts, on with the Body✦ Count
[Verse 3: Ice-T]
God damn what a brother✦ gotta✦ do
To get a message✦ through
To the red and white and you?
What? I gotta✦ die before✦ you realize✦
I was a nigga✦ with opened✦ eyes?
The world's insane✦ while you drink champagne✦
And I'm living✦ in black reign
Don't you hear the guns?
You stupid,✦ dumb, dick sucking, bum politicians!!
[Hook: Body Count]
(Tell us what to do?) Fuck you!
(Tell us what to do?) Fuck you!
[Outro: Ice-T]
The tension✦ mounts...
