ever since I was a youth
papa told me not play with guns
now I’m old and I see the truth
everybody seems to got one
so if you see me on the streets
and you wanna get wise with me
come and give it a try
I’ll pull out my .45
.45
oh what a big gun
with my .45
good God I feel so alive when I’m strapped with a strapped with a big gun
now I’m old and have become a man
and I’ve got to understand
how to conceal your fire
still if you see me on the streets
and you wanna get wise with me
get up and give it a try
I’ll pull out my .45
.45
oh what a big gun
with my .45
good God I feel so alive when I’m strapped with a strapped with a big gun
still if you see me on the street
and you want to get wise
want to get wise
with me
I’m beggin you please
I’m beggin you please
come give it a try
give it a try
I’ll pull out my .45
oh what a big gun
with my .45
good God I feel so alive when I’m strapped with a strapped with a big gun
