I’m a man in the big city life
hello they call me John
they say what do you do to survive
I always carry a gun 
I struggled, I fell, I missed my train, and there I stood
I faced my enemies again
ready to shed some blood

the trigger rolled over
put my hands on the grip 
I aimed for nothing but my finger slipped
you know i’m just a risk taker
ooh I’m the troublemaker

I keep my head low, so they won’t see me 
I’m a wanted man
I try to live my life for free
you got to understand
I had a deal in new york city it was a
dirty murder case
I regretted, it was a pity
they were back on the chase
