Standing on the corner
Reasoning with your Bredren
You never mean no trouble
You never do no harm
Taking it cool and calm
And a so we a gwaan
Gwaan gwaan gwaan
Over in the ghetto
Tribulations I know now
Never seem to leave
I and I Bredrens no time at all
No time at all
Standing on the corner
Conversing with your Sistren
You never mean no trouble
You never do no harm
Taking it cool and calm
And a so we a gwaan
Gwaan gwaan gwaan
Reasoning with your Bredren
You never mean no trouble
You never do no harm
Taking it cool and calm
And a so we a gwaan
Gwaan gwaan gwaan
Over in the ghetto
Tribulations I know now
Never seem to leave
I and I Bredrens no time at all
No time at all
Standing on the corner
Conversing with your Sistren
You never mean no trouble
You never do no harm
Taking it cool and calm
And a so we a gwaan
Gwaan gwaan gwaan
