41 shots41 shots41 shots41 shots41 shots41 shots41 shots41 shots....and we'll take that ride'cross this bloody riverto the other side41 shots... cut through the nightYou're kneeling over his body in the vestibulePraying for his lifeIs it a gun, is it a knifeIs it a wallet, this is your lifeIt ain't no secretIt ain't no secretNo secret my friendYou can get killed just for livingIn your American skin41 shotsLena gets her son ready for schoolShe says "on these streets, CharlesYou've got to understand the rulesIf an officer stops youPromise you'll always be polite,that you'll never ever run awayPromise Mama you'll keep your hands in sight"Is it a gun, is it a knifeIs it a wallet, this is your lifeIt ain't no secretIt ain't no secretNo secret my friendYou can get killed just for livingIn your American skinIs it a gun, is it a knifeIs it in your heart, is it in your eyesIt ain't no secret41 shots... and we'll take that ride'Cross this bloody riverTo the other side41 shots... got my boots caked in this mudWe're baptized in these waters and in each other's bloodIs it a gun, is it a knifeIs it a wallet, this is your lifeIt ain't no secretIt ain't no secretNo secret my friendYou can get killed just for livingIn your American skin
