If you gotsta know
what happen 22nd August 07
said I know
And times weren't tough,
but we couldn't get enough
and now you've got to
keep it on the down low
Rolled up in the place
Rockin' 'nuff mase
Stills up in the face
Safe's open like bar be out our party
said I know
Robbed a bank today, oh yeah
Said put your backs against the wall
And gimme something to roll in
They thought it was a prank 'till we said
Go put your backs against the wall
Now I'm running, I'm running away
We just got through Bonnie
And Clyde got amped up
It's dog day afternoon in our home
We flat our nose
with our girl's panty hose
And I got bros in the front
Two bros in the back
said I know
Check it now
You know I ain't yellow
Stop once getting digits of a cute teller
With our actions on a napkin
We rock and roll
Robbed a bank today, oh yeah
Said put your backs against the wall
And gimme something to roll in
They thought it was a prank 'till we said
Go put your backs against the wall
Now I'm running, I'm running away
D-d-d-d-da, da da da da da
D-d-d-d-da, da da da da da
D-d-d-d-da, da da da da da
Da da da da da [x2]
I'll get a new place
Formally owned by Chevy Chase
I'm slowin' down my pace
Have you forgot we're being chased
Wallet for my wallet and a girl for my girl
And I said I'll be fine ya
Stickin' up the man
We do what we can
Fleein' to Japan
I'm not moving to Japan
Rockin' no copsin' and I'm chalkin' one up and
Robbed a bank today, oh yeah
Said put your backs against the wall
And gimme something to roll in
They thought it was a prank 'till we said
Go put your backs against the wall
Now I'm running, I'm running away
Same as I ever knew
Gone down the avenue
I fooled all of you
All for the revenue
Not gonna share with you
