Trouble in Town lyrics

[Verse 1: Chris Martin]
Trouble in town
Because they cut my brother down
Because my sister can't wear her crown
There's trouble, there's trouble in town
Blood on the beat (Oh-oh)
Oh my goodness, there's blood on the beat
Law of the jungle or the law of the street
There's blood on, there's blood on the beat

[Chorus: Chris Martin]
And I get no shelter
And I get no peace
And I never get released

[Verse 2: Chris Martin]
Trouble in town (Oh-oh)
Because they hung my Brother Brown
Because their system just keep you down
There's trouble, there's trouble in town

[Chorus: Chris Martin]
And I get no shelter
And I get no peace
And I just get more police, eh
And I get no comfort
And I get no name
Everything is gettin' strange
[Interlude: Young Men & Police Officer Philip Nace, Chris Martin]
Best friends
What's that?
What's his name?
X (Standby, sir)
Alright, is that X your middle name?
Of course, it's on a vehicle ID, right? (There must be some way)
You gettin' smart? 'Cause you'll be in a f*cking car with him
I'm telling you
f*cking smartass (Or it's gonna kick off someday)
I'm asking you what the X is, is that your middle name?
Of course, what is it?
Don't come back with the "What is it?" f*cking sh*t (There must be some way)
Talk to these f*cking pigs on the street that way, you ain't talking to me that way
I don't talk to nobody in the streets, I don't hang with nobody
Well, then don't come to f*cking Philadelphia, stay in Jersey
I have family out here
Everybody thinks they're a f*cking lawyer and they don't know jack sh*t
Are you supposed to grab me like this?
Grab you up? I'll grab you any way I got to
You're not protecting me by stopping me while I'm trying to go to work
Why don't you shut up?

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
U Mandela Siyamthanda futhi uyaziwa yonk'
Indawo jikelele
Jikelele, jikelele
Jikelele, jikelele
Jikelele, jikelele
Jikelele, jikelele
