Another night in this old town   Sometimes growin up can only bring you down   Sometimes I sit, I wonder   Sometimes I scream as loud as thunder   Little brother dont you know Im a man   They might think Im just a boy   But they dont understand   These city streets, they tell me stories about busted dreams and faded glory   No one seems to understand,      They tell me walk, dont run, the time will find you   Walk, dont run and your heart will guide you to   Walk, dont run, they say growing up it just aint so much fun   I feel like a loaded gun   They say dont run      My mom and dad work every day   Just to keep shoes on our feet they slaved their lives away   Grandpa had to do the same, it took him to an early grave   Call me a rebel, say the boy dont think   Im old enough to fight for my country   I aint old enough for a drink   And Im not a pawn, I cant play their game   But Poppa Im proud just to wear your name   Then he held out his hand, he said I understand      But remember walk, dont run, the time will find you   Walk, dont run and your heart will guide you to   Walk, dont run, just walk, dont run
