[Verse 1]
The city street is hot
The heat is escalating
Every corner in the town
There’s a paycheck waiting

Put a flower in your pocket

If you seem them boy you drop it
And you run

You Run
They may pretend they like you

But man’s best friend will bite you

Just for fun

For fun
If they’re gunning for you boy
You’ve already won

[Verse Riff (x1)for the interlude]

[Verse 2]
I had a dream today
About a hustle lost
He paid his dues
Then he paid the cost
Wish I knew back then
All I know right now
Things would be much different
The time has allowed

Put a flower in your pocket

If you seem them boy you drop it
And you run

You Run
They may pretend they like you

But man’s best friend will bite you

Just for fun

For fun
If they’re gunning for you boy
You’ve already won

[Verse 3]
With tired eyes
And bills to pay
You gotta make it through
Another day
The streets can see
Into your soul
It ain’t where ya been
But where you’re gonna go

Put a flower in your pocket

If you seem them boy you drop it
And you run

You Run
They may pretend they like you

But man’s best friend will bite you

Just for fun

For fun
If they’re gunning for you boy
You’ve already won

I was shot by a pistol made of bone…
I got got by her bullet made of stone
oh the earth filled with flame
but it was only me to blame;
I was shot by a pistol made of bone…

the shooter was the meanest girl i know
she hated me because I loved her more
the ones that you should fear
are often those most near
I was shot by a pistol made of bone…

oh how could I been so blind?
That girl was with me all the time

(MARIACHI SOLO)[(D)]

the ones that you should fear
are often those most near
I was shot… I was shot by a pisto[(D)]l made of bone…
