Stray-Kid
Pink Cream 69 · One Size Fits All [1991]
While you were on the way
And your Mama worked to feed you
She said herself to pay
She left a stray-kid to run
A little stray-kid to run
Hey little stray-kid better run
In the rich man's fire
In the rich man's fire
Stray-kid you'd better run
Stray-kid he's got a gun
Stray-kid you'd better run
You'd better run, better run
Barefoot boy, you're just a begger
And if you steal you'll die
Know your brothers and your sisters
Will sell you for a dime
Hey little stray-kid better run
From the rich man's fire
From the rich man's fire
Stray-kid you'd better run
Stray-kid he's got a gun
Stray-kid you'd better run
You'd better run, better run
Stray-kid you'd better run (Run like I do)
Stray-kid he's got a gun (Run like I do)
Stray-kid you'd better run
You'd better run, better run
Stray-kid you'd better run
Stray-kid he's got a gun
Stray-kid you'd better run
You'd better run, better run
Stray-kid you'd better run (Run like I do)
Stray-kid he's got a gun (No, no, no)
Stray-kid you'd better run
You'd better run, better run
