lyrics

Boys, we were born boxers
With hands like our fathers
Not bound to the fight
But if you gotta fight
Keep it honest, keep it clean
No knives or guns tonight
No lost brothers, mothers holding candles

Take back the city, take back the streets
Take back the city, take back the streets

Gentlemen, these are hard times
To keep our sisters safe
Fight if you gotta fight
But don't fight to kill
'Cause no one wins
No knives or guns tonight
No lost brothers, mothers holding candles

Take back the city, take back the streets
Take back the city, take back the streets

Bound by blood we're together
Down by the tracks, kicking up dust
Like wolves ready, ripe for the hunt

Take it back, take it back, take it back, take it back
You were born ready.

Oh yes you were.

Take back the city, take back the streets
