Now this bad boy back in brooklyn
With such a hunger in his eye
He wus tall
He wus lean
And you just know what he mean
Just like a devil in disguise
This man he juz stood in the corner
Another one of those quiet kind
But you smell one bad news like a long slow fuse
Guarantee to blow your mind
It was after dawn in sunset park
In the heat of the new york nite
When a shot rang out
I heard somebody shout
Don't stand
Don't stand
Don't you stand in my way
There's ain't nothing to say about it
Don't stand
Don't stand
Don't you stand in my way
I said that's ok I wouldn't doubt it
Don't be a bad guy
Be a nice guy
Now he look to the left
He look to the right
He looks away cuz he dun care to fight
He push on to and the come to push
It sounds like a rattle snake from out of the bush
So if you hear that sound you better get outta town
Before the walls come tumbling down
Don't stand
Don't stand
Don't you stand in my way
There's nothing to say about it
Don't stand
Don't stand
Don't you stand in my way
I said that's ok
Maybe some other day
