Just like every cop is a criminal
And all those sinner saints
And an innocent child in the back of the school yard
Plays victim circumstances not so innocent
You can learn a little something
From all the writings on the walls
But if everything was for sure or for certain
Tell me how would you know
One thing time has tought me you will surley find out
And i say
Whoah oh oh oh

Yes where the devil makes a killin off of you and me 2x
Don't cry dry your eyes everything is gonna be alright yeah
Na na na na na na na na ohhhhoh yeah 2x
'Cuz we aint got no money
We're so broke that we can't even afford to pay attention
Though my mind gets weak and i cant speak im tired of feeling this devil's deceit and all i'm asking you is to understand
'Cuz everything is gonna come back to you ten fold
But a me say in your life in time
Well you best believe that the karma of the lies they goin follow you on through breaking it down to the other side
And i say
Oh oh oh oh
Livin' in the city yeah
Where the devil makes a killin off of you and me me 2x
Don't cry dry your eyes
Everything is gonna be alright yeah
Na na na na na na na na ohhhhoh yeah 2x
The music don't go on without the dj yeah
The music don't go on without that smooth operator 4x
