Get your hands in the air, sir 
And you will get no hurt, mister, no no no

Do you believe I would take such a thing with me 
And give it to a police man?

And if I do that
I would say sir come on and put the charge on me

Listen what they say (listen what they say) 

Oh, work could not control me now 
Oh, no bars could not hold me now 
They hold I down and they lock-a you way 
They try to keep I for a year and a day 
But through the powers of the Most High God 
Got to turn me lose, I say 

54-46 was my number, was my number, man 
Right now, someone else has that number, well 
54-46 was my number, was my number, man 
Right now, someone else has that numb
