[Verse] In the shadows they come creeping Twisting truths while we ain't sleeping When the darkness starts to stack Gotta get that criminal off our back [Verse 2] They say we ain't got no say But we fight another way Voices loud we'll take the flak Gotta get that criminal off our back [Chorus] Whatever means necessary we'll track Gonna get that criminal off our back Echoes of freedom never slack Gonna get that criminal off our back [Bridge] No chains can hold us down Rise and wear that crown From the night we'll take it back Gonna get that criminal off our back [Verse 3] Justice ain't just a fantasy Stand tall for our liberty In our hearts we find the knack Gonna get that criminal off our back [Chorus] Whatever means necessary we'll track Gonna get that criminal off our back Echoes of freedom never slack Gonna get that criminal off our back
