Back when I was a teen
My father he said to me:
"I've got a story for you.
Your back! Watch Your Back."

Living life under the gun
Ain't so easy when you're on the run
Always listen to this advice,
Your back, Watch Your Back."

Tried once to get away
Had to turn the other way
Soon felt a knife in my back
Holy Shit man, I'm under attack.

Back when I was a teen
My father he said to me:
"I've got a story for you.
Your back! Watch Your Back."

My best friend was a thief
Problem stealing from me,
As he taxed me, he used to say
Your back! Watch Your Back."

Now this story is over and done
Think about it when you're on the run
Always listen to this advice,
Your back, Watch Your Back."
