Steve walks warily down the street

With the brim pulled way down low

Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet
e b b b a b a
Machine guns ready to go

Are you ready , hey , are you ready for this?
g g C C C C C C C D
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?

Out of the doorway the bullets rip
a a a a a b
To the sound of the beat
