lyrics

James Ike Robinson Gray
Sold a bag to the CIA
Surrounded he ran
To the park
Still a free man (free man)
Till he’s tackled down

The city is a deep sea of blue
And it’s always tryin’ to drown you
So be careful of what you say and what you do

Patiently waiting in jail (in jail)
Freedom ready for sale
Here comes John attorney
He’s tired (he’s tired)
He explains to James

You got a record that’s a long as a sleeve
On a 7 foot man who’s dressed for January
If you make bail mom won’t get that kidney
All you need is a bargain with a plea

The city is a deep sea of blue
And it’s always tryin’ to drown you
So be careful of what you do
Cause that dog might turn and bite you

Oh the city is a deep sea of blue
So why does it go after your crew
Just be careful of what you do
Cause that dog might turn and bite you

If the city is a deep sea of blue
Then why does it go after your crew
Just be careful of what you do
Cause that dog might turn and bite you
