Joshua’s Word

Johnny Clarke, Dillinger

[Intro]
*Scatting*

[Chorus]
None shall escape the Gun Court in this time
These words were spoken by Joshua
None shall escape the Gun Court in this time
These words were spoken by Joshua

[Verse 1]
Arise gunmen an' forward up your gun into the churches now
For he that is found with illegal firearm shall brought before the court
An' drive yourself in there, an' get your life sentence
So throw away your gun, an' let us have some fun
Anything you do, the law is watching you
So don't you be no fool, just stick by the rule

[Post-Verse]
'Cause it dreadful (Yeah-yeah)
'Cause it dreadful

[Verse 2]
You could-a screw, chop di youth
Police an' soldier will pull your screw
You could-a bad 'til you fool
Police an' soldier will make you cool
You could-a screw, chop di youth
Police an' soldier will pull di screw
You could-a bad 'til you fool
Police an' soldier will make you cool (Yeah-yeah)

[Bridge]
*Scatting*

[Verse 3]
Now you know that crime don't pay, so why don't you obey?
So you see, there's no place to run, so throw away your gun
Mister gunman, be cool, an' don't you be no fool
Just throw away your gun, an' let us have some fun
You could-a bad 'til you fool
Police an' soldier will make you cool
You could-a screw, chop di youth
Police an' soldier will pull di screw
You could-a bad 'til you fool
Police an' soldier will make you cool

[Outro]
*Scatting*
