Billy Jack (custis Mayfield Cover) Lyrics - Lenny Kravitz

Written by: curtis mayfield 

Just out of monday 

Run into a friend 

Down the street, down the street 

Where I live 

Ah! ah! sad things begin 

I could feel from within 

From the message, from the message 

He had to give 

'bout a buddy of mine 

Running out of time 

Somebody past noon, shot across the room 

And now the man no longer lives

Too bad about him 

Too sad about him 

Don't get me wrong, the man is gone 

But it's a wonder he lived this long 

Up in the city they called him boss jack 

But down home he was a alley cat 

Ah! didn't care nothing about being black 

Oh! billy jack 

Can't be no fun (can't be no fun) 

To be shot, shot with a hand gun 

Body sprawled out, you without a doubt 

Running people out, there on the floor, oh oh oh 

Ah! ah! bad bloody bloody mess 

Shot all up in his chest 

One sided duel, gun and a fool 

What a way to go

Up in the city they called him boss jack 

But down home he was a alley cat 

Ah! didn't care nothin' 'bout being black 

Ah, oh, billy jack 

Ah! ah! ah! ah!
