[Chorus]
Outlaws dance
While we got the chance
Outlaws dance
While we got the chance
Outlaws dance

[Verse 1]
On the corner, that's where you stand
A quart of Olde English in your hand
Everybody likes the way you roll
A girl's talking about how you stroll
'Cause when you roam, you're all alone
And everybody's trying to be your clone
With your earrings in your ear and your hat to the side
You never ever boast about your ride
'Cause honeys, all, short and tall
Just wait on your beck and call
In the school, you are preaching
And all of thе kids are who you're teaching
You know that thе world is give and take
So that's why you're always on the break

[Chorus]
So outlaws dance
While we got the chance
Outlaws dance
While we got the chance

[Verse 2]
In this city, not far away
A boy was known, whose name was Raleigh
Hard times was all he knew
Since the age that he was two
Ran away from a juvenile home
Went to the city, he's all alone
Taught by the pimps and the gigolos
How to be tough and how to stroll
At the age of twelve, he is raising hell
Drinking hard liquor and ginger ale
Well everybody knows the kid is tough
So no one ever dares to call his bluff
So the mob offered him twenty grand
If that kid would kill a man
He did the job so delicate
That he was bought by the syndicate
Now when Raleigh reached the age of sixteen
He had his own chauffeured limousine
A plane and all off the gangsters' riches
Smoking cocaine with the pretty [censored]
'Til the time he wanted to leave
The mob said "Not even if you bleed
'Cause you are paid for and bought"
The very next day somehow he was caught

[Chorus]
Outlaws dance
While we got the chance
Outlaws dance
While we got the chance
Outlaws dance
Outlaws dance

[Interlude]
"Kemo-kemo-kemo-kemosabe"
"Kemo-kemo-kemo-kemosabe"
"Kemo-kemo-kemo-kemosabe"
"Boy, this town ain't big enough for the both of us"
"What you mean, cowboy?"
"Boy, I'll teach you to come on my turf"
"Dance, boy"
"Okay, okay"

[Bridge]
One little, two little renegades
One got caught and one got paid
The one who got caught, he did snitch
And now they're both just digging a ditch
One little, two little renegades
One got caught and one got paid
The one who got caught, he did snitch
And now they're both just pitching a bitch

[Verse 4]
When you lie to your girl and try to avoid her
Because you find out you have a court order
But it didn't make a mack to rip the inner shoulder
Because you were caught trying to jump the border
From the [?] to the pad, the pad to the penny
Hear my rhyme echo through your city
Behind the bar, or in the alleyway
Or feel it just echo off the subway
Fresh homeboys kicking off their box
From the corner, it pumps a thousand watts
Because I sound like a champ coming through an amp
Oh, here comes the man, we got to break camp
Does the man have pimps in his Mercedes
Basing cocaine with all his fly ladies
I hear the rap through his Alpine speakers
Fly girls talk and dance 'til their knees get weaker
It's the rhyme that's bassin', the beat that's kicking
The melodies pumping 'cause the sound is sticking
From the low to the high, the high to the low
They play it at the million dollar disco

[Chorus]
So outlaws dance
While we got the chance
Outlaws dance
While we got the chance
Outlaws dance
