Lyrics:
There he goes running down the street. He's moving and panting and
stomping his feet. He's hoping and trying to lose the law. He's almost
away but there is a flaw. He hit a dead end and there is no way out, but
it seems as if he has no doubt. Look at that hole in the wall to his
right, he's punching the bricks out with all of his might. He's making
his way through little by little, one minute more and he'll get to the
middle. He gets to the other side and sees it, his big black car and his
driver in it. The cops are gaining with each passing moment. It's making
him nervous but he'll never show it. He's too rough for anyone. . . he's
the 7th street gangster. He looks in the mirror and pulls out his gun,
cocks it and aims it ready for fun. Got a big problem, his bullets are
gone. But even worse his driver named Don is passed out on the floor of
the car, with him down there they won't go far. The only solution is
under his seat, he pushes the button the ground leaves his feet. Once
again the 7th street gangster has won. Why do people challenge him when
they know what will be done. He's never lost and I doubt he ever will. A
word of warning to you all-never mess with the SSG.
That's it! I hope you like it. Please e-mail me if you have any
questions, comments, requests, or want to talk about DHC!

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official DANCE HALL CRASHERS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
