Riding through Harlem   In my bulletproof car   Inside a glass shell you say   Keeps us from harm      My music's playing loudly   And people gather ?round   They wonder what we're doing   In their part of town      I try to reach out, reach out   And touch my brother's hand   Walls are too thick, Lord   It just makes him mad      Everybody's yelling   There must be something wrong   If we just listen closer   We might just get along      Wake me from my sleep now   Take me from my dream   Don't leave me here in Harlem   You made the streets so mean      This ain't no revolution   This ain't no civil war   Riding through Harlem   In my bulletproof car      An? how the signal's changing   They change from green to red   I see a confrontation   It's lying dead ahead      It all seems so familiar   Part of an endless scene   You find it so peculiar   When you're the one in need      Now you're talking, saying   Now it's me verses him   Well, I don't pick the sides   And I don't wanna win      So don't call my number   And ask to fall in line   When you don't have solutions   You've run out of time      Wake me from my sleep now   Take me from my dream   I?ll take you down to Harlem   You?ll see just what I mean      This ain't no revolution   This ain't no civil war   Riding through Harlem   In my bulletproof car      Wake me from my sleep now   Take me from my dream   Don't leave me here in Harlem   You made the streets so mean      This ain't no revolution   This ain't no civil war   Riding through Harlem   Riding through in   Riding through in a bulletproof car      Wake me from my sleep now   Take me from my dream   I?ll take you down to Harlem   You?ll see just what I mean      This ain't no revolution   This ain't no civil war   Riding through Harlem   In my bulletproof car
