Rude Boy went in handsome hats
Policeman knocking with a rat-a-tat-a-tat
Them bored around the streets at night
They're not looking but they find a fight
I say inner London violence
Inner London violence
Inner London violence
Inner London violence
Policemen coming there's no relief
Even your best friend is a thief
Soon locked up in your council flat
Machine gun go a rat-a-tat-a-tat
I say inner London violence
Inner London violence
Inner London violence
Inner London violence
Hey hey hey
(instrumental break)
Inner London violence
Inner London violence
Inner London violence
Inner London violence
Inner London violence
Inner London violence
Inner London violence
Inner London violence
Inner London violence
Inner London violence
Inner London violence
Inner London violence
Inner London violence
Inner London violence
Inner London violence
