Lyrics
A kid is killed on any corner
From Brooklyn Heights to California
There's different ways of gettin' higher
Don't knock it 'till you try it
The summer's hot, the winter's longer
An angry wind is getting stronger
You play it cool, you stop the fire
Don't knock it 'till you try it
Ooh, what we all need, now
Let me show you how
Don't knock it 'till you try it
Don't knock it 'till you try it
You play it cool, you stop the fire
Don't knock it 'till you try it
Yeah
They build a wall around a city
It's not for looks, it isn't pretty
A kid will take his chance and climb it
Don't knock it 'till you try it
Well, no one really has to suffer
Tear down the walls around each other
A kid is lucky to survive it
Don't knock it 'till you try it
Ooh, what we all need, now
Let me show you how
Don't knock it 'till you try it
Don't knock it 'till you try it
A kid is lucky to survive it
Don't knock it 'till you try it, no
Yeah
Yeah, let me show you how
For every kid on every corner
I see a wall that stands no longer
The words are written down beside it
Don't knock it 'till you try it, yeah
Don't knock it 'till you try it
Don't knock it 'till you try it
For every kid on every corner
Don't knock it 'till you try it
Don't, don't, don't
Don't knock it 'till you try it
Don't knock it 'till you try it
Don't knock it 'till you try it
Don't knock it 'till you try it,yeah
Until you try it
Don't knock it 'till you try it
