Getting weapons with the greatest of ease

The gangs stake their own campus locale 
    E2                G2                F#2      B  D2 
And if they catch you slippin' then it's all over pal 
   B        F#          A   B           D   F# A 
If one guy's colors and the others don't mix

They're gonna bash it up, bash it up, bash it up, bash it up
