In the Street

Growing up, who said it was easy?
It is rough, you have to be strong and tough
Stay alive, if you are to survive
You will fight, for the things you know are right

Growing up, sure can be a struggle
There are posts, only looking out for trouble
Rival gangs, hang out on the corner
For your blood, see which of you are the stronger

In the streets
In the streets

I've got to be a man
Got to lose my head
In the streets
In the streets

I know I must be strong
I can do no wrong
In the streets
In the streets

Yeah, yeah
In the streets
In the streets
Aah!

In the streets, where I meet my woman
Out to the beat, any joker who was coming
Fuck with me, she fell out of danger
Was advice, to protect her from all strangers

In the streets, playground of the hustlers
Snatching girls, as if they were cattle rustlers
Chuckie's world, push by the dozen
You can bet, that a push is your cousin

In the streets
In the streets
Yeah, yeah

I've got to be the boss
Leader just belongs
In the streets
In the streets

I've got to be aware
Show that I'm not scared
In the streets
In the streets
Yeah, yeah

Victory, all you need
In the streets
In the streets, y'all

In the streets
In the streets
Yeah, yeah

I've got to be the boss
Leader just belongs
In the streets
In the streets

I've got to be aware
Show that I'm not scared
In the streets
In the streets
Ah -ha

Victory, all the peace
In the streets, y 'all

Growing up, who said it was easy?
It is rough, you have to be strong and tough
Stay alive, if you are to survive
You will fight, for the things you know are right

Growing up, sure can be a struggle
There are posts, only looking out for trouble
Rival gangs, hang out on the corner
For your blood, see which of you are the stronger

In the streets, where I meet my woman
Out to the beat, any joker who was coming
Fuck with me, she fell out of danger
Was advice, to protect her from all strangers
