On the Street Where You Live

On the streets
On the streets again
On the streets
On the streets

On the streets and down on the corner
Hangin' out with all of the crowd
People speak but nobody listens
'Cause everybody's talkin' out loud
There's a freak hangin' on the corner
Waitin' for someone to throw down
Somethin' sweet but somethin' not too special
'Cause tomorrow night he won't be around

On the streets, you live and die
On the streets, you laugh and cry
On the streets, it's give and take
On the streets, it's jive and faith

On the prowl, I can see you livin'
And skippin' to a beat on his own
He's a real, I think he must be flippin'
Kickin' somethin' he must've thrown, yeah
On the streets, you must be strong and willin'
Even if it's killin' your pride
On the streets, it's cold and even chillin'
It changes somethin' deep down inside

On the streets, you laugh and cry
On the streets, you live and die
On the streets, it's give and take
On the streets, it's jive and faith

Ooh-ooh, I can't understand it
Ooh-ooh, people, they demand it
Ooh-ooh, I wish to rearrange it
Ooh-ooh, wish that I can change it

On the streets

On the streets, you laugh and cry
On the streets, you live and die
On the streets, you live and learn
On the streets, sometimes you burn
On the streets, it's give and take
On the streets, it's jive and faith
