Lyrics
ON THE STREETS
Moon shining down on a busy street.
Homeboys hustling, trying to compete.
Got a nickel? Got a dime?
Knee deep in that life of crime.
Cars rolling in and the cars rolling out.
On the streets baby, that's what it's all about.
Deals being made, People getting paid
It's all tied in to the need to survive,
making money and stay alive.
!!!!!!! MUSIC BREAK !!!!!!
Hey, Big Time, you wanna play?
fifty dollars is all you gotta pay.
Thirty minutes and you are-home free
Something for you and something for me.
Taking a chance on going to jail.
But on the streets baby, everything is for sale.
Deals being made, People getting paid
It's all tied into the will to survive,
making money and stay alive.
!!!!!!! MUSIC BREAK !!!!!!
Now, I don't care if you think I'm squealing
It's better than robbing, killing and dealing.
I'm just letting you in on what you want to know
and if you've got the money, I've got the info.
It doesn't matter if you are the man in blue
On the streets baby, your money spends too.
deals are being made, people getting paid
It's all tied into the will to survive,
making money and stay alive.
!!!!!!!!!!! FADE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Forget about the reason. forget about the rhyme.
you're caught between the life of straight or crime.
Choose wrong, baby and you are sure to lose.
but on the streets baby, you've got to choose.
!!!!!!! MUSIC END !!!!!!
