OUT ON THE STREET by City Kid published on 2023-04-15T16:33:58Z Out on the street Tryin’ to find my way Out on the street Hopin’ to get my pay Feel the heat This city can bring you down Get a cooler beat Hollywood, it’s Hollyweird Man. it’s the land of the broken dreams Tryin’ everything in sight Takin’ it to extremes I watch out for you, you watch out for me That’s what I call family We don’t need to be alone Where we’re at, we call home Like a sister Like a brother It’s called being there for each other City days, city nights Funky bars and neon lights Rides around the block three times Watch out for the black and whites Con games and petty crimes Sellin’ to the highest bid Doin’ what we do to survive Bein’ a City Kid Bein’ a City Kid Bein’ a City Kid Bein’ a City Kid Up early in the morning, sun in the sky My alarm clock’s a black and white passin’ by So I roll up my bed, pull my cap on my head And figure out another way for me to get fed If I feed me it would be cheaper Unfortunately, I’m my brother’s keeper All for one, one for all mentality No matter your sex, your age or nationality The streets don’t discriminate, they just generate A negative energy for me to facilitate Everybody in the street is built like concrete Hard, strong and walked on by society Nevertheless this is where I call home I don’t need a steady job or a cellular phone If I don’t see you we don’t need to talk And I’ll pay my respects when you’re outlined in chalk I watch out for you, you watch out for me That’s what I call family We don’t have to be alone Where we’re at, we call home Like a sister Like a brother Never letting go, we’re there for each other We feel no shame, twist our minds Learn to keep our feelings hid Struggle just to stay alive Sell out to the highest bid Doin’ the Hollywood jive Never think about what we did Change our names, learn to slide Take the real stuff, keep it hid Doin’ what we do to survive Bein’ a City Kid Bein’ a City Kid Bein’ a City Kid Bein’ a City Kid Bein’ a City Kid
