City Wolf - These Streets

VERSE 1:

Praying that you don't run out of luck
You're running but the pavements gotcha stuck
You've been around the block I know,
You've got the cuts to show it

Smoking like a bullet from a gun
The city got you crushed under its thumb
You staring at the clock I see,
Your time is up, you know it.

BRIDGE:

So write your name in the dust.
I hope they remember you, 'cause

CHORUS:

These streets, they're mean,
You gotta fight if you want to eat
It's blood and bone,
The blacktop's got a heart of stone
They're mean, these streets
They're gonna try to take you,
Never let 'em break you.

These streets!
These streets!

VERSE 2:

You been throwing punches at the wall,
Nothing really makes much sense at all,
Walking like a lonely ghost,
Your number's up, you feel it.

Looking for a streetlight in the dark,
Tryin' to find a rock to make a spark,
Maybe it's the life you chose,
You don' let 'em steal it.

BRIDGE:

So write your name in the dust,
Hope they remember you, 'cause

CHORUS:

These streets, they're mean,
You gotta fight if you want to eat
It's blood and bone,
The blacktop's got a heart of stone
They're mean, these streets
They're gonna try to take you,
Never let 'em break you.

These streets!
These streets!

VERSE 3:


Praying that you don't run outta luck
(luck, luck)
You're running but the pavements gotcha stuck
(stuck, stuck)
Smoking like a bullet from a gun

The city got you crushed under its thumb
You staring at the clock,
I see your time is up, you know it.

BRIDGE:

So write your name in the dust,
Hope they remember you, 'cause

CHORUS:

These streets, they're mean,
You gotta fight if you want to eat
It's blood and bone,
The blacktop's got a heart of stone
They're mean, these streets
They're gonna try to take you,
Never let 'em break you.
