Roger Campo Streets Of The City Lyrics

STREETS OF THIS CITY

I BEEN WALKING THE STREETS OF THIS CITY
SEEN THE BOYS FIGHTING TO BE MEN
SEEN THE GIRLS WALKING LIKE LADIES
FOOLISH CHILDREN TRYING TO PRETEND

THESE STREETS WILL TAKE YOU OVER
TAKE YOUR MIND, TAKE CONTROL
TEACH YOU TO FIGHT, TEACH YOU TO STEAL
TEACH YOU SEX, DRUGS AND ROCK N ROLL

OUT ON THE STREET
YOU LEARN TO FIGHT TO GET THE THINGS YOU CAN'T REACH
OUT ON THE STREETS OF THIS CITY
OUT ON THE STREETS OF THIS CITY
OUT ON THE STREET
YOU LEARN THE THINGS THAT YOUR MOMMA JUST CAN'T TEACH
OUT ON THE STREETS OF THIS CITY
OUT ON THE STREETS OF THIS CITY
BUT THE STORY THAT'S SELDOM TOLD
PEOPLE FIGHTING TO SAVE THEIR SOUL

GROWING UP ON THE STREETS OF THIS CITY
THERE'S A LANGUAGE THAT YOU LEARN SPEAK
THERE'S A JUDGE, AND A JURY
THERE'S A LAW WRITTEN IN CONCRETE
SOMEWHERE OUT ON THE STREETS OF THIS CITY
THERE'S TWO KIDS TRYING TO RISE ABOVE
ABOVE THE STREETS, UP ON THE ROOF
THEY PUT THEIR FAITH IN EACH OTHER'S LOVE

OUT ON THE STREET
IS WHERE A BOY AND A GIRL AND THEIR LOVE WILL MEET
OUT ON THE STREETS OF THIS CITY
OUT ON THE STREETS OF THIS CITY
OUT ON THE STREET
YOU LEARN TO LOVE HARD AND LOVE DEEP
OUT ON THE STREETS OF THIS CITY
OUT ON THE STREETS OF THIS CITY
BUT THE STORY THAT'S SELDOM TOLD
TWO KIDS FIGHTING TO SAVE THEIR SOUL

ALL ALONE THIS GIRL MUST DECIDE
DECIDE IF SHE WILL KEEP
THIS CHILD BORN FROM THE LUST AND THE SWEAT
AND THE BLOOD OF THESE STREETS
SHE’S HEARD THOSE BULLETS FLY
SHE’S SEEN HER LOVER DIE
SHE’S HEARD HIS MOMMA CRY
WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY

OUT ON THE STREET
OUT ON THE STREETS OF THIS CITY
