FINALE

LOOK AT ME NOW

SOMETHING MORE

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

OUT ON THE STREET
