Walkin' five blocks every day to earn my keep
|
It ain't easy when you're walkin' on these streets
|
Runnin' on a tightrope it's a real thin line
|
Thinkin' that you might die this time
|
Some things will never change, a street education
|
So close yet so far, just a block from the station
|
Standin' on the corner, I might get taken out
|
Five blocks to the subway, just five blocks away
|
Five blocks to the subway, I can do that any day
|
There's a local wise guy he owns the whole damn block
|
It's easy doin' business when you're payin' off the cops
|
Makin' money pushin' drugs wouldn't stop if he could
|
Killin' kids in his own damn neighborhood
|
Watch out for muggers and the pickpockets beware
|
You get to play these games when you pay transit fare
|
Trials and tribulations, a journey made each day
|
This is my reality,the hardest game to play
|
Standin' on the platform and I'm waiting for the train
|
Good thing I'm underground, now it's startin' to rain
|
Always stand alone, hold the wall up with my back
|
Or else you might get pushed on to the tracks
|
