Mean Streets

For God's sake - you're just like a brother

For God's sake - not like any other

For God's sake - you're not just another man

For God's sake - there's no way of knowing

For God's sake - there's no way of showing

For God's sake - it's not just another crime

Down in the streets - it's just dirty and mean

Down in the streets - we're just living in fear

Down in the streets - we're gonna burn and fry

'cause we're living in mean streets

Mean streets

We're living in mean streets

Mean streets

For God's sake - we can't keep a going

For God's sake - we reap what we are sowing

For God's sake - it's not just another time

For God's sake - another dead brother

For God's sake - they're all motherfuckers

For God's sake - there's no way to heal the blind

Down in the streets - dirty and mean

Down in the streets - living in fear

Down in the streets - we're gonna burn and fry

Down in the streets - we're gonna take you high
