Raised up with two kinds of people |
|
The good ones and the bad |
|
I was taught from early on |
|
The only choice |
|
I hadNow I see, it's clear to me |
|
What was in the plan |
|
Had to walk the walk and talk the talk |
|
And try to be a man |
|
I swear the wind took me away |
|
But now I'm here again today, yeah |
|
I'm back on the mean streets |
|
Oh, it's the only thing |
|
I knowNever change me, it was born in my soul |
|
And it don't take much to make me mad |
|
Push me a little and |
|
I bring back |
|
I've a mean streak, oh |
|
Yeah, I'm back on the mean streets |
|
Somebody stole my money |
|
I heard a brother say |
|
Used to we'd fight it out |
|
That was yesterday |
|
Just because you're packin' son |
|
Don't make you a man |
|
If you shoot to kill, what's the thrill |
|
Why don't you understand |
|
Each time |
|
I walk outside my door |
|
We need a change and that's for sure |
|
I'm back on the mean streets |
|
Oh, it's the only thing |
|
I knowNever change me, it was born in my soul |
|
And it don't take much to make me mad |
|
Push me a little and |
|
I bring back |
|
I've a mean streak, oh |
|
Yeah, I'm back on the mean streets |
|
Do you ever think about where you're goin'? |
|
Have you ever thought about where you've been? |
|
Will you ever pass this way again? |
|
There's a fear and you know it |
|
But inside, you can't show it |
|
No where for you to run and hide |
|
I'm back on the mean streets |
|
Yes, it's the only thing |
|
I knowNever change me, it was born in my soul |
|
And it don't take much to make me mad |
|
Push me a little and |
|
I bring back |
|
I've a mean streak |
|
Yeah, I'm back on the mean streets |
|
Yeah, I'm back on the mean streets, baby |
|
I'm back on the mean streets |
|

|
On the mean streets |
|
Don't take much to take me back |
