The Streets

Well I tried so hard but still I fall Fall back down the great below And it's been a while since I have prayed But tonight I'm on my knees I'm asking why, why, why me? The streets is where I's born And the streets is where I'll die Until then the streets is where I'll be So keep pouring the drinks till I forget my name I love my life but it gets hard As I'm sure it does for us all from time to time So keep living it through, I'll keep living it too I hang my head, hang it low And I pray that it gets a little better down the line Why? Why me? The streets is where I's born And the streets is where I'll die Until then the streets is where I'll be Oh sweet mother of two you work hard, so hard to keep your heads above the water And although I stand on the shore with a line, I can't seem to untangle it From the selfish dreams of my own I wish I had just a little more money To help you out in the times when it's hard, so hard, so hard The streets is where I's born And the streets is where I'll die Until then the streets is where I'll be --- The Streets - Foxy Shazam
