Put a Flower in Your Pocket

The city street is hot The heat is escalating Every corner in the town, there's a paycheck waiting Put a flower in your pocket If you seem them boy you drop it and you run Run They may pretend they like you But man's best friend will bite you just for fun Fun If they're gunning for you boy You've already won I had a dream today About a hustle lost He paid his dues Then he paid the cost Wish I knew back then All I know right now Things would be much different The time has allowed Put a flower in your pocket If you seem them boy you drop it and you run You run They may pretend they like you But man's best friend will bite you fust for fun Fun If they're gunning for you boy You've already won With tired eyes And bills to pay You gotta make it through Another day The streets can see Into your soul It ain't where ya been But where you're gonna go Put a flower in your pocket If you seem them boy you drop it and you run Run They may pretend they like you But man's best friend will bite you just for fun For fun If they're gunning for you boy You've already won --- Put a Flower in Your Pocket - The Arcs
