City Streets

They'll blame you forever
If you step out of line and you do it twice
They'll draw you a thin line
And tell you how this is the way of life

How long must I wait?
Just one of a crowded human race
I won't wait forever
So give me some space, let me show my face

I am a product of
A victim of
The city streets
I'm on the wild side
I rule with pride
Keep this is mind

I try to remember
A time when I thought I was in the right
But time proved to change me
And the law that I learned rearranged my life

I'd do anything
To recapture the simple life I lived
But I won't be fenced in
So give me some space, let me show my face

I am a product of
The victim of
The city streets
I'm on the wild side
Keep this is mind
I rule with pride

I am a product of
The victim of
The city streets
I'm treated royally
By those who know
My hostile code

They'll never accept you
If you do what you want and you do it right
They're trying to get you
To give up your proud, wild way of life

But so many dreams
Are always a thousand streets away
I won't wait forever
So give me some space, let me show my face

I am a product of
A victim of
The city streets
I'm on the wild side
Keep this is mind
I rule with pride

I am a product of
A victim of
The city streets
I'm treated royally
By those who know
My hostile code

I am a product of
A victim of
The city streets
