Just the Way I Like It

I wasn't born with a spoon in my mouth
We were so damn poor, we were down and out
Had no shoes for my dancin' feet
But I still kept time with the pulse of the street

It was a downtown [?] neighborhood
But when times were bad we made 'em good
Education didn't get me far
So I learned my licks in an all night bar

Just the way I like it
That's the way I like it
Just the way I like it
That's the way I like it

Street lights are hot, street life is cool
Deal with it Jack or it'll treat you cruel
Ain't easy, it's sleazy even slime
Call it what you wanna but it's mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine

Just the way I like it
That's the way I like it
Just the way I like it
That's the way I like it

I wasn't born with a spoon in my mouth
We were so damn poor, we were down and out
Had no shoes for my dancin' feet
But I still kept time with the pulse of the street

Just the way I like it
That's the way I like it
Just the way I like it
That's the way I like it

Just the way
Just the way
Just the way I like it

Just the way I like it
Just the way I like it
Just the way I like it (I like it)
Just the way I like it
