Mean Street is the ending song for the video game River City Girls Zero, which is a 2022 updated port (and first localization) of the 1994 game Shin Nekketsu Kōha: Kunio-tachi no Banka. The rap style is inspired by rappers like Will Smith, providing a retro 90’s rap feel to match the retro feel of a...
[Intro: DEMONDICE]
(Get up)
Hey you, don't ya know where you are?
Hey everybody, representing River City
Tonight's act is the one, the only, River City Girls
Everybody make some noise, let's run this
[Verse 1: DEMONDICE]
You with the side-eye staring like you're down for a fight
Wannabe tough guys glaring on my left and my right
Left to our own devices in this rough-ridin' town
"The streets are mean so we'll be meaner"
Is the answer we found
Stay punchin', poundin' out suckеrs, cause a ruckus with the riff-raff
Hunting down the out-of-luckеrs, greet ya with a stiff laugh
Drop your cash, whiplash, time to make a quick dash
Stop to thrash around a little
Right hook, kick, smash the
Betting game liars with the
Ready, aim, fire kinda poker face
I ain't convinced, you're uninspired
Spiked bat to your tire baby, how bout that?
Just shy of going haywire at the fools who shout back
If peace and quiet's your desire, then you're probably alone
Haven't ya heard? We in River City, hands will get thrown
Make believe that we above it but if they ain't kind
We'll take that attitude shove it where the sun don't shine, ya know?
[Chorus: Megan McDuffee]
Ain't no damsels in distress
That's right, baby, we bring the mess
These streets are mean, but we stay pretty
That's how we roll in River City
[Verse 2: DEMONDICE]
Hey Mister Tough, looking for a fisticuff
Just enough to piss me off I can't resist to brawl until our wrists are cuffed
It’s who we are, it's the beast I became
Ready to spar with any nice guy or jerk all the same
Could be a game or a lifestyle, depending on who views it
Addicted to the "beat" and I ain't only talking music
Askin' us to prove it? Well, we just did
So don't ya give us any lip unless you wanna get it busted
Strangers can't be trusted, but neither can I
When you're in danger every day, it's either live or let die
Knuckle sandwiches are flying, have ya lunch with these rhymes
It's all about comedic timing when delivering punch lines
We're livin' in such times, but we still look good
It just don't feel right without a little
Trouble in my neighborhood
So you can save your "good intentions," I got doubts
But it's something you could mention while I'm knocking your lights out
[Chorus: Megan McDuffee]
Ain't no damsels in distress
That's right, baby, we bring the mess
These streets are mean, but we stay pretty
That's how we roll in River City
[Bridge: DEMONDICE]
Hey! Hey, you! Yeah, you over there (River City Brawlin')
You wanna come a little closer and say that? (River City Wildin' Out)
Meet me out in front of the ferris wheel, fool (River City Brawlin')
You know where the heck you are? This is River City, baby (River City Wildin' Out)
Come on, let's go, things about to get just a little chaotic
[Chorus: Megan McDuffee & DEMONDICE]
Ain't no damsels in distress (Yeah, alright)
That's right, baby, we bring the mess (Hey, hey)
These streets are mean, but we stay pretty (Yeah, no doubt)
That's how we roll in River City (Don't ya ever forget)

They just emailed me and were like, “hey, cool rap, do a song for us,” I was like, “fuck yeah.” I was like, “can I choose my own producer?” And they were like, “yeah, you can have Megan make something, or if you have a producer that you want to ask,” and I w...
