These mean streets
Up in these mean streets

Crippling
Ain't no pimple cream
Recurring dream
Burglary
Houso boys not afraid to kill
Child soldiers don’t know right from wrong
Ego strong ain't no ego song
Ego long like expensive bong
Twelve year olds
They be smoking cigs
Smoking weed cause their daddy did
Daddy's gone ‘cos they do round here
No options so Mum’s gambling
Pedophiles coming in my home
Got a bike because I can steal
Marg' on toast were their last four meals
South Australia
Not Brazil
Not Russia or Africa
Lucky country
Go fuck yourself

These mean streets
Up in these mean streets

(Simo Soo)

St Mary's cemetery huffin' bongs laced with herron
Sawn off shotgun ridin' shotgun Year 7
Best friend died of asthma
Don't believe in Heaven
Satan more forgiving
Three 6 Mafia on my Discman
Kids get pregnant then the teachers get the transfers
Stoned in exams with the sleeves covered in answers
How many chances do you get?
I think I used them all
I'm not passing shit unless it's joints or a basketball
Slept on the floor on the night when you disappeared
Racist neighbours ran your whole family outta here
Sometimes I think of you and wonder are you okay
I’d look for you on Instagram but don’t know your @ name
I've seen some real shit (real shit)
Fuck up your life shit (life shit)
These streets got mean streaks
And these is some mean streets

These mean streets
Up in these mean streets

Serf in a kingdom don’t know what is that?
Radicalise me don't know what to live for
Kill a cop
Rob a shop
Watched my uncle kill his dog
Watched my best mate light a fire
Burned a factory got away with it
I got nothing
Just some stories
Tell the world no one's applauding
